Top Ten Most Vivid Book Worlds/Settings
1. Hogwarts from
the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. Nothing gets better than a magical castle full of witches, wizards and other magical beings.
2. The Area from
The Hunger Games by Susanne Collins. Yikes. Susanne Collins creates a horrific setting when the characters get thrown into the arena. This is not somewhere I'd like to be, but it sure sticks in my mind.
3. The Dells from
Fire by Kristin Cashore. The gorgeous rolling hills and colorful monsters make an impression of a beautiful but scary place.
4. Mississippi (1962) from
The Help by Kathryn Stockett. It's not so much the place but the attitudes of the people who lived there and the world they created.
5. Siberia from
Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys. Lina and her family were always cold and hungry in this desolute work camp they were sent to as they waited out the WWII.
6. Elizabethan London from
Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness. I loved as hearing about Old time London and Matthew and Diana's adventures there.
7. Gatlin from
Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. The setting is definitely southern with some magical elements thrown in.
8. Paris (past and present) from
Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly. I love the contrast of the present Paris to the past Paris as Andi journeys through the catacombs.
9. Fourteenth-century Italy from
Waterfall by Lisa T. Bergren. As Belle would say "far of places and daring sword fights."
10. Paris 1942/Paris 2002 from
Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay. I can't really describe this one but it is definitely a must read.
YES! I loved reading about Gaitlin and could picture Macon's home and all.
ReplyDeleteI also had Hogwarts in the top spot on my list!

I love that you put pictures of all the places, not pictures of the books. Very creative!
ReplyDeletePictures of the settings is such a great idea! I'm reading A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness now and am looking forward to reading Shadow of Night. I really enjoyed your list!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos. :) This really makes me want to read Revolution and Beautiful Creatures! Totally agree on the Harry Potter world, The Help, and Between Shades of Gray. Great list!
