The last thing I should be doing this Readathon is a mini challenge since I’m so behind. But I couldn’t resist Kathrin’s! I’ve taken each section and answered it below.

Now, what I want you to do for the mini-challenge is to search your memory for books and book series that might also work as a TV series. Which are they, and do you already have some actors in mind for them? (If so, you might even post links to a photo of the actor!)

While I haven’t read the Sookie Stackhouse books, I did think the Kitty Norville books would make an excellent television series. The concept of a talk radio host who deals with the paranormal lends itself to many storylines and ideas with the possibility of season long story arcs. (which I enjoy) I have no idea as far as actors go…there’s a reason I guess that I’m not a casting director! This series would need a huge budget for the werewolfs to look real!

Now think about the movies or TV series you’ve watched. Which of them would you read as a book as well? What are they about and what genre would they be?

Most of my favorite series do have books because they are the kind of shows you obsess over. Or they came from books to begin with! But I can say that I’ve read some of the Buffy season 8 comics….and they’re interesting.

And finally, think about the books that have already been made into a movie or a TV series. And what about those movies and TV series that were made into a book?

I watch Gossip Girl and Bones which both came from books. I never read the books, though. I also heard that the Vampire Diaries is shooting a pilot which will hopefully be picked up by the CW..guess we find that out soon. I love LOST and Buffy and both of them have series of books that were written for die hard fans.
