Top Ten Tuesday is a meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. This week I am sharing my shame of not being up to date on all the book to movie releases.
Still Haven't Seen:
1. Insurgent
Divergent is one of my favorite book series and I have heard that Insurgent is quite different from the book and that upsets me.
2. Paper Towns
I just...haven't?
3. The Shining
I only just read the book, but I have no idea when I would watch the movie since I am literally the only one in my family who likes horror.
4. Watership Down
Watership Down holds a special place in my heart and I have heard this cartoon adaptation of it is terrifying.
5. A Wrinkle in Time
I have heard this is an abomination.
6. To Kill a Mockingbird
I read To Kill a Mockingbird in eighth grade English class, yet we never watched the movie.
7. Gone Girl
I refuse to see movies before having read the book.
8. The Martian
Check the answer in the previous one.
Am Excited For:
9. Mockingjay Part 2
Does this need explanation?
10. The 5th Wave
My dad is finally reading this book and, yes, I will be forcing him to bring me to see the movie.
I still need to see Paper Towns and Insurgent too. I really want to go to see The Martian but will probably wait until it's on demand. I really liked Gone Girl - book and movie. Great list!!
ReplyDeleteThis is why I love on demand and the internet--it is so easy to find somewhere to see the movie without going to theaters! Thanks for commenting! :D
DeletePaper Towns is terrible, don't even bother with the movie. I loved the Insurgent movie! They did a fabulous job twisting the plot and making something different.

Oh, no, really?! I wasn't too partial to the book, though, so I guess that isn't a surprise. But maybe I'll finally get around to watching Insurgent, huh? Thanks for commenting, Anna! XD
DeleteI actually did, for the most part, like the movie for Wrinkle in Time. It's missing some things, sure, but it's not destroyed the way Percy Jackson was. And I need to see Mockingjay--hopefully I can get my mom and brother to go see it with me when it comes out. Haven't read The 5th Wave yet, but I definitely want to!
ReplyDeleteLovely post, Erin!
NOTHING can be as bad as the abomination that the Percy Jackson movie was. I'm cringing just thinking of it. I am SO excited for Mockingjay and even liked part one better than the book... :O And I hope you read The 5th Wave--it's a solid book! Thanks for commenting, Ellie!
DeleteWHAAAAT. A WRINKLE IN TIME IS A MOVIE??????? I haven't read the book yet even if my mom borrowed it for me from the library, but to hear that it's actually a movie? I should've read the book she got for me hahahaha ^_^" Oh well. I haven't watched Insurgent as well. I mean, I see it on TV in the HBO channel thing, but I'm not interested in the book as much as I used to 2 years ago.
ReplyDeleteI need to see To Kill, though! The book was amazing <3

I only just found out a few months ago myself! The book is peculiar and wonderful and I hope you can read it at some point. I don't think I will ever watch the movie, but I DO have to get around to Insurgent at some point. I read the series in middle school and loved it, so I won't be happy about the changes! Thanks for commenting, Jillian! XD
DeleteThe Mockingjay Part 2 is just a few days away! OMG I'm so excited I can't even! LOL :D
ReplyDeleteJulie @ Books and Insomnia
I'm so excited, too! I can't believe it's almost over... :O Thanks for commenting!
