This week’s topic is-

Top Ten Books I Would Like to See Made Into a Movie or TV Show

Hmmm, a strange topic for me, since I usually cringe a little no matter how well the adaptation was.

(yes, even the Harry Potter series-they definitely left stuff out!)

Anyway, in a perfect world, where I had all the power, these are the books I wish would be made into a movie (that haven’t been already)

1.  The Shadow of the Wind – I would love to see a really great trilogy here-I can already see the Cemetery of Forgotten Books in my mind!

2.  The Paris Wife– Paris in the 1920’s, a young, handsome Hemingway, jazz-oh, yeah.

3.  The Supremes at Earl’s All You Can Eat (TV Show)-Please make this a TV show- I never watch TV anymore.

4.  The Sandcastle Girls-with someone really hot to play Armen-I see Javier Bardem?

5.  The Silmarillion (TV Show)- anyone who has read this knows how epic and sweeping it is-each chapter could be a whole season.

6.  The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society (TV Show)-I loved these characters so much-maybe HBO could do it justice?

7.  Bel Canto– I know the real gem here was the lyrical prose, but I think it is also a bit of a love story at heart, and who doesn’t love a love story that ends tragically?

8.  The Last Letter From your Lover-again-forbidden love, amnesia, plus I would love to see the Jennifer’s life of privilege- I think this has been optioned to be made into a film!

9.  The Bones of Paris– murder, mystery, Paris in the 1920’s again

10.  The Double Bind- one of the best endings ever!

(seems like I have a thing for the Roaring 20’s-no?)
