Deja Dead: A Novel | Kathy Reichs
post image

My lovely, clever, marvelous #Littens . I recently started rewatching Bones. And I‘ve realized I haven‘t read any of the books that the show is based on.

Are they any good? Should I give them a try?
#BookAdaptations

Ruthiella It‘s been ages since I read one. As I recall, they were pretty good. I think, however, the TV show is not an adaptation of the books but more loosely based on Kathy Reichs real life. 8mo
vlwelser The books are good. But they have no relation to the show. You should try one. But think of it as a separate thing. 8mo
Kristy_K Agree with @Ruthiella and @vlwelser . Books are good but outside of the MC‘s name and job, they are different. I enjoyed both the books and the show! 8mo

julesG What the others said. The books are good, but it's definitely not about the TV serie's Tempe. I'd say the novels are the fictional/exaggerated story of Kathy's job. 8mo
thebacklistbook According to an interview the TV series is about Kathy Reichs but she wasn't comfortable being directly depicted so they named the character after Tempe instead. The books are in my opinion good. As long as you don't go in expecting to recognize stuff from the show. 8mo
Shemac77 I love the books! 8mo
TrishB I love the books- but I‘ve never watched the series! 8mo
LiseWorks I love the books, they are not like the show. 8mo
BookBr The books are fantastic, but the show takes a very different take on the basics of the story… 8mo
Read4life I‘ve enjoyed both. Like others have said, they are different. The books are closer to her real life where she splits her time between NC & Quebec. 8mo
TNbookworm I love the show but haven't read any of the books either 🙂 8mo

I love this book series, so I am… unsure how I feel about this right now. Keeping my fingers crossed though. 🤞🏻

majkia oh wow. I'm sort of happy, but.... I've always seen our secbot as female, so this is.... hmmm. 11mo
TheKidUpstairs Hmm...I love Skarsgard, but not sure if he's the right fit for this, but I think the Weitz brothers are a good choice for the wry tone of it... we shall see! 11mo
5feet.of.fury I haven‘t read these so I can‘t have an opinion yet, but that man 😍 11mo
Ruthiella @majkia Me too. That‘s why I can‘t listen to the audio books because the narrator is male and I feel that Murderbot is female. 11mo
Clare-Dragonfly Jeez. I am happy for Martha Wells but not thrilled with the idea of having a face for Murderbot… especially a white man‘s face. I think Murderbot‘s appearance should be extremely ambiguous in terms of gender and ethnicity. 11mo

Good Omens | Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett

It‘s coming! I am cautiously optimistic! #BookAdaptations

mom2bugnbee I'm curious what this will be since they finished the book in the first season... But I love them both so much I kinda don't care! 😁 2y
BookmarkTavern @mom2bugnbee Neil has said that the two of them actually had a lot of notes for a second book. They just never got to it, because Terry received his diagnosis. So hopefully it‘ll turn out just as good as the first season! 🤞🏻 2y
rabbitprincess I spent a ridiculous amount of time yesterday listening to the opening titles after seeing this news! I LOVE the theme song! 2y

Hi, hello. I cannot be normal about this news. 🎉🎉🎉🎉 *Kermit flailing*

TheKidUpstairs I've never read this series, but to my general knowledge of Greek Mythology Lance Reddick is a freakin' fabulous choice for Zeus! Not one I would have expected, but seeing this just makes so much sense. 2y
KathyWheeler I love Lance Reddick! He will make an interesting Zeus. Are the children going to closer to the ages they were in the books? 2y
BookmarkTavern @KathyWheeler I think so! Walker Scobell, the boy playing Percy, is 14. And Annabeth‘s actress, Leah Jeffries, is 13. 2y
KathyWheeler @ozma.of.oz Good. They aged them up so much in the movies that it was ridiculous. 2y

It‘s time to sit down with some chocolate, and watch the story of my disaster, bastard children. And Alina. But mostly my Crows! 🖤
