10. 9. 7. 6. The world in this book is beautifully and intelligently constructed and a brilliant subversion of our Western society. Love this book. I adore the world in the 'Chaos Walking' trilogy by Patrick Ness. It is very different and unique, and is very connected to nature...in an 'Avatar' kinda way! As a woman, I would lie to live in this world as women's thoughts can't be read...lucky. 3.
Description Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Every week a different topic comes up and bloggers list their top ten books in that category. I love a good list...I've always said that. That's practically my catchphrase.
Top Ten Most Vivid Worlds/Settings In Books!
This was the first world I think I truly believed in: the world of The Giants in 'The BFG'. I was terrified that I would get eaten at Witching Hour and their giant sausage fingers would come in through my window...uggghhhghghg.

This is a book I am reading at the moment and I absolutely love the world being built so far! There is magic and geisha's and all wonderful things- I have been completely drawn in!

Title: Divergent Author: Veronica Roth 
I love the world building in 'Divergent' because it is so organised and intense! I love the factions and the way different people are sorted into them. Awesome world...but I'm not sure I'd actually want to live there! 
This series currently spans over 40 books so I'm thinking it must be one of the most established and detailed worlds out there! I love Discworld and how scientifically laid out it is. A world on a giant turtle's back is one I want to live on for sure.

Title: The Hunger Games Author: Suzanne Collins 
The world building in 'The Hunger Games' was a slow burner for me: I didn't quite get it at first but it really grew on me and then I found it hard to forget! Again, one that is built well but I would hate to actually have to experience it. 4.
Title: The Knife of Never Letting Go
Author: Patrick Ness 
I love Basin City because it is so dark and filthy and corrupt and 'film noir'. I love the dialogue, I love the characters I LOVE IT ALL.
2.
Title: Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell Author: Susanna Clarke 
This world made it into my list because it is so intricately woven. Over 900 pages of subtle, beautiful world building and fantasy and magic- all things that are good for you.
1.
Title: Harry Potter Series Author: J.K Rowling 
I don't really see how any other books could have topped this list. Isn't Hogwarts/the world of magic just the epitome of intricate world building? No world will ever make me long to be there as much as the one Harry + sidekicks inhabit. Lets just hope J.K's upcoming novel is just as awesome! Those are my picks this week- let me know if you agree/what your choices are!
