Series I Need To Finish (or just continue reading already) [#Top5Wednesday]

As time goes by, we keep starting more and more book series, making it hard to finish them all. With time, I started many series that I didn't finish yet, and these are the Top 5 that I need to finish.

Books I Want to See as TV Shows [#Top5Wednesday]

It's Wednesday and today I'm answering a Top 5 Wednesday from the T5W GoodReads group. I don't know if I'l be posting all the lists, but I liked this one and decided to do it. As you'll notice, many of them are underrated books that many people just don't know about. They're awesome books and I think they would be great on screen.

Liebermann Papers, by Frank Tallis

A great mystery series that takes place in old Vienna. The protagonist is a doctor and also some kind of disciple of Freud. Filled with music, investigation focused on psychological analysis and an incredible setting, it would be amazing to see Max Liebermann in a TV series. Link

Perry Rhodan, by various authors

I just LOVE this book series. I'm not reading it now because I have them in Portuguese, and now I'm focusing on improving my English. But this is like the Doctor Who of sci-fi literature, because while Doctor Who is the longest running sci-fi TV show, Perry Rhodan is the longest running book series ever. Being published weekly since 1961 it now has more than 2800 editions, each one with 60 pages, give or take. And it doesn't show signs of stopping, so there'll be unlimited stories to be told on the small screen. Link

The Grimnoir Chronicles, by Larry Correia

I'm reading the first book in the series, and I've already posted my first impressions here. It'll probably be something like a mix of Agent Carter and Agents of Shield (?) I guess. Link

The Secret Life Of Laszlo, Count Dracula, by Roderick Anscombe

This book is SO GOOD and so underrated. A book about Dracula when he's still human, but developing his desire/fetish for blood. It would be amazing as a series, because this story needs a lot of screen time to happen properly. Link

Dragonriders of Pern, by Anne McCaffrey and Todd McCaffrey

This one will be difficult to have as a series. If you think that the Game of Thrones dragons are expensive, imagine a series where the main characters ride dragons, and the dragons are important characters as well. It'll be a freaking expensive TV series, but one can dream, right? Link

Fictional worlds I wish I could live in [Top 5 Wednesday]

As we get older, we start having a long list of fictional worlds and places that we visited during our readings or the things we watched. Worlds filled with magic, hidden treasures, aliens, monsters, anthropomorphic characters, time-travel and alternate versions of our beloved Earth. They all fascinate us, making we want to go there, participate in the adventures, help with the quests and, of course, see all that beautiful landscapes in front of our very eyes.

Listed below, are the top 5 fictional worlds from books and TV series that I wish I could live or visit, in no particular order.

Harry Potter (Hogwarts)

It's Harry 'Freaking' Potter world, so what can I say more about this? Of course, I don't want to be killed by that guy which everyone doesn't seem to like his name and neither do I want to be a muggle. I want to go to Hogwarts learn how to do magic, fly on a broom and go to Hogsmeade during the weekends (or when I'm skipping classes).

Middle-Earth (The Shire)

Just because it's beautiful and peaceful, at least when there isn't an ongoing world war, caused by a giant flaming eye that wants a beautiful ring collection. I want to have an enormous library and read them quietly while sitting in a hobbit-sized armchair, in a house with a round door.

The fairy tale realm in Once Upon a Time

Like The Shire, it seems a nice place to live or travel to when there isn't an evil queen killing everyone. All the main fairy tale characters live there, and if you consider that in the series you can travel between realms (from Snow White-land to Neverland and to Real World), looks like an exciting choice.

The Doctor Who world

A world where time-travel is possible and you could possibly be a Doctor companion? I can't see why not living in this world. Besides the Daleks, Cybermen, and a ton of others races that want to exterminate (or delete/upgrade) the entire human race. But at least we got the Paternoster Gang!

Grimm (TV series)

Ok, you can be a Grimm and see all that strange creatures that jumped out of children's books, OR you can be a werewolf-ish creature that starts dating a gorgeous foxy lady (literally). Just got to remember to try to be friends with the Grimm guys or you can lose your head (again, literally).

And you? Which fictional worlds to you wish to live in?
