Hi guys!
I have to share with you guys the reason I decided to add this theme in the last couple “Top 5 Sundays” polls.
I have to be honest and say that I tend to not being a fan of Books turning into movies. Not that I don’t LOVE the idea of seeing my fave characters in the flesh, but after being more burned than not, I tend to be cautious.
Don’t get me wrong, I will be a fan girl and rush to the theater for those movies, but more often than not they usually don’t reach even close to my expectations =/
However, a couple of years ago I read an Urban Fantasy book that made me for the first time EVER think: “This would make an awesome movie!” – So much so that I rushed to my dad to tell him about the plot and gush and simply go and on as he stood there looking at me like I was crazy LOL
Oh well! hehe So that is the reason for this theme and the book I was just talking about is the first one listed bellow =D
I can’t wait to see your lists!
This week’s results:
Books That Should Be Movies! = 15 (78%)
Favorite Reading Spots! = 4 (21%)
The theme for today is:
Books/Series That Should Be Movies!
But first, a little bit about this feature and the rules to join in…
Every Sunday I will post a TOP 5 list on the blog. It can be about anything and every week I'll have a new theme {You can vote on next week’s theme on my left sidebar!} and I will ad the Mr.Linky bellow the post so you can do a list with the theme and add you link to it.

Dark Time by Dakota Banks
This is the book I mentioned in my text in the beginning of the post. AWESOME book!
Night Huntress Series by Jeaniene Frost
Can you imagine all the Bones, Vlad and Ian HOTNESS on the Silver Screen?? WOW!
Kate Daniels Series by Ilona Andrews
On the same note… Curran on the big screen would be heaven… not to mention all the awesome action!
Katherine “Kit” Kat Series by Gini Koch
A bit of Sci-fi mixed with humor! Something new to step in for Men In Black… Bring in some fresh meat =D
Cassie Palmer Series by Karen Chance
The plot is so intricate and so interesting, it would be fantastic!

Totally agree about Dark Time! I read it couple of years ago and thought that Maliha was like paranormal Indiana Jones :) Loved it! Did you read Sacrifice? It was also fantastic!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! Agree with all!
Great list! (: Although I'm not a big fan of the Cassie Palmer series. Read book one and decided not to continue on.
Here are some Top 5 Sunday ideas. I'm not sure if you've used them/some of them before, but I hope I have a few new ideas here.
-Top 5 damsels in distress (as in how bad they were)
-Top 5 rejected love interests (as in the other guy got the girl)
-Top 5 books that never should have been made into movies
-Top 5 favorite titles
-Top 5 books I never would have picked up based on the cover, but was glad I read it anyway.
-Top 5 worst places to read
I hope you like some of my ideas! (:
Great picks!! Borrow some of your images to add to my list as well!!
Thought of 2 theme ideas, can't remember if you used them or not, but here they are anyway:
1. Books or series I want to re-read of I ever get the time!
2. Books that made me cry or close to it!
Nice list. Totally agree with you on all the books on your list that I've read.
Love this meme!
Ooh, good question!
Here are my top choices for books to be made into movies (provided they don't hire actors/directors/scriptwriters based on fame alone and really look to see if those cast will do the best part with the role!-- that's my answer for why a lot of books don't translate well to film.)
1) The Xanth books by Piers Anthony
2) The Peter and the Starcatchers series by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson
3) Clean by Amy Reed
4) The Ghost and the Goth by Stacey Kade
5) The Tairen Soul series by C.L. Wilson
Now come on Hollywood, make it happen!
Smiles!
