[Top Ten Tuesday] – #62 – Top Ten Books That I’d Love To See Adapted

19 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday is an original weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. I thought this would be a fun way to share a condensed version of potential rambles and thoughts that I have.

This Week’s Theme:
Top Ten Books That
I’d Love To See Adapted

Initial Thoughts:

Being #TeamAdaptation, I enjoy not knowing the source material (over and beyond the synopsis) before diving into any film/television series. That being said, the curated list includes books/series that I have yet to read but would be interested in seeing it adapted on screen (because I am notoriously good at saying “oh, yeah, I’ll read this before the film/show” only to not do that and still find enjoyment in the adaptation).

This Week’s Theme:
Top Ten YA Clichés We Love/Hate

 

Initial Thoughts:

Ahoy! A freebie Top Ten Tuesday calls for a rant. Except I’m not going to rant (too much)—I’ll let you do it in the thoughts you share!—I’ll just start it off.

For what it’s worth, many books wouldn’t have widespread appeal if they weren’t bound by several clichés. Yes the market is oversaturated with these kinds of writing but they’re often shortcuts (flagged by readers, I guess?) to explain the story without the requirement of an explanation. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun chirping them out!

That being said, I do have a love-hate relationship with all of them (but it’s kind of therapeutic to rant about).
