Courtney (toothpickpiggy) | 165 comments I always think about this after I read a new fantasy or paranormal series and thought I'd open up a discussion about it:)

If you were to live in one world from any book (fantasy/YA/Dystopian ETC), which would it be? And would you be a specific character or just yourself in that world?

It's a tough one I know! So I'll get the ball rolling.

Besides the obvious one being Harry Potter (because who wouldn't want to live in Hogwarts!). I think I would have an awesome time being Gabriella in the River of Times Series!

Waterfall Cascade Torrent

I mean COME ON!! What girl wouldn't wanna go back in time to 14th Century Italy, met her night and Shiny Armor, wear beautiful gowns to balls (dancing) battle some enemies, become the "She-Wolves" (As they call it) and everyone love and adore you, and on top of all that!! Fall in love with a Prince (soon to be king and one of the Nine)AND THEN you sister fall in love with his cousin/best friend!!!!!

If not that world i would wanna live in this book! ------> Obsidian and the rest of the series!! Your neighbor is a Lux Alien (A HOT HOT HOT SEXY HOT BEAUTIFUL GUY WITH GORGOUSE EYES AND did i mention how hot he is?) and you somehow ended up with his Mojo Alien Powers!!

Yep those would be the books i would wanna live in! (Well for now, who knows what books ill fall in love with in a few months!)

Anyways!!
So what book would you wanna live in and why!!??

Lauren (originally_elle) Id love to live in the world of Vampire Academy! Id obviously be a kick ass dhampir...

or I think Id really enjoy being a part of the Iron Fey world from Julie Kagawa's series. I love the world of Faerie that she created & the characters within. And of course Puck would fall madly in love with me :)

Sofía (sopapa) Definitely not Panem. I'd like to live in Harry Potter's or TMI's world.

message 9: by [deleted user] (new)

Hmm…I don't know. That's a tough question because I'd rather live in the stories I make, not really the stories others make.

message 21: by Heather (new)

Heather (hersecretsmile) | 49 comments The world of Harry Potter has always been number one for me.

I think it'd also be interesting to live in the Gone series, as well as many different historical fiction stories.


 ♫ Maryam ♫ (goodreadsmaryam) | 16 comments Harry Potter (Magical World)
The Shire
Narnia (Before the Witch's time)
Percy Jackson (Camp Half Blood)
The Mortal Instruments (Shadowhunter world)
And I know this sounds weird but Delirium ....


message 23: by Riya (new)

Riya Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, The Night Circus, and SO many more :D


message 24: by Theo (new)

Theo (turrsaturrsa) The Shire!


message 25: by Tracy (new)

Tracy | 97 comments This is a tough one, because I've read so many books with worlds I would never even send my own enemies to!! lol I read to "escape", to experience something without REALLY experiencing it. But if I HAD to choose somewhere to live (and I realize this post isn't about HAVING to choose), I'd probably pick something like Shadow Falls,(camp with teens with unique abilities/identities).


message 26: by Lilac , Moderator (new)

Lilac  (lilac_wales) | 434 comments Mod
Hogwarts and the rest of the wizarding world, 100%!

Delirium- that's a pretty inetresting choice! Would you rebel?


message 29: by Landree (new)

Landree Rennpage | 14 comments Star Wars (more fantastical space opera than pure science fiction). I'd love to be a Jedi Knight.

Harry Potter. Think I'd make a good prof at Hogwarts.

The southern haunts in the Beautiful Creatures saga, especially that kick-ass library!

Narnia most definitely, and when it is winter with Christmas!

The Shadowhunter world, but back in Will and Tessa's time. I so love steampunk worlds!

The Buffy world, and I think I would want Spike's spaceship from seasons 8 and 9. Bug minions all the way!

Harry Dresden's Paranormal Chicago.

Tanya Huff's Blood Ties world in Canada.

I'm sure there are others but are not coming to mind at the moment. No glittery vampires!


message 30: by J. (new)

J. Hardin (jwesthardin) | 9 comments Earth.....love it here. Every day is giant leap of faith.


message 31: by Kelli (new)

Kelli (dolphinie13) | 24 comments I like this idea!! I'd love to live in the following:

1. Harry Potter world (I'd be an awesomely talented witch)
2. Wheel of Time world (I would of course be an Aes Sedai)
3. Poison Study world (I'd live in the south, duh)
4. X-Men world (because I'd be a mutant with awesome power to start and stop time at will)
5. Mistborn world (I'd definitely be a mistoborn allomancer)
6. Kim Harrison's Hallows world (I'd be a strong ley line witch)

I, surprisingly, wouldn't want to be a vampire - even though I love vampire novels. I'd much rather have magical powers of some sort.


message 32: by Courtney (new)

Courtney (toothpickpiggy) | 165 comments Alright im changing my answer!!!!! I've been reading TMI the past day and im almost throug it. But omg I LOVE THIS BOOK!!! So i change my mind i would wanna live in TMI world! :)


message 33: by Az (أسماء) (new)

Az (أسماء) | 348 comments Hogwarts that's for sure! Then The Seven Realms! Oh oh The Graceling Realm!!! And maybe 1984 to help them defeat Big Brother!

And last but not least; Naruto's world! (It's a manga/anime) but I love it!


message 34: by Holly (new)

Holly  (skizzles22hju) | 11 comments Harry Potter, obviously. And the Shadowhunter world, but I'd rather go back in time with The Infernal Devices. :)


message 35: by Diana (new)

Diana (thenameisdia) | 8 comments I'd want to experience living in the Capitol, Panem from the Hunger Games series. I know the whole point is to discourage readers from wanting to live in such an empty and mindless society, but it would be fun for like a week, right? The fashion and technology is to die for!
