Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge; Books I Love that Became Films or TV Shows

It's Wednesday and time for another Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge thanks to Long and Short Reviews. The theme of the week was books I love that became films or TV series. While several of my favourite books have been adapted to either film or TV, I'm not going to list them all.

Here is anyway five of my favourite books that has been turned into films or TV series.

Chocolat by Joanne Harris

Dracula by Bram Stoker

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey

The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie

    The original Dracula was great. I love the Agatha Christie books to movies. I read all of her books back in high school. Great list!

      I guess you might be refering to the German silent movie in regards of Dracula, which is great? Though the one with Bela Lugosi is pretty good as well. :-) And yeah, Agatha Cristie movies for the win. :-)

    Oh wow, I saw Chocolat in the theater when it came out. I don't think I knew it was a book first. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest absolutely broke my heart, but what a great movie. I've seen the others, and prefer the original Dracula (vampires shouldn't sparkle, I'm sorry). Great list!

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w...
