Surviving Fictional Worlds
Today we’ll talk about surviving fictional worlds. We all know that sometimes, the worlds we love in fiction can be dangerous. Which fictional worlds would you want to live in? Which worlds do you never want to dive into? Which worlds are you content to stay behind the glass, so to speak, rather than wishing to dive through the page? And once you get there, what would you do?

 

Julie Review Avatar Julie:

Some of our favorite stories are set in the kind of world we are very happy that we are separated from by the pages. I don’t want to be in a world like The Hunger Games, for example, but I love reading books set in those worlds and following my characters as they struggle and overcome their scary situation. Though, I wouldn’t mind hanging out in the Harry Potter world, you know, after the hero saves the day 🙂

Sign me up to live at Hogwarts. A magical castle sounds pretty excellent to me!
There are a lot of pitfalls, however, to living in the realms designed by authors. Like Julie, I would hard pass on living in The Hunger Games. Same for the Matched world. I would also take a pass on living in any historical novels. I have a preference for modern plumbing and antibiotics. Which makes the world of Austenlandan excellent compromise between historic settings, with modern conveniences, that I would actually live in. I would also whole-heartedly live in the Dublin of the Fever series. As long as I can live in Jericho’s bookstore.

  1. Book Bloggers are great because …
    They are community focused, like-minded (bookish) even when reading tastes don’t necessarily agree, and amazingly helpful to one another in areas where knowledge or know-how might be lacking.

    • Lynn

      I agree completely. Bloggers realize that not all readers have the same taste in books. But we are ok with that!

    • Lynn

      I think I’d be ok with VISITING historical novels. For a very short amount of time, Donna!

    • Lynn

      I agree, Ariel. I think bloggers are great at spreading the world about unknown books.

    • Lynn

      I didn’t read these books til I was adult. But yes, I fantasied about attending Hogwarts even then, Penni!

  2. Book bloggers rock because of the community (I’d be seriously lonely without ya’ll), the great articles, and of course the giveaways. We all need an extra way to support our book habits and authors afterall 🙂

  3. I’d love to live in the wizarding world too. Just imagining exploring Diagon Alley leaves me feeling so excited.

    • Lynn

      Yeah, Elizabeth. I don’t have much in the way of survival skills. Unless there is a book out there to read!
