Books that should be made into shows/movies

Ash-

I didn't like this weeks Top Ten, so I did last week's since I derped and did an old prompt last week.

Also this was hard because there's so many I'd love to watch.

These would make great series

And these would make great movies



Jenn-

I really only watch TV shows so these would make great shows. 

Top Ten Tuesday: Single Worded

Top Ten is an original feature/weekly meme originally created by The Broke and the Bookish and is now hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl that features a great bookish top ten every week.

This week's TTT is supposed to be authors with a fun social media presence. But neither of us wanted to do that and we missed last week's. So we're going back to that one. Fun stuff. 

Ash-
I'm doing my favorite one word titled books I've read (Yes that totally makes sense)




Jenn- 

Here is the top ten of single word titled books I have read. That is a mouthful!

Top Ten Tuesday: Our Thoughts on Audio Books

Top Ten is an original feature/weekly meme originally created by The Broke and the Bookish and is now hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl that features a great bookish top ten every week.

This week's TTT is about audio books. 

Ash-

I decided to split my top ten. 5 books I originally read and then listened to on audio and loved them more on audio. And then top 5 books I tried to read the physical and couldn't get into, but loved the audio.

Originally read physical, but the audio was so much better:



Couldn't get into the physical book, but loved the audio:




Jenn-

This is such a hard subject for me. I mean I love audio. I read twice as much through audio than I do books. So here is my positive and negative list for audiobooks

What's Not too Love?

1. Audio seems less daunting to me. I mean I pick up a book that is 600+ pages and I go ack! I see a book that is 18 hours.. and I I say oh well if I do double speed I will finish in one work day. Easy peasy. 
2. I can listen to audio almost at anytime. I can multitask while listening. I can clean, drive, do laundry, play sims 4, work... and more. So yay for multitasking. 
3. A good narrator just brings the characters to life. I have had some horrible or not so good narrators and it's like meh... but a great narrator can do the book better than my own mind can. 
4. I stay more focused. I am so ADD. When I read a pysical book, my mind can wonder really quick. When being read too... I don't know I am just so much more focused and into the story. 
5. Books that have a lot of detail I tend to skim in books and miss so much. I can't do that in audio. I get so much more of the story from audio
6. My eyes are aging. They don't focus as much any more with reading text. I have to wear cheaters and I hate it! 
7. when reading books, people interrupt me so easily and start chatting. With audio... I can't hear them, I don't get distracted. 

What's There is to Not Love!

1. I don't dare take my phone to the bathtub. So this is where I read my physcial books. 
2. Not all books come out on audio... the worst is when the first of a series is on audio but not the rest of the series or vice versa... the first isn't on audio but the rest of the series is. I need to do the entire series either on audio or reading with physical books. 
3. Books are harder to come by or more expensive on audio. Now I do belong to audible, the library, and scribed however I have to pay or wait in line for some of these books. With physical I get so many ARCs, I don't worry about getting my next fix. 

So my final say... audiobooks all the way. They rock!
