What are your favorite books to movies?
Bridget Jones' Diary!
ReplyDeleteAlso, Shawshank Redemption, Stand By Me, and The Green Mile. Have you read much Stephen King?
Great list - def agree with Holes, HP, Anne of GG
Good idea on doubling your list. Unfortunately, I only came up with 8 for my list, so I couldn't double mine.
ReplyDeleteThis top ten list has made me realize that I really need to read and watch more of the classics. I'm missing out on a lot!
Wow! you've been on a blogging roll! I've been without internet for way too long, so I'm just catching up now. Sounds like you had fun at LTUE and it's OK that you're just a reader. You're right, writers do need readers.
ReplyDeleteI love this top ten tuesday idea - i'm definitely going to have to alternate teaser tuesday and top ten tuesday now. I would say that my favorite book to movie is High Fidelity. It's a great book, and the movie is absolutely hilarious. Gotta love John and Joan Cusack! If you are a music lover, you should definitely read the book and watch the movie.
