One more book and #booked2019 will be done. I realized I used one book twice. All is Quiet on the Western Front was that good. I still have to pick a book to movie novel. Should be easy but I suspect it won't. 😁

Cinfhen We “encourage” that you read one book for every prompt but honestly it‘s all meant to be fun!!! As long as you‘re happy we are too💛 5y

LITTENS! I NEED YOUR HELP!

I am a teacher and I am working on a reading challenge for our high schoolers. The theme is “Book vs. Movie”, and each student will need to read 5 books from a preset list and then watch their corresponding film.

🔺 Will you tell me your favorite books that have been adapted into films??

I have a list going, but would love more suggestions. Thank you so much!!!

vivastory I loved the adaptation of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Also very impressed by Scorsese's adaptation of 6y
