brittanyreads @DGRachel It‘s mainly all double crochets. The pattern is 2dc, skip a stitch, 2dc, skip, and so on. Very easy! And quick! This is the tutorial and pattern: https://melaniekham.com/baby-blanket-crochet-video-tutorial/ 6y

Adaptation | Malinda Lo

One of my most favorite things is reading a book and then seeing it adapted to a movie, television series, play, etc. What are your favorites? Anything so bad you still had to watch it? Looking to add to my #tbr #booktomoviereads

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego The best Book to Movie adaptation IMO is The Revenant. The movie is far better than the book. As for TV adaptations I liked The Handmaid's Tale, American Gods, Sharp Objects & Big Little Lies. 6y

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego The worst one I've seen recently was The Girl With All the Gifts. Awful movie, great book. 6y

swynn I almost always hate a movie if I've read the book first, especially dramatic adaptations of nonfiction works, which tend to become ... well, not nonfiction. I find "The Imitation Game" unwatchable, for instance. But anything by Alfred Hitchcock is at least as good as its source material; I love love Elia Kazan's East of Eden; and Spike Jonze's adaptation of Susan Orlean's Adaptation it's flat-out brilliant. 6y

Gitanjali I agree with @swynn. I‘m a book purist :) but I thought lord of the rings was fine. 6y

Indexasaurus Even though I love the books more, the Potter movies and the Game of Thrones series are my favorites. On the opposite end, I love the movie versions of The Witches of Eastwick and Practical Magic but didn‘t care for either book (I swear I‘m not obsessed with witches!). 6y

Lel2403 To kill a mockingbird....and The Birds.....or maybe Shawshank Redemption....too many to choose ! 6y

LaLecture @swynn I had the same thought about non-fiction to movie adaptions with “Hidden Figures”. The book was a list of facts and the movie was a rather cheesy story (even though I liked it, viewed separately from the book). 6y

LaLecture I think “Stardust” is even better than the book in some parts 🙈. My favourite book to movie adaption might be “The Perks of Being a Wallflower”. It‘s a bit different from the book but you can still feel the book‘s spirit as the author worked on the movie to. 6y

LauraRenae White Oleander. Both the book and the movie are fantastic and yet so different. 6y

dragondrool The Silence of the Lambs. Fried Green Tomatoes. It 2018. I also really liked The Shipping News. 6y

Amiable "Mystic River" by Dennis Lehane. Best adaptation to a movie ever. 6y

MotionChickness That was a tough one! I‘m so anal about book to screens... like irrationally lol. I think The Martian was done very well... and Paper Towns! 6y

Crystalblu The Princess Bride and Silence of the Lambs. Same as my favorite movies😜 It must say something about me that my favorite movies were books first 🤔 6y

madamereadsalot1 Fight Club, Coraline, Howl's Moving Castle, The Hunger Games trilogy, etc. 6y

hissingpotatoes The movie I think most closely resembles its book, and which I loved both of, is Holes by Louis Sachar. 6y

WolfGirl16 I had such a difficult time watching Ready Player One as a movie because I loved the book so much 6y

zzz Gone Girl. The book was just ok for me but I really liked the movie...thought the female lead was perfect👍 6y

Whimsical.Curiosity @WolfGirl16 I enjoyed the movie for what it was but after like 15 seconds I had to pretend that I have read the book. The book was friggin amazing! 6y

WolfGirl16 @Whimsical.Curiosity I thought of one this afternoon. I‘m completely in love with BBCs Sherlock. An amazing show based on great books. #iamsherlocked 6y

Whimsical.Curiosity @WolfGirl16 good call!! Love me some Cumberbatch #swooooon 6y
