Now as I mentioned previously, producers love making movies out of books as you have a good story and ready made audience in one go. But they also have to be careful as book lovers hate it when the adaptation is botched. Hell hath no fury then! There are so many books made into movies….
Challenges
The different challenges I have done so far – some completed, some not so!
Day 18 – A book that disappointed me
My reading is very eclectic. I will pick up a book, not like it and then keep it away. I will pick it up again after months and it will become my favourite book. It all depends on my state of mind when I am reading a particular book. I am hoping it is not…
Day 17 – Favourite quote from my favourite book
When I was young and printed books were the only way of reading, I used to underline or highlight the quotes I loved. That habit remains unchanged but what is additional is doing it virtually when I read books on my kindle or Apple Books. Some of my favourite quotes are from Harry Potter but…
Day 16 – Favourite Female character
I love books with strong female characters. I actually feel kinship with strong women. So over the years I have read a lot of books with woman as the central character. In fact, one of my favourite books is “Becoming” by Michelle Obama. My favourite female character is Skeeter from The Help. This book is…
Day 15 – Favourite Male Character
I must admit I read a lot of books with strong female character. They do have male characters but mostly they are a co-actor rather than the centre of the story. My favourite male character is Harry Potter. I love how Rowling has given shades to his personality. He seems real and is not a…
Day 14 – Book turned movie and completely desecrated.
We know that books are a favourite with the movie makers. It makes complete commercial sense – you have a story and for a popular book you have ready made audience. Hence why we have so many best sellers that have been converted to movies. I usually like to read the book before I watch…
Day 13 – My favourite writer
This is a tough one! Over the years I have read so many books and loved so many writers, how do I choose my favourite? I think I am going to tackle it by the top few whose books I have enjoyed a d read multiple times! J.K.Rowling – I am a Harry Potter fan….
Day 12 – A book I love and hate at the same time!
I thought long and hard before writing this blog post. As I mentioned, I am a lover of books and there are very few books I dislike. So a book that stirs mi I tried to remember and I then knew the book that start these love-hate emotion in me – The Slap by Christos…
Day 11 – A book I hated
Hate is a very strong emotion and as a book lover, I don’t think I have hated any book. There are many that I have not liked and never touched again. For me that is a sure shot sign that I don’t like the book. One of the very first best sellers I read when…
Day 10 – A book that reminds me of home
I have always been a book worm. In fact growing up, I used to spend most of my spare time in my room reading books. My sister and I used to spend all our pocket money, money received from relatives, birthday money etc on buying books. This was on top of the library books that…
