Top Ten Tuesdays are hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. You can find the links for this weeks topic here and for future topics head here.
Having just finished this series as I write this post - it's very much still on my mind. Which is perhaps why I thought of it first. Whilst I think that the series itself would make for a great TV Show I would also love a TV Show that picks up where the books leave off. Mostly, I'll admit, because I want more from these characters!
2) Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
This is cheating because (I believe) there are already plans for this to be made into a TV show. I think there is a lot of potential and it would definitely be far better on TV than as a series of films.

3) Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
Again - pretty sure there are plans for this to be a TV series. This is one of my all time favourite Young Adult series and I would love to see it on TV, its also one where, like The Raven Boys, I think there is a lot of potential for the TV Show to continue after the ending of the books.

4) Soulless by Gail Carriger
This would work so well as a TV Show. There are plenty of mysteries to solve and the alternative historical London would be great. I also think the sequel series about Alexa's daughter would make for great television.

5) Discworld by Terry Pratchett
Definitely, definitely cheating since there are already TV movies/shows from this series (all of which are great by the way) but there are so many other books in the series and I just want more of them to be filmed.

6) The Empress of Rome series by Kate Quinn
TV Shows (or really anything) set in Rome fascinate me and this is one of my favourite historical book series so I would love to see this happen.

7) Shades of London by Maureen Johnson
A group of ghost hunters in London? Definite TV Show material. And you wouldn't even need to keep strictly to the books main plot - there is plenty of room to go off on side cases.

8) The Diviners by Libba Bray
There is no way that a movie could do this series justice so it would definitely need a TV show. Plus the setting would look amazing.

9) His Fair Assassin by Robin LaFevers
Assassins trained in a convent. This is another one where I wouldn't care so much about the main plot, I just think the concept alone would make an amazing TV show and it would certainly be a lot of fun to watch.

10) Don't Even Think About It by Sarah Mlynowski
When reading this there was definitely a part of me that thought it would work well as a TV show. Whilst I did really enjoy it there were definitely times where it would have worked better on film and I'd love to see this happen.

Bonus: Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder
This is a bonus pick rather than a normal pick because, whilst I definitely would watch it, I would also be heartbroken if it wasn't perfect. The casting and the setting and the plot would all need to be done so well, so my desire to watch the TV show would war with my terror that it wouldn't live up to the books.

If you took part this week please leave me a link in the comments, I'd love to check out everyone else's picks!
Yes! Did you see the Going Postal miniseries - it was pretty good!
ReplyDeleteNo! It's the only one I haven't seen yet - its on my To-Watch list!
DeleteThrone of Glass I would totally watch- I've heard so many good things about this series and how awesome Aelin is, it would be fun. And the Carriger books would be good too- Bookwyrm's Hoard recommended those to me a while back but I haven't read them yet. Grave Mercy and don't Even Think About It- yes please. Poison Study looks fun too.
ReplyDeleteI am gonna add my recommendation to Bookwyrm's Hoard's - you should definitely read the Carriger books!
DeleteYes to The Raven Boys and ToG! Althoughhhhhhhhh I did see that there will be a ToG show! I can't wait. :D
ReplyDeleteI am excited for it - as long as they do it well!
