Top 5 Wednesday: Settings You Want To See More Of

Hello Fellow Readers :)

I hope everyone's having a great week so far, and I'm excited to be back here today with another Top 5 Wednesday Post.

Top 5 Wednesday is a weekly meme that was created by Lainey from gingerreadslainey on YouTube, and is now moderated by Sam from Thoughts on Tomes,who's also from YouTube. The group communicates through goodreads, and here's the link to the page if you're interested in learning more about it:

This week's topic is a fun one, as it is Settings You Want To See More Of, and let me tell you there's many settings and places I would love to see more of from my favorite books, and I'm excited to share those with you today.

1) Narnia from The Chronicles Of Narnia by C.S. Lewis:

The Narnia books were one of my first experiences with falling head over heels for a series, and part of that love was definitely the setting. Who wouldn't want there to be a magical world that can be accessed through a wardrobe, and I would honestly love to see another series set in Narnia again. I know this is highly unlikely, but that doesn't meant I still don't want to see it.




2) Dystopian Regency Era

This may be a bit of an odd choice, but I really loved the setting Lia Habel used for her Gone With The Respiration duology. It's set in the year 2195, but the world has returned to the regency times, and it's simply called "New Victoria." I thought this was such a unique take on both a regency era setting, and a dystopian setting, and I would love to see more books like this in the future.


3) Time Travel

I love the fact that there has been so many more YA time travel books lately, as I think it's such an awesome setting for a novel, but I would honestly love to see even more. I love how with time travel books generally there is many different settings employed throughout the one novel, and I love the chance to get to explore multiple setting throughout one great story.


4) The West

I often really enjoy books that are set in the west, or the prairies/frontier, and while I've read many adult books that have this setting, I noticed that there doesn't seem to be a lot of YA books with this particular setting. I've heard that Rae Carson's Walk On Earth A Stranger has this type of setting, and so I'm really excited to read that one. I would still love to see more books set in the west in the future though, and hopefully this will happen.


5) New York At Christmas

My final pick is a pretty specific one, and that is New York at Christmas. Everyone who knows me knows that I'm obsessed with Christmas books in general, and there's always something so special about Christmas books that are set in beautiful New York City. In particular, I'd love to see some YA contemporaries with this setting, and I can guarantee those would be my perfect kind of read.



That's it for my picks for this week. I'd love to hear what all you guys chose, if you took part in this week's topic. :)

Thanks for reading everyone, and I'll see you all in my next post.

  1. As a fan of both Doctor Who and Back to the Future, time-travel is awesome (Though I couldn't finish Passenger), so it would be great to read more time-travel books. Here's my list http://thebookprophet.weebly.com/home/top-5-wednesday-settings-you-want-to-see-more-of

    1. I'm always excited to meet a fellow time travel fan :) I haven't personally read Passenger yet, but now you have me curious, was there something in particular you didn't like about it? Thanks so much for reading my post this week!

  2. Time travel is a good one, wish I thought of it. I put the West on mine too.

  3. I love time travel books, and that was honestly the first one that came to my mind when I saw this week's topic. Yay for you choosing the west as well, have you read Walk On Earth A Stranger Yet? I've heard it's really good, but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet. Thanks so much for commenting!

Announcing My Temporary Hiatus From Book Blogging

  Hello all my sweet bookish lovelies :) I pray you all had a lovely Christmas, and are looking forward to having a wonderful New Year's as well. I've shared a little bit of info over the past few months on my blog about why I wasn't around as often, but now it's time to share with you all exactly what that is. My hubby and I found out we were expecting earlier this year, and we had the immense pleasure of welcoming our precious baby boy into the world this month. Because of this, I've decided to take a temporary step back from book blogging and reviewing, while I adjust to being a first time mom to a newborn. I will definitely be back blogging in some form or another, but not sure at this point exactly when that will be as my little man deserves all of his mommy's attention right now. I thank you guys all for being a part of another wonderful year here on The Preppy Book Princess, and I look forward to jumping back into the Christian book community sometime in ...

A Refuge in Montana by Allie Pleiter Review

  Happy Monday My Sweet Bookish Friends :) It's been awhile, how have you all been doing? Originally, I had hoped to be back doing at least semi regular book reviews by now, and since I had an author offer me an ARC copy right around when I wanted to start trying again, I figured I'd give it a go. Unfortunately, I've been dealing with some health complications post partum (which I really don't want to go into at the moment), and my energy is just not where it needs to be at this point. I'm excited to get to share this review with you all as I did enjoy the title and would love to tell you more about it, but this will be my only review for awhile, at least until we can get everything figured out with my health. With that being said, let's dive right into today's review, but first if you'd like to check out my reviews of the previous titles in the series, you can do so using the links below: Rescue on the Farm A Montana Sized Secret Otherwise, keep on read...

First Line Friday: The Joy of Falling

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and that you've had time to curl up with some great books. This week, Lindsay Harrel's newest book released, and I loved it when I had the chance to read and review it. I'm excited to feature it for this week's First Line Friday post which is hosted by the lovely ladies over at Hoarding Books. The Joy of Falling by Lindsay Harrel: About The Book: Eva and Angela must learn to live again. One step at a time. It has been fifteen months since Eva and Angela lost their thrill-seeking husbands in a scuba diving accident. Both women are trying to navigate their way through the grief, but neither one is making much progress. Angela is barely making ends meet, angry at her husband for leaving her to raise three children on her own. Meanwhile, Eva is stuck, unable to move forward after losing the love of her life and her source of inspiration. But then Eva gets a life-changing phone call. Befor...
