I would love to see just about anything written by Vernor Vinge. Rainbow's End would be especially good, I think. It deals with the influence that augmented reality (such as Pokemon Go, but way more developed) could have in our lives in the near future, so it would be very prescient.

I will like to see looking for Alaska by John Green and Gone, a gone novel by Michael Grant, both are one of the best books that I have ever read.

The books I would love to be made into movies is the rest of the Mortal Instruments series and the Infernal Devices series, because these are my favorite books. They have to be made right though.

Out by Natsuo Kirino!! This was one of those books I picked up at a little secondhand bookstore for .50 not thinking much about it. It was one of the best books I read in 2016, I loved it! It was dark, interesting, kept me engaged... I think it would make such a good movie! Has anyone read any of her other novels?

Sara Gruen's "At Water's Edge." When I first heard that "Water for Elephants" was going to be a movie, I was skeptical. I thought there was no way the film could live up to the standards of the book. While the book is still better, I was pleasantly surprised by the movie. If they could make "At Water's Edge" at the same quality, I would love to see it in a film adaptation.

I would absolutely love to see the book Immortal Writers by Jill Bowers. It is such an action-packed read and I think that would be carried over really well to a film, especially all of the fantasy elements in it.

Where she went by Gayle Foreman. The first book was made into a movie three years ago and it was beautifully made. Jamie Blackley as Adam was especially amazing and Id love to see the story from his perspective.

Charley Davidson series by Darynda Jones! Strong female character, witty, sarcasm for days, complex story plots, endless fictional man candy!

I would love to watch Wattpad's CHASING RED, and hope it won't turn out to be like 50 Shades of Grey.

I think it would be awesome to see Karen Marie Moning's Fever series turned into a movie. I heard a rumor that someone bought the rights for it.

Paulo coelho's The Alchemist deserves to be made into a movie. The book describes human aspects of greed. It also shoes great amount of knowledge by the alchemist

Latest Review: "Yesterday" by Samyann

I would love to see The Sisters Grimm series by Michael Buckley turned into a movie. It's about Sabrina and Daphne Grimm who get sent to foster care after their parents vanish one day. Eventually, they are taken in by a long lost grandmother, Granny Relda, who they had been told was dead. The girls, especially Sabrina, are suspicious of this new relative but eventually they are introduced to the family fairytale detective business and come to love Relda. You find out that the Grimms are descendents of the actual Brothers Grimm. And all those characters in bed time stories and fairytales are real and living in an enchanted town called Ferryport Landing. Its a wonderful fantasy book for all ages and I know if directed and casted by the right people it would have a chance to be as popular as Harry Potter. I am so invested in the Sisters Grimm I would be over the moon if they made it into a movie, trilogy or saga.

I would like to see the book "Guide to Guardian Angels". I think that the society would like to view the spiritual world that there are higher realms such as guardian angels that do exist aside from the physical world. There are billions of angels everywhere waiting for us to call on them when we need their help. The book will open gateways to people's minds and further broaden their horizons that there is much more than just us human beings here on earth. With much thanks and appreciation.

I would love to see the house of night series made into a movie. Its an ongoing series with more than just three books in it like your twilight or divergent and are about the same things in certain areas.
