Today’s
Top Ten Tuesday is either ten book to movie adaptations I’m looking forward to
or ten book to movie adaptations I still need to watch. I’m leaning more
towards ten book to movie adaptations I’m looking forward to, and my interpretation
of that means I’m going to list ten book that I think absolutely must have movies made of them. Just
because that would be totally awesome.
1. The Lost Heiress by Rosanna M. White
I think
this book would be the perfect historical film! It’s got plenty of drama and
mystery and intrigue, along with being full of great historical buildings and
clothes and such, and romance of course, which would make for such an
interesting movie! Plus I just love The Lost Heiress, so I would love to see it across a big screen.
2. A Noble Masquerade by Kristi Ann Hunter
This
would be another wonderful historical movie. A Noble Masquerade is such an action and drama packed novel, set in
the perfect 19th century time frame. It is so sweet and romantic,
and it really has one of the best storylines that would be perfect for a movie.
Besides, it’s just so, so great, and I know it would be extremely popular to
all those who wouldn’t mind the slightly Biblical theme.
3. The Captive Maiden by Melanie Dickerson
Who
wouldn’t want a movie made out of a fairy-tale retelling? Need I say more? The Captive Maiden is one of the most captivating, full of twists and turns,
swoon-worthy novel I have ever read, and it’s based off of Cinderella, only set
in medieval times. Who wouldn’t love a movie like that? This one is basically a
no brainer; it MUST be a film someday!
4. Not by Sight by Kate Breslin
I added
Not by Sight to this list mainly
because it’s so different from all of the typical World War II movies you see
nowadays, and I feel like it would be a refreshing addition to the film library
(I don’t care if that’s not a real thing, it is now). It has such an
interesting, different story that I feel would really make for a wonderful
movie. Not only would it be something new to enjoy, it is also super sweet and
insightful, and I feel like those are all perfect reasons to turn it into a
movie.
5. Royal Wedding Series by Rachel Hauck
I added
the whole Royal Wedding series simply
because I couldn’t pick just one of these books, and I know that all of them
would make for wonderful movies. Movies and books where nobles fall for
commoners are so popular these days, especially since Prince William and
Katherine got married, so I know all three of these novels would do super well.
Once Upon a Prince is so sweet and
magical, I know it would be a chick flick for the ages that would have
everyone—including me of course—sighing with delight during every second. Princess Ever After is also sweet, but
it has so much more depth and twists and turns to it that I feel would make it
a more serious, but yet still lighthearted, love story. And lastly, How to Catch a Prince is just so
wonderful it must be made into a movie. It’s so captivating and intriguing, and
the love story is beyond magical. How could these three books not be made into
movies?
6. When I Fall in Love by Susan May Warren
I just
love the whole Christiansen Family series, and Susan May Warren’s writing in
general, so I just had to add one of those novels to this list. When I Fall in Love is by far one of the
sweetest books I have ever read, and it has such a captivating, swoon-worthy
story that no one would be able to resist. Plus, who doesn’t want to see a
movie that is at least 50% filmed in Hawaii? Doesn’t that make for a must-see
movie?
7. The Secret of Pembrooke Park by Julie Klassen
Mysteries
always make for good movies, right? Besides, The Secret of Pembrooke Park is a mystery set in 19th
century England that has one of the sweetest love stories ever, so it has
plenty of reasons to be made into a film. There is plenty of drama and
intrigue, and Julie Klassen really weaves some of the best tales, so I would
really love to see any of her books as movies, but especially this one.
8. Whispers from the Shadows by Roseanna M. White
This is
one of my favorite books in the whole world! Have I mentioned that before? Whispers from the Shadows is such an
intriguing, mysterious, romantic, wonderful book that would make for the
perfect movie! I would LOVE to see this amazing story plastered across a giant
screen!
9. Weddings by Bella Series by Janice Thompson
I put
the whole Weddings by Bella series on this list because I think at least one of
these books should become a movie, but each book is so completely entwined in
the others that the only way they could be a movie is if there was a movie—or a
series of movies—made of all four of them. Though I’ve only read Fools Rush In, Swinging on a Star, and It
Had to Be You, the first three books in the series, I am sure that That’s Amore is the perfect conclusion
to the series and must be added as well. The reason these books should be a
movie is simple: they are super sweet, funny, interesting, and who wouldn’t
love to watch a wedding planner from a big Italian family fall in love with a
good old Texas cowboy? How could that not make for a hilarious movie?
10. Hurricanes in Paradise by Denise Hildreth Jones
I love
this book so very, very much. It is my favorite one that Denise has ever
written. There is so much raw emotion, so much pain and struggle and final
freedom, that this would be one of the best, tear-jerker movies that has ever
graced the silver screen. Every time I read Hurricanes
in Paradise, and I’ve read it quite a few times, I cannot help but cry
through the whole thing because it is just so accurate, so real. And I feel
like it would be even more so if it were made into a movie.
That’s
my ten, but I can promise you that it took me forever to narrow it down to just
the ones I listed, and I can think of lots of others I would like to add. She Walks in Beauty by Siri Mitchell, Leaving Carolina by Tamara Leigh, Rilla of Ingleside by L. M. Montgomery, First Date by Krista McGee, Save the Date by Jenny B. Jones, and Beguiled by Deeanne Gist just to name a
few. Or six. I almost even made my list 16 instead of 10. But I didn’t, just to
save you from having to hear me rave on and on about those books too. Just believe
me when I say, I would absolutely love it if all those novels were turned into
movies. Because I would watch every one of them. Over and over and over again.
Oh my goodness - I want to see all of these as movies right now!! Lol My TTT
