I believe we had this topic for a previous WWBC post, and my answers are probably going to be pretty similar this time around.
The Star Trek universe is somewhere I’d love to live because of how many current social problems are rarely if ever an issue there due to the existence of replicators, advanced medical treatments, and other cool technological and social advancements.
I’ve love to visit the woods between worlds from The Magician’s Nephew, the sixth book in the Chronicles of Narnia series. Little Lydia was annoyed that we only got to see a couple of the worlds that could be visited through that in-between place. There were so many other ponds to explore.
Becky Chambers’ Monk and Robot duology has another peaceful setting I’d love to explore. I could be quite happy living in harmony with nature if I picked the right community to visit there. Their methods of ensuring that work got done appealed to me, too, because of how customizable it was and how forgiving it was for people who are disabled or more talented at some skills than at others. You do just about anything useful for a community: growing food crops, washing dishes, providing medical care, fixing bicycles or other machines, caring for children or adults who needed it, teaching kids how to read, etc. There weren’t any judgements about who did what. It was all appreciated which is quite refreshing when compared to how certain types of work are over or undervalued in modern society in my experience.
How about all of you?
My bookish wishes are as follows:
Honestly, I’m a little picky about how blurbs and the first few pages of a tale are written and what is or isn’t included in them, but book covers themselves aren’t as important to me. There are many different styles I like or even love and only a few that would deter me from giving something a try.
This week’s list was much easier to come up with than the prompt from last month that asked us to list characters we want to meet.
Here are some characters I’d like to meet.
Occasionally, new books are released that are written in the form of poetry. That is to say, the entire story is told through one poem (or, more often, many different poems) that push the character and plot development forward.
A Man Called Ove 
Here are some fictional worlds I would not like to visit due to how dangerous they are:
1. Quiet Reading and Writing Time
My vivid imagination sometimes spills over into the dream world, and with this freebie post I finally get to talk about them today. Here are several books I’ve had dreams about over the years.
