Hello everyone, happy Thursday! I hope everyone’s week is going well. Today I’m going to be doing the Listicle Tag. I was tagged by both Lois & David @LoisReadsBooks and Birdie @Birdie Bookworm. Thank you both of you! Let’s get started!
Rules
- Create your own listicle tag, using the prompt from the person who tagged you.
- Tag the creator of the post (not-so-modern-girl!) so that I can read all your brilliant posts and see how the joy of listicles is being spread.
- Nominate as many people as you want!
- Set those people the subject/prompt of their listicle post!
5 Books you would recommend the next generation to read!
- This is always going to be The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. Inspiring, and a great piece of work showing the not so pleasantย attributes of being forever young.
- Fan Girl by: Rainbow Rowell. Teaches a lot of lessons in writing and reading.
- The Book of Awesome by Neil Patricha. This makes you stop and remember the good in life.
- Any Stephen King book (although 11/22/63 is my favourite) to see how horror and terror is done right.
- Also anything by Roald Dahl. (My favourite being The BFG) All of his books have such great meanings behind them, great for children and adults alike!
Name 5 Exceptional Book to Movie Adaptations
- First and foremost Harry Potter was done really, really well.
- The Last Song. From the book by Nicholas Sparks, my favourite of them all, and I know that things got changed but it still told the story and got the point across.
- The Time Traveller’s Wife. From the book byย Audrey Niffenegger. This was done really well.
- The Da Vinci Code. From the book by Dan Brown. I enjoyed all of those movies, they were just as good as the books. Or well I thought at the time… it’s been years since I saw those movies.
- Alice in Wonderland. From the book by Lewis Carroll. I liked both Disney remakes, they were both very well done.
Man I could keep going, there are quite a few movies I actually enjoyed.

The DaVinci Code was a good adaptation, for sure. I almost liked watching it more than reading it!

This is a pretty cool tag! Books you want the next generation to read? Wow, I could probably list at least 200 right here and now haha. All of Rainbow Rowell’s books are so amazing! Also, I have tagged you for a book tag (which I actually made myself!) https://btweenthepages.com/2017/05/25/the-would-you-rather-book-tag-my-own-creation/

The Picture of Dorian Grey is such a fantastic book! I adore the movie for The Time Travellerโs Wife, it’s actually one of my favourite movies. Although I haven’t read the book, for whatever reason. Also the Harry Potter movies are amazing! Thank you for tagging me. ๐ โค

Thanks so much for the tag Meghan. I’ve never seen this one before but I love books and I love making lists so it’s a combination of two of my favourite things! ๐
I love Fangirl, it’s definitely a book everyone should read, an important coming-of-ages story! ๐ Also I love the Harry Potter and the Alice in Wonderland movie adaptations, all the Alice in Wonderland adaptations actually. ๐
Thanks again for the tag.
