We're Doing the Book Blogger Hop

-
It's Friday and that means Book Blogger Hop Time :)

Today's Question Is :
"What book-to-movie adaption have you most liked? Which have you disliked?"

Today's Answer :
For me, I have always tried to be a read the book before the film type of girl and most of the time I have loved the Movie Adaptions :) . One that I have to say I enjoyed even more than the book was The Secret Life of Bees - for some reason , I could not get into the book by Sue Monk Kidd but I watched the film and loved it soooo much ,that I ended up buying it for my personal DVD Collection after I had watched the DVD elsewhere. The other Books to Film adaptions is the 2 Christian Series that they ended up making films/TV Series from is Christy by Catherine Marshall and The Love Comes Softly Series by Jannette Oke which again I own.
Recently however, I watched the movie Beastly and I thought It was a good movie but they could have done alot better as the book is one of my all-time favourites.
Another one which I could not finish the book but loved the movie was I am Number Four and then in reverse , the one Book that I enjoyed way better than the film was The Life and Death of Charlie St. Cloud , I really enjoyed the book by Ben Sherwood as I found the movie a tad weak in spots.

    I really liked the movie The Secret Life of Bees too. I thought Queen Latifah was wonderful in it.

    Hi there, I'm hopping by from last week's Hop. Thanks for sharing these thoughts, they were great. I saw the movies of Love Comes Softly, but honestly, not books I would ever read. I would like to see Beastly and I am Number Four. I'll skip Charlie St. Cloud.

    I'm doing some last minute hopping. I did not like I am Number Four to much. I thought that if you hadn't read the book the movie wouldn't have made much sense. But that's me. I enjoyed Beastly but was sad tht they changed some things.

    I'm really interested in SEEING The Secret Life of Bees and maybe not reading the book, although, I, like you, like to read the book first!

    Love the purple!

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
