Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday! Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week bloggers post a top ten list related to a specific theme. This week's theme is Top Ten Worlds I Would Never Want To Live In. All links lead to GoodReads.
* I am only referring to the first book in series, because sometimes the world got a bit better.*
1. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
I don't want to live in a world where I might have to be placed in a dome and kill kids.
2. Divergent by Veronica Roth
I don't want to live in a world where I am defined by one trait.
3. The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken
Nobody is happy in this world, the kids or the adults. Fear has set in.
4. World War Z by Max Brooks
Zombies scare me more than anything. I don't want to live in the zombie apocalypse.
5. Feed by Mira Grant
I don't want to live in the aftermath of the zombie apocalypse.
6. Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
I don't want to live in a world where vampires sparkle.
7. Dracula by Bram Stoker
I don't want to live in a world with traditional vampires either.
8. Goosebumps by RL Stine
The world of Goosebumps is scary, dangerous, and horrific. I wouldn't want to live in any book in this series.
9. 1984 by George Orwell
This is another dystopian world that is pretty awful, if you don't play by the rules.
10. Game of Thrones by GRR Martin
In the game of thrones, you win or you die. If you are a peasant in this world, you just die.

LOL @ Twilight comment. I do love Edward. Great list.
Check out our TTT of this week.
Leydy @ OUaT & Redcarpetendings
Ha, I love your list this week Pamela. I have Bella and Katniss on my list for those that I wouldn't want to trade places with.
Hahaha I don't want to live with sparkly vampires either :) also hilarious comment about game of thrones -- so true!
How could I forget The Hunger Games??? Great choices. :)
What a great post :) I couldn't think of anything to join in this week, yet while reading yours I agreed with every single one!!
Chanzie @ Mean Who You Are.
The first two made my list, too. Game of Thrones doesn't sound like a nice place to be either.

Nice picks! My mom wouldn't let me read Goosebumps when I was young because she thought I'd get too scared. I wore her down and read my first one, and was totally freaked out! Mom was right and, no, not even as an adult do I want to live in this world.
i laughed out loud at 'i don't want to live in a world where vampires sparkle.' amen to that :)
Good choices! I'm not real fond of zombies myself, actually. And yeah to Game of Thrones- good grief would there be anything worse than being a peasant in that world?? :)
great list, I think my favorite bit about it is your reasons for Twilight 'I don't want to live in a world where vampires sparkle.' haha Its very true
My TTT
I agree 100% with #1,2,and 4. Those are the worse. Have you read Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler. Here world is here in the future and its awful and so realistic. Great picks!
Those are some awesome picks! I don't think I would have want to live there too, good reasons!
Hope you can stop by my Top Ten
xoxo
Great list!
"I don't want to live in a world where vampires sparkle." PREACH IT!
"If you are a peasant in this world, you just die." Or a Stark :D
As for ASoIaF, I'd like to live there, I think. :D
Happy reading!
I AM BACK~ *cackles madly* It was the AVAST!! In other news yeah I've only read 4 of these - but also not worlds I would want to live in.
Ha! I never thought of Goosebumps for a challenge like this, but you're totally right! That world was terrifying!
(My TTT: http://mgbookreviews.wordpress.com/2014/01/27/top-ten-tuesdays-worlds-id-never-want-to-live-in/)
Love your list! I wouldn't want to live in worlds like Twilight, Game of Thrones, Goosebumps or The Darkest Minds either :)
LOl, Goosebumps! I wouldn't have thought of that but it's so true....any world where dummies, disembodied hands or monster hamsters are a reality is just not worth it.
I noticed a lot of Katnisses in this week's TTT. No one wants to live in Panem!
Westeros is not a good place to live!
There are so many horrible places in fiction, I can see how you can forget about Panem. :)
The TTT can be really hard sometimes. I look forward to your next TTT!
Westeros is definitely not a good place to live!
LOL. Mom is always right! :)
Am I right? Nobody wants to hang out with sparkly vampires.
I think Westeros may actually be worse than Panem.
Sparkly vampires are definitely a no no. :)
I haven't read Parable of the Sower. I will have to check it out. Thanks for the recommendation.
I am glad that you enjoyed it. :)
The Darkest Minds is soooooo good! Enjoy! :)
I am glad that you liked my choices. :)
You are braver than I am, if you want to live in Westeros!
I am so excited you figured out the problem! Avast is very picky about social media.
As long as there is heat and coffee I will live anywhere..but expect me to be living out on my own away from civilization..perhaps in an abandon library..LOL
My friend and I did a marathon of the Goosebumps show a few months ago, and it reminded me of how crazy that universe is!
These are some pretty awful places to live!
Exactly! I don't want to live in a world where dummies are alive!
An abandoned library sounds great. Just make sure that you have a second pair of your glasses, if you don't have perfect vision. You don't want to be like that guy in the Twilight Zone episode.
EEK!!! World War Z... absolutely. I hate zombies. Oh, so of course Feed is awful as well! Haha... Twilight makes me laugh lol. The world of Goosebumps is awful! You had some great, unique choices... I would never have though to pick Goosebumps!!
HAHAHAHA TWILIGHT!
omg that's hilarious. so true though. SO TRUE.
And I actually haven't read the book, but I have seen the movie and World War Z would be a terrible world to live in- the zombies were so fast in the movie D: Freaking scary!
I watched the Goosebumps show recently with a friend, so the series was fresh in my head. :) I am glad that you liked my picks! :)
Zombies are my worst fear, because in zombie books/movies, a cure is never discovered. The zombies always win.
Great list, Pamela! As much as I love reading, and immersing me in those world for the time the story lasts (and sometimes a little bit longer) I don't think there is any worlds I'd actually want to live in. I love my own world just the way it is :)
Lexxie @ (un)Conventional Bookviews
I love your list! I don't want to live in a world where vampires sparkle either, or where Bella exists! I also picked Divergent & The Hunger Games for obvious reasons. Great picks & thanks for stopping by my post :)
These are some pretty awful worlds!
Thanks for stopping by mine too! Bella is totally annoying. :)
I think the sparkly vampires is the scariest of the lot :)
I completely agree with you! :)
