Yesterday as part of Top Ten Tuesday I selected 10 books that I would like to see adapted to movie or series.  Today, I’ve chosen 10 books that I haven’t read that I would like to see adapted.  Now, if I see something on film or tv it usually puts me off reading the book so what I’ve really gone for here are books and series that I really want to get to grips with but probably won’t get to read because of my fight with too little time/too many books:

1. Shades of Milk and Honey by Mary Robinette Kowal.  I’ve been checking out this series for some time.  I still quite like the idea of reading it but in actual fact I think it could made a great tv series mixing period drama with fantasy.
2. My Life as a White Trash Zombie – zombies with a twist.  Again, I’ve had this for ages so perhaps the only way I’m going to find out what it’s all about is film!
3. Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood – again, a book I’ve had for a long time.  I am trying to get to some of my older books this year but it would take me ages to get to them all.  This has always had good reviews so I’d be keen to see how it adapts.
4. Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time – I have to just hold my hands up and admit that I’m very unlikely to get to this series – it’s just such a huge undertaking and a bit too daunting.  A series could be another thing though.
5. Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs- I’ve loved the look of this book and yet still haven’t picked up a copy.  It has very positive reviews and it could be a great atmospheric thriller.
6. The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer.  This is a series that I probably now won’t pick up and yet everyone loves it so I do kind of feel like I’m missing out.  A series would be good??
7. The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern – another book with lots of positive reviews but I feel like the moment has now passed by for me.  It sounds like this would make a magical film.
8. The First Law books by Joe Abercrombie – I would like to see these adapted.  I haven’t read them yet but definitely will but even so they’re on the list.
9. One of John Green’s books – maybe looking for Alaska?  I haven’t read any of this author yet –  a little film might jog me along.
10. The Dark Tower series by Stephen King – I had to go there.  I keep thinking I will pick this up and then I just keep not doing.  Will I ever do so.  I don’t know.  A series could be the only way for me to find out what exactly is going on here.
