Books that Should be Adapted | TTT

Aug 18, 2020

This week I’m sharing the books that I think should be adapted. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

Today’s post was so much fun to do. Adaptations are always a hit or miss for me. They can be one of a few things. First, they can be crap – which is most of the time. Then they can be decent and then there is the few that are pretty perfect. But that last one is rare.

Anyway enough of that today I’m sharing the books that I would love to be adapted. Either into series or movies, depending on the book. Like always these are in no order.

Prince Charming (Royals #1) by Rachel Hawkins: I just finished this one the other day and gosh would it make such a fun movie. It would be cheesy and cater to such a high audience. I love that this one doesn’t look at your typical royal couple as well. Plus there is the second book in this series as well.

Flight & Glory Series by Rebecca Yarros: This would make emotion and intense series for sure. I feel it could have the same vibe of all the 2000’s series. However, there would be lots of crying and sobbing. But there would be so many moments that would make you smile and laugh.

Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston: Um how amazing would a movie or even a series of this be? It would make me so happy and gosh would be entertaining at the same time. I think it would be a lot of fun and just make me smile the whole time.

The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune: This would make for such a movie or even a series. It would be magical and beautiful. I can already imagine how amazing visually this one could be. Add in some different kind of characters and you have this one wrapped up.

The Guinevere Deception (Camelot Rising #1) by Kiersten White: I could never say not to another series set during the time of Arthur. Seriously I would be just so much fun. And filled with magic and deception. Some of my favourite things.

Serpent & Dove (Serpent & Dove #1) by Shelby Mahurin: A book adapted into a movie about a which and a witch hunter, what more could I want? This would be such an interesting movie and the magic would be epic.

House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin A. Craig: This one would be hunting and gothic and I am so ready for that. This one would be dark and interesting and It would be different from other YA adaptations. I love watching different takes of retelling and this would be awesome adapted.

Romanov by Nadine Brandes: I’m always looking for new historical fiction to watch and I think this would be such an interesting book to be adapted. I don’t know if I would like it as a movie or series yet. But either way, it would be an interesting watch.

Disruption (Disruption #1) by Jessica Shirvington: This could be such an interesting dystopian adaptation. It’s different from others as we a novel and I think it would make such an interesting series for sure. Or even one on Netflix. Shorted seasons but still packs a punch.

The Conqueror’s Saga by Kiersten White: You should all know by now how much I love this series and I think it would make an epic series. And who doesn’t love a strong female character that does not take shit from anyone? Plus its historical fiction, give me that any day. Nevertheless, I would live for this.

And that is it. Those are some of the books that I think would be awesome adapted into movies or series. Do you agree with my picks? What are some of the books that you would like adapted? Let’s Chat!

Books I Love But Have Never Reviewed | TTT

Aug 11, 2020

This week I’m sharing the books that I love but never reviewed. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

I read a lot of books and I don’t review all of them. Most of the time the ones that I do review are books that can specifically for reviews. And newer releases or when I do things like my mini-reviews and can collate several reviews in one. But I just can’t write a review for everything that I’ve read, so today I’m sharing books that I have loved, but don’t have a review written for it yet.

I tried to share a range of books here, but there will be a lot more romance as it’s something that I am reading more of at the moment. Like always these are in no order.

Sleeping Giants (Themis Files #1) by Sylvain Neuvel: I’m can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this. I know I’ve spoken about it a few times on here, but I love this one so much, especially as an audiobook. If you haven’t had the chance to read this one, but want to. Do me a favour and listen to it on audio. It has a full cast and it just works out to be incredible.

Rookie Move (Brooklyn Bruisers #1) by Sarina Bowen: This is one of my favourite Sarina Bowen books and I somehow don’t have a review for it. I love the first 3 books of this series so much. I enjoy the others a lot. But the original 3 is exactly what I look for in a sports romance. And Leo and Georgia have to be one of my favourite couples for sure!

