Wonderland! I was going to put that on my list but then i got distracted by other worlds. There are so many great, vivid settings out there.
Ooh I didn’t even think about Portland/Delirium but totally! And I got totally sucked into Panem. I think that’s really what made The Hunger Games so great for me!
I love your list – it shares a lot of similarities with mine, but it’s unique and wonderful too! 😀

I should have put Wonderland on my list! Westeros/Estos would be there, too, except I’ve only seen the show… le sigh.
Oh, I really like your choices! I have several of these on my list as well, but all of your picks are awesome. Great list. 🙂
I love your list. We share a few of the same picks… I couldn’t resist putting Narnia or Wonderland. They are just such great places!
