Top Ten Tuesday : Books I'd Love to See as a TV Show/Movie

Tuesday, September 10, 2013




Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week's theme is: Top Ten Books I'd Love To See As A TV Show/Movie. 


1. Gallagher Girls Series by Ally CarterWould be perfect as the lead in to Pretty Little Liars or something. Just don't let the CW get hold of it. 

2. Secret Society Girl by Diana Peterfreund- This one could be on The CW. There hasn't been a good college TV show since Greek. We're in need of one. 

3. Dairy Queen Series by Catherine Gilbert Murdock - I think this would make a GREAT TV series. Perfect for those of us who miss Friday Night Lights.

4. Troy Series by David Gemmell - Everybody fell in love with GoT and Pillars of the Earth, and Merlin and Robin Hood did well on the BBC. Why not try Troy?

5. Burn for Burn by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian - Again, perfect for the PLL fans. 

6. American Wife by Curtis Sittenfeld - I think this would make a good HBO miniseries like Mildred Pierce or something like that. There's too much in there to become a movie but not enough for it to become a long running series. 

7. Dash & Lily's Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan - Perfect Christmas movie. We need a new Christmas classic, don't we? I think the rights have already been acquired and I vaguely remember hearing Lena Dunham's name attached to write the screenplay or something, so fingers crossed. 

8. The It Girl by Cecily von Ziegsar - When Marc Jacobs met Harry Potter (minus the magic). We need a boarding school TV show. Perfect opportunity to recast Jenny Humphrey too.

9. Violet Series by Melissa C.Walker - This could fill the void left by Ugly Betty and Jane by Design. 

10. The Misinterpretation of Tara Jupp by Eva Rice - I've mentioned this book so much this year but I really do think it would make for a brilliant BBC adaptation.
