Jim Butcher's Codex Alera series would be a movie set I'd love to watch.

I very much would love to see the Throne of Glass series turned into a movie, but I'm also a bit scared of what they might do to change it. I understand why screenwriters and directors change things. But sometimes the changes are upsetting.

I would love to see a film adaptation of Shatter Me series by Tahereh Mafi. I've always wondered how could it have been seeing your favorite characters come into life!

Ariana Franklin's books! Her knowledge of Medieval history is breathtaking (this is me, a professional historian, speaking). The plot of each book is masterfully thought through and leaves you guessing who the villain is until the very last chapter. Those books are worth the big screen, but maybe it is best they don't become movies. Sometimes movies ruin the whole beauty of a book... Like the adaptations of "Perfume" or "Love in the Times of Cholera"...

I really wish The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer were adapted to film, or even TV. I love that series with all my heart!

YES ME TOO!! However, it would a big production. I don't think peter jackson would be able to do it. There's too much pressure too because the other movies are so top-notch.

The book that I just finished reading- The Reel Sisters, by Michelle Cummings- would make an excellent movie. It was reminiscent of the movie A River Runs Through It. There was so much action, and humor and just great life stories.

I wish Gringo my life as an international fugitive would be made into a movie. Tito's story is fun to read about but i feel like it would appeal so much more on tv

Id love to see Nora Roberts' books get made into movies. Nicholas Sparks gets so many big theatre films and Nora Roberts is an even better storyteller in my opinion.

I would really love to see the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas in a movie or a mini series. I think it would give Games of thrones a run for their money.
