Top Ten Tuesday: 7/24/12 - Top Ten Most Vivid Worlds/Settings In Books


Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. This meme was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!

Each week we will post a new Top Ten list complete with one of our bloggers’ answers. Everyone is welcome to join. All we ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND post a comment on our post with a link to your Top Ten Tuesday post to share with us and all those who are participating. If you don't have a blog, just post your answers as a comment.

    These are all good lists! Tammy, you and I share several favorites (like Wonderful Wizard of Oz and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) that I haven't seen on many other lists. It seems many of us agree on Harry Potter.
