Top Ten Tuesday " Books we want to see as Films "

-
Today's Top Ten is Books we want to see as Films and Pray thy directors don't butcher them LOL :)

  1. Promise Me - Richard Paul Evans - This book is a mix between Time Traveller's wife and The Lake House starring Keanu Reeves
  2. The Sweet By and By - Sara Evans and Rachel Hauck. - I can totally see Drew Barrymore in this film.
  3. The Hate List - Jennifer Brown. - This could go two ways and be made like a documentary.
  4. XVI - Julia Karr - This would be like a modern teen version of Margaret Atwood's The Hamdmaids Tale.
  5. The Unidentifed - Rae Mariz - Another great dystopian novel , that seems a bit like Gossip Girl but in a new world society.
  6. The Goddess Summoning Series - PC Cast - A fun modern world meets mythological times.
  7. Chelsea Cain's Archie and Gretchen Series (4 Books) - Just to see how well the mystery and pyschological aspect of the book plays out and oh to see Susan's funky hair colours on the screen.
  8. The Reluctant Prophet - Nancy Rue= This would be a fun christian film to watch as it would be The Redemption of Sarah Cain crossed with The Ultimate Gift.
  9. Married with Zombies - Jesse Peterson - It looks like a fun romantic comedy with Zombies. Zombieland crossed with He's just not that into you.
  10. The Gifted Sophomores - Terri Blackstock - Again , this would make an amazing Christian Teen Movie.

    I like your list, and I love that you also "see" certain people play certain characters :)

    I haven't read any of these books, but Promise Me sounds very "promising!" I recently watched The Time Traveler's Wife, so I could go with seeing something like it :)

    I'd like to see the first Gretchen novel made into a movie. It'd be different from the usual cop/serial killer movies

    XVI would really make an exciting movies, and while I have yet to read The Hater's List I think from what I have heard it too would be ripe for a movie too.

    I hope, hope, hope that no one I know ends up married to a vampire or a zombie. It's hard enough to be married to a human male.

    Here's my post for today's Top Ten Tuesday.

    Looks like I have some reading to do, most of these I'm unfamiliar with. I would love to see the Shannara series by Terry Brooks made into a movie/movies. I heard a rumor it might be in the works but that was a long time ago. Haven't heard anything since :(

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