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller: I didn’t realise I hadn’t written a proper review of this one until today. This is hands down one of my favourite books. There is so much that I love about The Song of Achilles that I would be talking about it forever. But the characters are beautiful, the writing is stunning. And I cried like a baby.

You’d Be Mine by Erin Hahn: This is one of those books that I said a review will be coming soon and it never comes. But I enjoyed reading this one a lot. The romance was fantastic, the characters were great and I enjoyed the storyline. I think I want to reread this one soon and finally publish a review.

Full Measures (Flight & Glory #1) by Rebecca Yarros: Another romance one that I have no idea why I haven’t review. Rebecca Yarros is one of my favourite romance authors and this is the book that brought me to her. This book made me cry so much, but gosh was it fantastic. I’ve reviewed most of her other books and adore most of them as well. But this will always have a special place for me.

More Than We Can Tell (Letters to the Lost #2) by Brigid Kemmerer: I swear I reviewed this one, but apparently not! Anyway, I love this book so much. I love that we got to jump back into the world that Brigid created her. Rev Fletcher is a fantastic character and all I wanted was good things to happen to him. I miss this world and I might have to do a re-read of these books soon.

Secrets of a Summer Night (Wallflowers #1) by Lisa Kleypas: I can’t believe I’ve only reviewed one of Lisa Kleypas’ books and it’s her most recent one. I’ve read quite a bit of hers now and you should also all know how much I love her books. They are just fun, entering, full of fantastic romances.

Halo (Fallen Angel #1) by Ella Frank and Brooke Blaine: I read this trilogy last year and enjoyed it. I knew nothing about it when I picked it up but ended up loving it. It’s not a series for everyone, but it was fun, enjoyable and the romance was hot.

The One You Can’t Forget (The Ones Who Got Away #2) by Roni Loren: I’ve read the first two books in this series and they have both just made me cry. I have reviewed the first book in this series, but haven’t’ reviewed this one yet. Like I said this one made me cry a lot, but I expecting nothing less.

And that is it for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday! Have you read any of these books? Are you planning on reading them? What are books that you love but haven’t’ reviewed? Let’s Chat!

Books I Love with Colours In the Titles

Aug 4, 2020

This week I’m sharing the books that I loved that have a colour in the title. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

This is a fun topic. It’s nice to do something and not think too much about it. I decided to plan on the topic and share the books that I loved. While saying this, I haven’t read many books with colours in the title. Like always these are in no order.

Scarlet (The Lunar Chronicles #2) by Marissa Meyer: While this isn’t my favourite book in the series, I still really enjoyed it. It’s fun and I love Scarlet and Wolf together, the dynamic between those two is fantastic. I did a re-read of the whole series this year and gosh it was so much fun, I need to start recommending this to more customers.

Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston: There should be no surprise that this has made my list. I love this one so much. The romance in this one is adorable! Seriously they are one of my favourite couples of all time. And this has 3 colours in the title, so it wins!

Chain of Gold (The Last Hours #1) by Cassandra Clare: One of my favourites books this year, it had to make this list without a doubt. I love everything about this book. From the characters and the plot to the romances that have started. I can’t wait to read more and see what she does to hurt me.

Opal (Lux #3) by Jennifer L. Armentrout: I don’t talk about this series much, but I still very much enjoyed it. Book 3 is when things start to get interesting in this series. All the characters have already been through a lot, but this is the tipping point. Yes, I know that Opal isn’t a colour per se – but let’s go with it.

Shades of Gray (KGI #6) by Maya Banks: This is one of the more intense books in this series, but it’s still such a great read. Both our characters go through a lot in this novel and man I cried a lot. But this series is intense all together.

The Ruby Circle (Bloodlines #6) by Richelle Mead: Gosh I haven’t talked about this series in such a long time. But this the way you finish a series. I love everything about it and wish I could read this for the first time again. This series brings back so many memories and I love it.

And that is it for today’s Top Ten Tuesday. I didn’t realise how few books I’ve read with colours in the title. Anway. Have you read any of these books? Are you planning on reading them? Let’s Chat!
