10 Worlds I'd Never Want to Occupy or Characters I'd Never Want To Be

Hello Lovelies! As always TTT is hosted by The Broke and The Bookish. This week's topic is centered around universes and people we would NEVER want to be a part of.

1. The Maze Runner universe

You all know I thought those books were crap. And the universe would be horrible for me. First of all, I'm a lady so I'd probably die immediately from something stupid. Secondly, the first part of the universe is just a huge maze, and I would not want to run that maze, no thank you! Third, the universe is so badly built I'd probably find a plot hole and fall to my death.

 2. The Book Thief universe

Okay, yeah I get that this is actually our own universe just several decades ago, but I don't want to live then! Nazi Germany and losing like all the people you love to war, no thank you!


3. New World (from Chaos Walking)

Having to hear every dude's thoughts all the time--eck! That sounds terrible. Like I can imagine everything that they would say already (since that's about 90% of the media as it is)


4. Matched universe

To be fair, I only read the first book in this trilogy, but the idea that you have to listen to what a committee tells you on who you're supposed to love? Blech. The fun part about love is that you can love a lot of people in one life and you can meet people and love more than one person. Like ughhh. I'd rather lie down and not move again.


5. Uglies universe

I'm on book three of this quartet, and I find the whole universe pretty awful (haha punny). It's boring to have everyone be "perfect." But I will admit that it would be really fun to be able to change your appearance more or less at will (my preference would be the HP universe version--hell yeah metamorphmaguses, magi?).

6. I would never want to be Clay from Thirteen Reasons Why

It's bad enough when someone close to you kills themselves, but it's even worse when they then explain to you why from beyond the grave.


7. Divergent universe

For spoilerific reasons. But if you really want to know ask me and I'll tell you exactly why, ugh.


8. I would never want to be Lolita 

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW


9. Beautiful Creatures universe

Like I'm cool with lots of magic and stuff, but a birthday countdown ending on having to decide what you want to be for the very rest of your life? WHY CAN'T I BE BOTH??

10. I would never want to be Charlie from Perks of Being a Wallflower

Like he has a pretty shitty life. Poor kid.

What would be on your list??? Honestly, I saw a lot of Hunger Games, and like, maybe I'm crazy, but I would totally be down for that. I'm a big fan of revolutions though.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll  is a very entertaining classic. I think everyone knows the story of young Alice who follows a White Rabbit into the world of Wonderland where everything is just slightly (or significantly) strange. For some reason, every time I've picked up Alice's Adventures before, I've put it down without making it more than 10 pages or so. But this time, I managed to finish it. It's a quirky sort of book, but I enjoyed it. It did make me think of The Phantom Tollbooth (here's my review of that classic), but I preferred Carroll's novel to Juster's. There's some great play on words and delightful misunderstandings because of homophones and characters not paying attention to each other. I think this is a worthwhile classic, but I don't actually have that much to say about it. Middle Grade March Count: 5

TBT: The Witch of Blackbird Pond

In middle school, I was a member of this reading club where we had a set of books to read as a team, and then we did like little quizzes on them against other teams. (SUPER NERD!). And now, I'm not entirely certain, but I feel pretty sure that club was where I read this book for the first time. The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare is a Newbery award winning historical fiction novel. Orphan Kit Tyler has been moved from her home in the Caribbean to her puritan relative's home in Connecticut.  She feels like she has nothing in common with these relatives, but she does form an attachment with an old Quaker woman and a young sailor, Nat. Of course breaking out of the mold is not without its price, and Kit learns this for herself when she is accused of witchcraft. This is one of those books that I think about constantly. I haven't reread it in several years, but I always want to. I recommend it frequently to other. This is a book for readers...
