Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme where every Tuesday we look at a particular topic for discussion and use various (or more to the point ten) bookish examples to demonstrate that particular topic.  Top Ten Tuesday (created and hosted by  The Broke and Bookish) is now being hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and future week’s topics can be found here.  This week’s topic :

Books that Should be Adapted into Netflix Shows/Movies

This is a thing I hesitate over, wishing for my favourite books to be adapted – on the one hand I absolutely want all of these to be adapted in some way either for the big screen or tv but on the other hand, what if it isn’t produced well, cast wrong, or gross liberties are taken with the storyline. It’s a mixed bag but given the choice I would see plenty of the books I love adapted – here’s a very small snippet of such books.  Apologies that these are not linked this week.  Also, living under a rock, as I do, some of these may already be optioned or in the process of adaptation – if you’re aware then please let me know in the comments.  Finally, I’ve cheated a little, I’ve gone for 10 categories (although, ahem, thee are rather loose) and three books in each – it allows me a lot more choice as it was very difficult to whittle down my list this week as I had so many possibilities.
