It’s My Birthday and YOU Can Win!

I was able to get some AMAZING prizes (seriously, some of them I REALLY want for myself) from some amazing authors, bloggers, and vloggers.

Top Ten Things On My Reading Wishlist

Okay, so we didn’t stick to the topic this week… We did things a *little* differently.

I love books, obviously, but one thing I enjoy most about being a self-appointed Book Nerd is the film adaptations. Whenever one of my favorite books gets made or a book that I’ve read in general, I always get like an excited nausea because I’m always afraid that they are going to miss something important or some little detail that I deem important and therefore should be in the film. What I don’t approve is the film going off base from the literary text and making it its own thing (for example: Hamlet with Mel Gibson—bad idea. The film doesn’t follow the play at all, and really Mel, you’re not a very good Hamlet, either).

There are a thousand great book/film adaptaions, but having not read all the books to the films… here are my Top Ten favorite adaptations (and these are in no particular order except 1-3)…
