Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Books I'd Love to See on Screen

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the Broke and the Bookish.  Click here to be taken to their blog and participate!  This week I have the top books that I would love to see play out on screen, whether big or small.

10. Cinder
I feel like this will be a popular one this week.  The Lunar Chronicles lend themselves to what could be a beautiful and colorful movie series. 

9. A Darker Shade of Magic
This is another I think would make a great movie.  I think that the magic system would be the greatest thing to see in action, and would love to see how they tackled Kell's jacket.

8. The Selection
Twice.  The CW tried to make this a show twice.  I'm still not ready to give up hope that it will eventually make it onto a screen somewhere.

7. Riyria Revelations
If you know me, you know I love this series to death.  I think it'd work well on TV in a sort of mini-series format.  Like, short, six episode seasons.  As much as I'd like to see it on TV, I don't want it over-complicated.  It's already perfect and, in my opinion, shouldn't be added to.

6. Graceling
If this could be a movie that'd be great.  It's another magic system that I just want to see in action so bad!

5. Daughter of Smoke and Bone
I'm pretty sure this is in production somewhere? but I could be wrong.  It would make for such a cool movie, but the two sequels are so long, they'd each need to be split into two movies each.

4. Let the Sky Fall
Is it weird that I've always sort of pictured this one as a classic Disney princess movie?  I think it's be adorable in that format, and I feel it could still tell the same story.

3. American Gods
I know Stars has the rights to this one, and I'm really hoping it works out.  More than anything else, I want to see who they cast.

2. Throne of Glass
This would make such a great TV series.  I don't know where they could go wrong!

1. Mistborn
And of course, this would be my ultimate wish- to see Mistborn on screen.  While reading it, I pictured an anime series, honestly.  I think that it'd have to be animated in order to get all the magic right, but I'd be okay with anything just to see it on screen.

  1. Great list!! I agree...I would love to see The Selection become a TV series. I've never watched The Bachelor or Bachelorette, but I would definitely watch The Selection. Throne of Glass is on my TBR list for this summer!!

  5. I think I would watch a TV version of The Selection even though I didn't love the second or third book. Cinder would make a really good movie. That's the only book I've read so far but if the rest of the books follow suit, it would make an awesome set of movies :)

    1. ToG would just be the greatest thing if it made it to a movie or TV show. Thanks for stopping by!

  8. I haven't read any of these, but they all look like they'd translate really well to the big screen! Let's hope the movie executives are reading the TTT posts this week. :)

  9. I think I may have good news for you then: The Selection rights have been bought and a movie script is the workings. Hopefully, third time's the charm?

    Great picks! I would love to watch Graceling on my TV screen. I absolutely adored the book.

    Happy readings! :)
