So yesterday I did a little post about books and movies..blah blah blah. Today, I have a list! Yup. I've sat, reflected and researched some definite upcoming movies, and some maybes. I won't bore you with any more drivel today, I'll get right to it.


 Let's take a look at some upcoming releases, shall we? :) The list below are definite adaptations. Mr IMDB assisted me with this research, always a trustworthy guy ha ha.

- Fifty Shades of Grey - What I wanna know is, how the hell are they going to do this? Let's fake it, 99% of the book is sex, not just any sex either. How will they work this out? This could seriously make or break this whole series for me. No pressure though ;)

- The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 - I already loved the first two, I'm not too worried about this one, thank god!

- Significance - I read the series a while ago, and was sorta half and half. I couldn't decide between really liking it and loving it. That sounds super weird. It makes sense to me. It's all about finding your significant, your soul mate, if you will. Honestly, it could be a beautiful movie.

- If I Stay - I sobbed whilst reading the book. Big, fat tears. When I first saw the cast, I was all oh hell no purely because, regardless of the fact that we are told Mia's age, I still imagined her to be older. What, it worked better for me. Now? I'm all good with it. I just hope the movie makes me cry big, fat tears too!

- The Maze Runner - I haven't read the book yet, but It's high on my TBR list! Another one that seems different, in a good way of course!

- The Morganville Vampires - Okay, technically, this is going to be a web series, not a movie, but it still has a right to be on the list! I'm skeptical with this one. Really. Huh.




The following list includes books that, according to IMDB will be adapted.

- Obsidian - This book was awesome. I think I need a reread right now. This one, I really hope makes it to the big screen!

- Before I fall - A stand alone novel that had me in tears. Way sad guys. What would you do if you had to relive your last day on earth over and over again until you right all your wrongs?

- Shiver - Another one I'm excited about! How long has it been since we had a good ol' werewolf movie? No vampires or other creatures, just pure wolf entertainment?

- Heist Society - The books are YA, entertaining nonetheless. It sure will be something different to the usual paranormal/dystopian/contemporary romance movies that seem to dominate the big screen.

- Gallagher Girls - Another YA series that I found entertaining regardless of it's target audience. Again, it's slightly different that what we usually expect to find in cinemas these days. What would you do if you're all girls school was really a secret training facility for the CIA? Man, I'd love that shit!

- Beautiful Disaster - Okay, so I know film rights and all that sorta thing have been sorted, but I'm really unsure about this. I thought I would love nothing more than to see my all time favourite book hit the cinema, but now, I'm unsure. Really, what if I hate it? I doubt I will, but come on. It could ruin my dream Travis :(

- Paper Towns - This book confused me. I have no idea why, it just did. I felt like something was missing. I think it will be a nice little one off movie though!

- Firelight - Dragons! Hurrah! I did a happy wiggle when I read this one. I've had a weird obsession with them since Harry Potter. Super happy about this one guys.


So, what do you think?

That's all for today's mini, random post. And hey, it's Friday! Smiles all around.
