Top Ten Tuesday: Books I'd Love to See as Movies/TV Shows

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme created by The Broke and the Bookish, and the theme this week is to list the top ten books I would love to see made into movie/TV show adaptations.  Now, I am a firm believer that not all books need to be made into movies or shows, but there are a few I would honestly kill for (just kidding).  

1.  Throne of Glass by Sara J. Maas 

Oh, my poor (perhaps nonexistent) soul.  This would make such an epic movie.  Honestly, I do not understand how this isn't one already.  Assassins and fantasy, plus a huge built-in fan base?  It's kind of a no-brainer to me.  It would be a big project to tackle, but it could be done.  It has to be done.  Seriously, if it isn't I may cry. Okay, not really, since I am a Vulcan and Vulcans live by sound reasoning and logic. Then again, I'm only half Vulcan, so things still may get ugly.  

2.  The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black

No lie, I loved this book with my entire heart, even with it as frozen over as it is.  The eerie, whimsical tone of this book would make for a gorgeous movie.  The story line itself would also translate well to film, being so adventurous.  And, just imagine how cool the visual effects would look, with the woods and the faeries.  It would be both compelling and pretty. 

3.  The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken 

This is my favorite dystopian book series ever, along with Divergent.  I am not able to express how much love I hold for this series.  Kids with powers on the run?  An oppressive government and a deadly disease? There is honestly nothing not to like about this series, not one thing, and I will defend it to my death. Then, when I become a ghost, I will haunt anyone who ever dared insult this brilliant book.  

4.  The Fifth Wave by Rick Yancey

Alien apocalypse.  Is that not enough?  Well, it was, apparently, because it is becoming a movie.  It just isn't out yet.  Sigh...  Oh, and dad, if you're reading this, you still haven't read this book, even though I gave you a copy for Christmas!  This is your weekly reminder to finally read this awesome book.  

5.  A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle

So, yes, I do realize that this has already been made into a movie.  I have never had the displeasure of seeing said film.  Even Madeleine L'Engle herself said the movie was Not So Great.  I trust the author of this beloved book, possibly the only book I read in school and loved.  Now, that is a hard feat to pull off, as I despise being forced to read certain books.  It's probably because I'm stubborn and don't like being told what to do (just ask my mom).  I think A Wrinkle in Time deserves a really well done adaptation, one worthy of the book itself.  

6.  Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

Fangirl is pure adorableness, with a dash of nerdiness thrown in. I'm not sure how the fanfiction parts would be filmed, but, like the vast majority of people, I skimmed those parts anyway.  I am sure that it would attract fangirls and fanboys from every nook and cranny of the world.  Or, more likely, from their laptops.  Even me.  

7. We Were Liars  by E. Lockhart

This is one of those books I just inexplicably love.  Something about it really screams, "ADORE ME!!!!!!!!!!!"  And, yes, with that precise amount of exclamation marks.  Strange enough, I mostly want to see this wondrous book as a movie simply so I could see if they could pull it off.  I still don't know how E. Lockhart pulled it off.  She must have secret powers.  That must be it.

8.  The Alchemyst by by Michael Scott

I inhaled this entire series a few years back and I stand by my eleven year old self's wish for this to be made into a movie.  I never got bored, not once, reading all six installments.  It is bursting at the seams with magic battles and cameos from real life historical figures and monsters from other worlds.  Dear Producers, I would very much like this to be made into a brilliant movie, or else, Love Erin.

9.  Legend by Marie Lu

This book would make a downright LEGEN, wait for it, DARY movie.  Get it?  Legend?  Legendary? No?  Okay...  This dystopian trilogy would fit in with all the movie series trending right now, for one.  It is quick and action-packed and has star-crossed love, which everyone seems to love.  Me?  It depends. But Marie Lu got it right with this series.  

10.  The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

Last but not least, the beloved series about Greek gods and their kids.  Again, I do realize that this already has a movie adaptation. But I am ignoring that on the basis that the movie sucked.  This book series deserved so much more than what it was given, and I demand a redo.  I demand justice!  And candy, preferably blue, because that's what Percy likes.
