June 2: Top Ten Books I’d Love To See As Movies/Tv Shows
1. Robert Asprin; Phule’s Company. Funny, with weird aliens and assorted misfits. And a butler.
2. Oryx & Crake; Margaret Atwood. A weird dystopian, complicated enough that it would be difficult to make into a move, but challenges are fun.
3. Warrior’s Apprentice; Lois McMaster Bujold. I really just want to see Miles on the screen. It’d be fun!
4. All American Girl; Meg Cabot. Princess Mia got a movie, why not the girl who who saved the President?
5. The Wind Witch; Susan Dexter. A favorite childhood book of mine, with a strong female character, and some cool powers.
6. An Abundance of Katherines; John Green. Why not make all the John Green books into movies?
7. The Magicians; Lev Grossman. Because if Harry Potter can do so well, why can’t a darker and grown up version do well?
8. Grave Sight; Charlaine Harris. Spooky powers, lots of mystery, and a strong female lead.
9. Johannes Cabal: The Necromancer; Johnathan Hughes. He’s snarky, and he’s trying to get his soul back from the devil–he’s having quite an adventure.
10. Wind Up Bird Chronicles; Haruki Murakami. Another weird one, but anything by Murakami would be interesting.
I was just saying to another blogger that I’ve had Oryx and Crake for ages and not yet read and here it is now on two lists – it must be an omen! I’ll have to pick it up (very soon!)
I’ve read I think one of the grave series by Harris and enjoyed it. Not got further with the series though but I’m sure I have at least one other book somewhere!

There’s always more books than time, right?
Yes, there definitely needs to be a movie of The Warrior’s Apprentice. But they cannot leave out ANY of the characters.
That’s kind of a lot of people, but it could probably be done. 🙂
Well, mostly what I meant was that I’d be really annoyed if they made that movie but decided to leave out Arde Mayhew for some reason.
