I would love it if Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers was a movie. I thought it was an amazing book, I don't normally like romantic or Christian books, but it was 100% just fantastic. How forgiving, and living the main male character is to his beloved, no matter how many times she betrays him. However, she has a terrible backstory, and even though how broken she is, he never gives up. It definitely made me cry.

My boyfriend has this book and highly recommends it. I think I will be reading this one next :)

I want to see the Cinder series by Marissa Meyer as a movie (or movie series), but I'm also scared that they would butcher it like most movie adaptations do.

The Hand Bringer. I think it would make a great science fiction movie.

Dean Koontz's Life Expectancy has an interesting premise that would work well in a movie.

Good call! Dracula in a sci-fi movie would be an interesting theme.

There are a few books I really wish were made into movies such as Mercedes Lackey Valdemar series or Ilona Andrews Katie Daniels series or Hidden Legacy. However, there have been some great books that were ruined as movies for example Eragon, Blood and Chocolate and The Mortal Instruments City of Bones movie.

I love the whole Mapmakers Trilogy by S.E. Grove. I constantly found myself imagining scenes from the novel as if they were in a movie, and I think that it would make an interesting adventure series.
