Top 10 Books With the Most Vivid Worlds/Settings...
1. Harry Potter Series by J. K. Rowling
Go to Hogwarts and attend a Quidditch match--OMG did you see the Golden Snitch? ~ Rachel & Ange
2. Fire by Kristin Cashore
Oh how I long to see Fire's world of Monsters so terribly beautiful that you ache to look upon them, but oh how I wish to be her friend. ~Ange
3. The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
Give me a ticket to the circus, so I can appreciate the magic! ~Rachel
4. The Castor Chronicles by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl
This world of castors, sirens, memories, mystery, lightness, darkness and most importantly a love that transcends everything is vividly gorgeous and I can't wait to see what it looks like in the movie being filmed based on this series! ~Ange
5. The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster
I've always wanted to ride along with Milo and experience all of the fantastical worlds he drives through, including the Island of Conclusions--I wanted to jump over with him. Hehe... ~Rachel
6. Dark Life by Kat Falls
A deep sea frontier-land, are you kidding me!? How amazing is that! Who wouldn't want to see that? ~Ange
7. The Thirteenth Child by Patricia C. Wrede
A wild west with magical creatures--I want to see! ~Rachel
8. The Roar & The Whisper by Emma Clayton
This world! This world! I stubble at explaining and describing these books. They are just so darn good! I get lost in Miki and Ellie's future world fighting along-side them with all of the other impoverished children of what used to be London. ~Ange
9. Unspoken by Sarah Rees Brennan
Dark, gothic, blood in the woods, and all too real! Yikes! ~Rachel
10. Velveteen by Daniel Marks
Hunting bad guys in the upper world, possessing bodies, revenge against a murderer, life in the in-between world...how I wanted to join Velvet's kick-butt team in this dark world of death! Watch for this one when it comes out in October! ~Ange

DeleteHarry Potter's world sounds so fantastic to be a part of. I agree with you!
ReplyDeleteHarry Potter and The Night World are on my list too! I totally want to live in both. Minus the evil people.
ReplyDeleteAh, but minus the evil ppl would the worlds be as exciting? :)
