Welcome to the
BOOKS TO MOVIES GIVEAWAY HOP
hosted by I Am a Reader and BookHounds running from October 2nd to October 10th. There are a bunch of blogs participating in this one so be sure to stop by each one listed in the Linky below. Each site has their own entry rules and geographic limits, so be sure to read the rules and enter their giveaways accordingly.
Books To Movies...
There have been some truly great movies that have come from books. Books carry a special, unique and cherishable feel that compares to non-other. Pairing it with our favorite snack or beverage, (in my case coffee or wine.. mostly wine ;) ), we can spend hours immersed in the world the author has created. And though I know an hour and a half movie can never really replace the ingenious magic that comes from ink and paper or even e-ink and a lit screen, movies can still hold a flicker of the allure that books do. For my giveaway, I couldn't choose one book or one movie that I felt I loved more than another, so I'm cheating and just giving away a gift card of the winners choice.
Go forth, read an amazing book and see a great movie! On me ;)

DeleteMy favorite book to movie is tied between Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone and Divergent.
ReplyDeleteI loved the Harry Potter movies and don't shoot me, but I only read the first Harry Potter book. I know I know. I suck. lol.. but the movie and the ones that followed were and still are some of my favorites. I also really liked Divergent. That's one that did well from book to movie in my opinion. Thanks for stopping by Kerry!

DeleteThe Notebook by Nicholas Sparks
ReplyDeleteI loved both the book and the movie for this one! Great choice Salli! Good luck :)
DeleteI don't really have a favorite book-to-movie. Don't get me wrong, there are some good ones like Message In A Bottle and The Notebook, but I actually prefer books over movies because the majority of the time they leave things out or change the sequence of what's in the book. Plus books let us use our own imagination. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree! I definitely prefer books to movies. There are VERY few instances where the movie meets the books expectations or even goes beyond them. And you're right, the mind is much more imaginative. Thanks for stopping by and good luck :)
DeleteI really did enjoy the Enders game movie. The book was excellent and I want to read more of those, but they did a great job on the movie.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great choice! I enjoyed the movie a lot. Good luck in the giveaway Cheryl!
DeleteI'll go old school .... I loved the adaptation of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (Blade Runner).
ReplyDeleteThanks for the amazing giveaway!
LOVE it! That's a blast from the past for sure. Thanks for stopping by! <3
DeleteI enjoyed the movie Chocolat much better than the book :)
ReplyDeleteI've not read that one. I might have to give it a try.. or at least watch the movie ;)
DeleteI'd have to go with Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter. Thanks for the giveaway! :)
ReplyDeleteLove both of those picks Molly! Thanks for stopping by ;)
DeleteI thought John Grisham's A Time to Kill was a very good movie adaptation.

DeleteMy favorite was The Notebook
ReplyDeleteDigicats {at} Sbcglobal {dot} Net
Both the book and movie were excellent on that one. Good luck Carolsue!
DeleteMy favorite book to movie is Beautiful Creatures. While the movie may be different, it's still such an amazing movie! The movie is what got me into the series.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't read the books before the movie either. Though I liked the movie, the book was amazing! I'd love to see them do another one. Thanks for stopping by!
