Hey everyone! I was tagged for this tag by Jawahir @The Never Ending Chronicles of Jawahir the Bookworm. She has an amazing blog, so you might as well click on that link and check it out!
Let’s gooo!
- What is the last book adaptation movie you saw?
I think it was Enola Holmes. - What book movie are you most excited about?
Oh, there are so many coming. ACOTAR is being made into a TV show, there’s Red Queen, and so many more!. Oh, and I am so excited for the One of Us is Lying TV show! - Which upcoming book movie will you definitely not see?
I don’t have an answer for this. - Which book movie would you NEVER watch again?
Again, no answer. - Is there a movie you saw that made you want to read the book if you had not yet?
Oh, yeah, I wanna pick up Enola Holmes, Locke and Key and so many others! - Conversely, is there a movie that made you never want to read the book?
Uh, not really. - Name an adaptation that has almost nothing to do with the book it is supposedly based on.
The Kissing Booth - Have you ever left the theatre during a movie adaptation because it was so bad?
Nope. - Do you prefer to watch the movie first, or read the book first?
I prefer to read the book first, but half the times I don’t know there’s a book, so 😦 - How do you feel about movie adaptations that age characters up? (ex. Characters that are in middle school, but in the movies, they’re all 18+)
I prefer to have characters that are the same age- but if like the character is 17 and the actors are under 25, it works for me. But I have got to say that Stranger Things (Which is NOT an adaptation), has excellent casting- since all of the actors can act well, and they are of the correct age as well. - Do you get angry when the actors don’t look like you thought the characters would?
Sometimes. - Is there a movie you liked better than its book?
The Kissing Booth - Name a book that you would love to see as a movie.
Oh, books by Kasie West, Sarah Adams, and so many others! And I can’t wait for the adaptation of One of Us is Lying! I also wish there is an adaptation of Turtles All the Way Down.
I tag:
- Inaya @The Radical Ravenclaw

Wait there’s a One of Us is Lying TV show?

What a fun tag! I really enjoyed reading your answers, even though I haven’t read or watched any of the titles you mention, except Stranger Things. 😅 To answer your question, my favorite book adaptations are Random Harvest (1942) and Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008). The former because the screenwriters knew exactly what they were doing and how to change the story for a different medium while staying true to the original, and the latter because… well, because it’s just a perfect movie!

It’s not good. For me. I got bored with the first book itself. I didn’t read the other two at all

Oh, I see. I think ToG has a huger fanbase than ACOTAR (though I love the name of the Acotar books more- they are so elegant!)

Fun tag! One adaptation I’m still eagerly awaiting is the Jade City tv show I heard about last year. It would be so cool to see that world come to life!
