84, Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff
The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende
The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin
The Martian by Andy Weir
The Fault In Our Stars by John Green
Some of these are older, some newer, but all of them were very enjoyable to read and watch. And even if they didn’t stick exactly to the book, they kept the spirit of it. These are ones I’d recommend both the book and film of.
What about you guys? Which books/movies did you choose this week? Where any of my picks on your list?
Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge is a blog hop hosted every Wednesday by Long and Short Reviews. The weekly prompts range widely, including both book-related and non-book-related topics. The idea is to get bloggers to interact, share a bit about their lives and connect with other bloggers. Click here for the list of upcoming topics, and visit here to join in the fun!
I forgot about a few of these. Thanks for the reminders.
Yay! Happy to remind you of a few good ones!
I love both the film and book versions of The Martian, but I prefer the book, which is often the case with adaptations I find.
I agree, but there are adaptations that are brilliant just not *quite* as good as the movie in my head when I read the book, vs the ones that are just okay or actually not good at all, and this was one that was pretty well done, imo! But yeah, book is better!
