Friday Favourites – Movie or TV Adaptations

This is hosted by Something of the Book who created this tag out of a love for lists. There are different topics for us all to be able to take part and you can find the prompts here.

There isn’t a specific number of favourites so it’s entirely up to you how many you share. You can share your most or least favourites too!

For this post I thought I would share books that I would love to see being made into a film or tv show and ones that I am looking forward to seeing that are already being made!

I am always nervous about seeing my favourite shows be adapted as it can go really well or horribly wrong! But if I didn’t need to worry about that then these are the ones I would love to see!

1 Red Rising – Can we please make this into a tv show already?! It could be so epic!

2 The City of Brass – As long as they cast Alizayd properly I would fangirl so hard if this was made into a tv show. PoC and Muslim characters in a fantasy world, on tv? It would be amazing!

3 Ayesha at Last – Pride and Prejudice with Muslim characters that I already need to see made into a film. I need all the witty banter and the second hand embarrassment!

4 This Savage Song – I adore this duology and it would be pretty cool to see this as a film or tv show

5 Illuminae – Another book that would make an epic show!

6 Percy Jackson – Lets just pretend that the films don’t exist and make a great tv show from these books instead.

These adaptations are already being produced and I am hoping that they do the books justice!

1 His Dark Materials – The film was…not great…but I have high hopes for the show being produced!

2 Grishaverse – I am hoping that as Leigh Bardugo herself is part of the team that this amazing universe will be treated with the justice it deserves!

3 Artemis Fowl – Disney have made this into a film and I’m quite nervous about it as just from the trailers I can see they’ve changed things. I just hope it’s a good film.

So there you have it! What books would you want made into tv shows or films?

Top 5 Wednesdays – Nostalgic Ships

Hey booknerds! It’s another Top 5 Wednesday post! This is hosted by Sam over on Thoughts on Tomes where you share you top 5 for the chosen topic for that week. You can check out each weeks topic over on Goodreads.

This weeks topic is nostalgic ships. Couples that you loved when you were younger.

Okay so a lot of my ships will be from films as most of the books I read when I was younger didn’t really have ships. But these are my favourites because I was totally rooting for them and found them adorable!

1 Ron and Hermione – Romione forever! I have loved these two since I first read about them and loved seeing their relationship develop throughout the books!

2 Anastasia and Dimitri – this was one of my favourite childhood films and these two are just amazing! Anastasia is sassy and fierce and I love how Dimitri develops throughout the film.

3 Elizabeth and Darcy – Pride and Prejudice is my absolute favourite classic and I adore these two! From the socially awkward Darcy to outspoken and confident Lizzie.

4 Lyra Belaqua and Will Parry – I loved these two in the His Dark Materials trilogy and how much they sacrificed, even having to spend their lives separately for the greater good.

5 Thomas O’Malley and Duchess – I know, I know, they’re cats but common! Artistocats is one of my favourite Disney films. You have love how much effort Thomas goes into impressing Duchess and how well he looks after her kids.

So these were my favourite ships when I was younger!

Do comment and tell me which couples you loved when you were younger!

Top 5 Wednesday – Road Trip Books

Hey booknerds! It’s another Top 5 Wednesday post! This is hosted by Sam over on Thoughts on Tomes where you share you top 5 for the chosen topic for that week. You can check out each weeks topic over on Goodreads.

This weeks topic is Road trip books. So today I’m going to be discuss books that feature road trips!

So I’m personally not someone that enjoys road trips, mainly because I have really bad motion sickness so I will sleep the entire journey unless I’m driving!

So anyways back to books that feature road trips. I’m going to use road trip loosely as I haven’t read many books that directly feature a road trip.

So the books I chose are:

The Hobbit – okay come on Bilbo goes on an adventure! This is what road trips are for right?!

The Travelling Cat Chronicles – So this one actually does feature a road trip! If you haven’t read it then you seriously need to! It’s a beautiful story and one of my favourite books this year!

Map of Salt and Stars – The story features both the main characters travelling between several countries, Nour because she becomes a refugee and Rawiya because she becomes an apprentice to a map maker.

His Dark Materials – So Lyra travels between worlds, that counts as a road trip right?!

Percy Jackson and the Olympians – In each book the trio travel to different places to fulfil the quest they have been given.

So these are my road trip books!

Do you enjoy road trips? Have you been on a road trip before?

Top 5 Wednesday – Future Classics

Hey booknerds! It’s another Top 5 Wednesday post! This is hosted by Sam over on Thoughts on Tomes where you share you top 5 for the chosen topic for that week. You can check out each weeks topic over on Goodreads.

This weeks topic is Future Classics. Books that I think will stand the test of time.

Okay so this is a really interesting topic! It really made me think about books that have released over recent years and which I think will last past the hype.

So these are the ones I decided on:

Harry Potter series – pretty sure that these will be remembered and read for a very long time! I know I will be passing on my love for these books onto future generations.

Percy Jackson series – I think these will become great children’s classics! They have a great story and such amazing diversity that I think many, many kids will be able to relate to.

The Hate U Give – So this book has become wildly popular and rightly so! It’s a book that’s much needed and reflects society and I think we will be hearing about this for a very long time.

His Dark Materials trilogy – This book is still hugely popular 20 years later and I loved these books as a kid.

The Hunger Games trilogy – I think these books will still be read in many years times and people will be able to relate to and be inspired by them.

So these are the top 5 books I think will become future classics!

Do you agree with any of these? What books do you think will become future classics? Let me know in the comments!
