This week over at The Broke and Bookish the topic for discussion is:

‘Top Ten Book To Movie Adaptations I’m Looking Forward To’

This is a slight cheat because I’m going to list 10 books that I would LOVE to see made into a movie – I know this is a touchy subject for some people and sometimes these films can be just not good.  But, there are some good adaptations out there and I think this list could be excellent with the proper cast and director.  With a bit of luck most of these are already in the pipeline (this would make me very happy):

1. The Thorns Trilogy – no idea if this is in the offing or not but I would love to see Jorg come to the big screen.  Mark Lawrence’s Prince, King and Emperor of Thorns. Prince, King and Emperor of Thorns.
2. The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman – I’m sure I heard a whisper that this was going to be made into a film.  I so hope it is.  This would be a great movie to watch.
3. Mayhem and Murder by Sarah Pinborough – scary films!!  These two books would make a perfectly delicious horror/thriller dark gothic Victorian creepy chill inducing pair of movies.  Fingers crossed.
4. Fifth House of the Heart by Ben Tripp – Oh hell yes!  The casting needs to be good.  Not everyone can play Asmodeus Saxon Tang – but get the casting right and this could be so good.  So very good.
5. Owl and the Japanese Circus by Kristi Charish – who doesn’t want to watch an action adventure/Indiana Jane?
6. Hexed by Michael Alan Nelson – I’m going for creepy again.  i can’t help it – this is lovely and dark.
7. Maybe not a film but a long series – Jacqueline Carey’s Kushiel series.  Again – this would all depend on good casting.
8. All the Truth That’s in me by Julie Berry – a greatly underrated book I feel – really good reading and could make a fantastic movie.
9. Longbourn by Jo Baker – this could be a fantastic period adaptation.  I loved this book and I could read the whole of Austen’s books retold in the same way.    If you’re listening Jo Baker!
10. The Girl with All the Gifts by M J Carey – bring on the zombies with a difference!

Which books would you love to see adapted?
