From Ebook Classics:
Yes, it’s back! The Book to Movie Challenge is being rebooted in 2016 with more discussions, more monthly themes and more fun because let’s face it — the format last year probably bored all of you to tears! In addition, I’ll be giving away a few prizes throughout the year because bling is great motivation to participate.
GUIDELINES
♦ You can join at any time.
♦ Neither the book nor the movie has to be new in 2016.
♦ TV shows and mini-series count.
♦ Comic book and graphic novel adaptations count.
♦ Active participation in the challenge is required to qualify for prizes.
♦ Participation includes (but is not mandatory):
◊ Linking to a book to movie review on your blog
◊ Commenting on Book to Movie posts and participating in discussions
◊ Reading and commenting on the reviews of your fellow challenge participants
◊ Giving some of the mini-challenges a go
◊ Talking about the challenge on social media
♦ Prize winners will be randomly selected.
To sign-up for the challenge, post an introduction on your blog that names three (3) book adaptations in 2016 you’re excited about and tell us:
♦ Have you read the book and did you love/loathe it?
♦ Why are you excited about the adaptation?
♦ What do you think of the casting?
I'm going for 10 book to movie adaptations for this year. I'm leaving most of my list open for discoveries, but I do know that I want to read/watch:
- Chocolat -- Watched the movie and loved it, but have never read the book. It's on for my TBR for January.
- The Maze Runner -- Haven't read the book or watched the movie. Looking forward to it.
- The Mists of Avalon -- I saw the mini-series years ago and have wanted to read the book for years now.
