I'm reading Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon

Are you planning on seeing the movie?
I don't think I'll go out of my way to see it, but if I come across it, sure. I'd probably pick it up from my library to watch once it comes out on DVD.

What is your favorite book-to-movie adaptation?
Hmm... I think my favorite book-to-movie adaptation is The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, but I haven't read the book yet, so that might be cheating. That was a goooood movie though.

- Are you planning on seeing the movie? Not in the theater.
- What is your favorite book-to-movie adaptation? Loved One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Shankshaw Redemption. More recently, I thought The Room did a good job and pretty impressed with the adaptation for The Lord of the Rings

Probably the Notebook. Love that movie. The book was boring. ;D

I'm reading Murder on the Orient Express
- Are you planning on seeing the movie?
Yes! I'm very excited as I didn't know that this was going to be a movie until I looked, and all of the actors in it are pretty amazing, so hopefully it's good!
- What is your favorite book-to-movie adaptation?
I really liked the Lord of the Rings movies, I've read the books and while there's action in there, it's interspersed and they're pretty hard to get through. Seeing the movies gives the sense of thrill that most fantasy novels give me, and they cut down on the never-ending descriptions. (The Hobbit was not was well done for sure) (Peter Jackson really should have split up the original trilogy as well but I guess he didn't know how they would be received)

MissLemon | 592 comments I too have read My Cousin Rachel My Cousin Rachel by Daphne du Maurier
I will probably wait to watch on the small screen but very interested to see it, I liked the trailer.
My favourite book to film adaptation is another Daphne du Maurier
Rebecca Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier but there are many as I watch almost as many films as I read books!

Emma (factandfable) | 182 comments - What are you reading for this category?

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood (its a TV series, but I think that counts!)

- Are you planning on seeing the movie?

Yes. I don't have super high hopes, but I will try it out.

- What is your favorite book-to-movie adaptation?

Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings! There is so much I don't love but overall, I LOVE the movies and I also LOVE the books.

Everything, Everything

Are you planning on seeing the movie?
I got passes to see it this upcoming week!

What is your favorite book-to-movie adaptation?
Probably A Game of Thrones. Though there are changes, I do not get mad at them. The creators of the series know their medium and what makes it work for TV.

The Zookeeper's Wife A War Story by Diane Ackerman The Zookeeper's Wife: A War Story by Diane Ackerman

- Are you planning on seeing the movie?
Yes, I would like to see it, I missed it in theatres but as soon as I see it on netflix, it's on!

- What is your favorite book-to-movie adaptation?
Pride and Prejudice (2003) with Kiera Knightly. I know it's no BBC but I just love this version of my favorite Jane Austen book.

Sophie (sawphie) | 2826 comments - What are you reading for this category?
Murder on the Orient Express

- Are you planning on seeing the movie?
Maybe! I really like some of the actors staring in it, so we'll see. But I'm often so disappointed by movies in general that it's definitely not a sure thing.

- What is your favorite book-to-movie adaptation?
Definitely The Lord of the Rings. So much better than the books! I'm happy to say I'm living in Middle Earth now hehe

JoJo Kirkman (jojo2013) | 315 comments - What are you reading for this category?
The Circle
- Are you planning on seeing the movie?

- What is your favorite book-to-movie adaptation?
There's so many, but I know I loved both the movie and book of The Hunger Games.

Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie

Are you planning on seeing the movie?
I haven't decided yet! Maybe when it comes out on DVD; I tend not to go out to movies anymore unless I'm really excited for them because of how pricey they can be. Plus, instead of reading I'm listening to an audio-book version of the book, so in a way it feels like a production in itself, which is nice!

What is your favorite book-to-movie adaptation?
I'd say it's a toss-up between Wild and Gone Girl. I felt like both adaptations captured the tone and spirit of their respective books really well.

Before I Fall

- Are you planning on seeing the movie?
I finished the book this morning and went to the movie two hours later. So I've seen it already

- What is your favorite book-to-movie adaptation?
If you asked me book-to-series adaptation I would have a few options, but for movie I think I have to go with Harry Potter

Joan Barnett | 1968 comments - What are you reading for this category? Everything, Everything
- Are you planning on seeing the movie? Yes my daughter read the book also and wants to go see it.
- What is your favorite book-to-movie adaptation? I guess I'd have to say The Hunger Games. There are many I like though. I kind of picked that one because it stayed the most like the book.

The Adventures of Captain Underpants by Dav Pilkey.

Are you planning on seeing the movie?
Well, the Spider wants to, so presumably at some point I will have to. :S I'm reading the book to get an idea of what to expect, and to see if it's something I want her to see.

What is your favorite book-to-movie adaptation?
Probably The Princess Bride. It's one of my absolute favourite movies, ever. Though to be honest, I didn't enjoy the book as much.

I read a book being made into a Netflix Series. Thirteen Reasons Why

Are you planning on seeing the movie?
I read the book so I could watch the show. I was very excited to see it and i binged the entire series in 2 days. It was better than the book IMHO.

What is your favorite book-to-movie adaptation?
Goodness. I love all Harry Potter. I am especially fond of Stardust by Neil Gaiman the film. The book i absolutely detested.


message 71: by Areeba (new)

Areeba books and kids  | 89 comments Wonder by R.J. Palacio
I'm reading Wonder by R.J Palaccio

i do want to see the movie, the trailer looks amazing and who doesn't love Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson.

my fav book-to-movie adaptation is A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks. in fact i think the movie is better than the book.

Rachel A. (abyssallibrarian) | 3237 comments What are you reading for this category?
I just finished reading Before I Fall

Are you planning on seeing the movie?
Honestly, if I hadn't read the book I probably wouldn't have wanted to see the movie that much. Maybe eventually rent it or see it on Netflix or something, but after reading the book, I'm interested in how they adapt it.

What is your favorite book-to-movie adaptation?
A Walk to Remember! I liked it a lot more than the book. I also thought the Hunger Games movies were very well-done.

Mudbound by Hillary Jordan

Are you planning on seeing the movie?I imagine I'll see it at some stage. The trailer doesn't look as much like the book I just read as I'd have expected, so maybe I'll give it a little time.

What is your favourite book-to-movie adaptation?
I like magical epics on film - books like Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones. Books that I couldn't be bothered to read, but love to watch.


message 81: by Pam (new)

Pam (bluegrasspam) | 3765 comments I'm reading The Circle. I had planned on reading it before seeing the movie but it didn't work out that way! I saw the movie when it first came out and just started the book in September.

My favorite adaptation is Stephen King's "The Body" novella which was made into the movie "Stand by Me". "The Green Mile" is another favorite.

Yes as soon as I finish the book

The help was a good one, The book thief, oh and the 1985 Anne Of Green Gables!


message 83: by Tracy (new)

Tracy (tracyisreading) | 2573 comments - What are you reading for this category? So I picked A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle off a list here and .....
- Are you planning on seeing the movie?Yes! I got so excited about seeing the movie that I watched the trailer and found its not being released until 2018. Oh well. I tried.
- What is your favorite book-to-movie adaptation? Off the top of my head, The Bridges of Madison County and Terms of Endearment, loved both of the movies, hated both of the books. Also I have to admit as good as the books are I can watch the Harry Potter movies over and over.
