    I’d love to see a movie made based on the true story of Dewey: the Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World. My post explains why.

    Great question! But really hard to find an answer. It seems like every book is being turned into a movie. Here’s my answer: http://tfrances.wordpress.com/2011/04/28/btt-coming-soon-to-a-theater-near-you/

    Clive Barker’s Abarat series. It’s bound to be turned in to a movie, but since the book is already filled with paintings by Clive Barker, I don’t think the movie could ever come close to the book.

    On the other hand, I love this book so much I don’t know if I could stand a poorly made film depicting it…

    I’ve wanted to see this book as a movie for years, it’d been the next family blockbuster a la Pirates of the Caribbean (includes my picks for casting): http://secretshelflife.blogspot.com/2011/04/coming-soon-to-theater-near-you.html

    I loved this book so much I wonder if it could translate into film. What do you think?

    Frankly, I’m surprised this one hasn’t been asked before. There are a lot of movies I think would work great on the screen. Click on the link to find out what I finally decided on (YA): http://thestoryqueen.blogspot.com/2011/04/booking-through-thursday-6.html Thanks!

    Great question. I like to think about my favorite books visually sometimes, don’t you?

    Huge alternate-historical romance-epic: The Lions of Al’Rassan.
