2016 Book to Movie Reading Challenge

books to movies

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.
