Top Ten Books I'd
Love To See As Movies/Tv Shows
I love this week’s Top Ten. Hopefully all of our posts will give a nudge
to Hollywood.
Number #10
Title:
Article 5 (#1)
Author:
Kristen Simmons
Genre:
YA Dystopian
Number
of Pages: 362
Release
Date: January 1st, 2012 by Tor Teen
This story would make a gritty,
realistically violent movie or television series. The world is vast and over controlled by the
new America that replaces the Bill of Rights with the Moral Statutes. I’d love to watch the romance between Ember
and Chase. The book is perfect blend of
action and little moments that make you swoon.
Number #9
Title:
Under the Never Sky
Author:
Veronica Rossi
Genre:
YA Dystopian
Number
of Pages: 374
Release
Date: January 3rd, 2012 by HarperCollins
PLEASE OH PLEASE make this a
movie. I will beg on my hands and
knees. This is seriously one of my all-time
favorite series with a perfect example of a swoon-worthy romance. Perry is my numero uno book boyfriend. You can’t have him.
Number #8
Title: Dorothy Must Die (#1)
Author:
Danielle Paige
Genre:
YA Retelling
Number
of Pages: 452
Release
Date: April 1st, 2014 by HarperCollins
Need I explain. Wizard of Oz.
Retelling. There, explained.
Number #7
Title:
Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles #1)
Author:
Marissa Meyer
Genre:
YA Retelling/Science Fiction
Number
of Pages: 390
Release
Date: January 3rd, 2012 by Feiwel &
Friends
This tale is amazingly descriptive
with a world I feel like I MUST see. I
would love to see the words reimagined and shown on screen.
Number #6
Title:
Thirteen Reasons Why
Author:
Jay Asher
Genre:
YA Contemporary
Number
of Pages: 304
Release
Date: October 18th, 2007 by Razorbill
Hauntingly beautiful and true to the
realistic troubles that young people face, this is a story that needs to be
told. If not by someone reading Jay
Asher’s eloquent words, then by a big screen.
Number #5
Title:
Redeeming Love
Author:
Francine Rivers
Genre: Historical Fiction
Number
of Pages: 464
Release
Date: May 9th, 2005 by Multnomah Books
Truthfully, I don’t usually read
Christian fiction, which is what this book is filed under, but this is a story
that anyone can enjoy and take a great deal from. It tells the tale of a young girl that is
sold to prostitution, and slowly learns what real love and healing means. I cried many, many times while reading.
Number #4
Title:
The Crucible
Author:
Arthur Miller, Christopher Bigsby
Genre:
YA Historical Fiction
Number
of Pages: 143
Release
Date: March 25th, 2004 by Penguin
Classics
I know this has already been made
into a movie, but I would love to see this as a television series. This was a mournful time in our history, that
can be mirrored to judgments we place on others today.
Number #3
Title:
Bunnicula
Author:
James Howe, Deborah Howe
Genre:
YA Horror
Number
of Pages: 128
Release
Date: August 8th, 2006 by Atheneum Books
for Young Readers (First published in 1979).
Laugh it up, because I would
too. I’m actually not sure if it was
ever made into a movie, but even so I’d love a remake. This is a comedic horror story about a
vampire bunny. Oh, the nostalgia.
Number #2
Title:
Sex Criminals, Vol. 1: One Weird
Trick
Author: Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky
Genre:
Romance/Comedic Graphic Novel
Number
of Pages: 128
Release
Date: April 29th, 2014 by Image Comics
This would make for one freaking
hilarious (and rated R at least) movie.
The art and little things you see in the background make this graphic
novel an awesome ride start to finish.
And it’s not just a story about sex.
It has plot!
Number #1
Title:
The Dead House
Author:
Dawn Kurtagich
Genre:
YA Thriller/Horror
Number
of Pages: 440
Release
Date: August 6th, 2015 by Orion Children’s
Books
I haven’t even read this yet, and I
already want to see the movie.
