Happy Tuesday, bloggers,
Netflix is a little fickle, I find. Either you get great adaptations of your favourite books, or you get shoddy ones and wish you didn’t watch them. Or worse, you find your “it” series, only to have Netflix cancel it in the first season.
Top Ten Tuesday, originally created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, is a weekly meme. The next prompt is books that should be adapted into Netflix shows/movies.
Enjoy the read!
The City of Brass (The Daevabad Trilogy)
I don’t think people have stopped talking about the series. It’s one of the most sought-after ones I’ve ever seen. What intrigues me is the main character and the djinn storyline.
The Gilded Wolves
I adore Roshani’s series, so there’s little chance I’d leave it off of my list. The author has crafted such beautifully thought-out storytelling that I’d love to see it on the small screen.
Uppercut Princess (The Heights Crew)
The Heights Crew is quite known in the romance community. It blew up, and readers haven’t looked back since. I adore each and every character, especially Kyla, the main character. This RH series would be great for the small screen.
Just Drop Out (Hannaford Prep)
Hannaford Prep is something that snuck up on me. I didn’t expect to love it. I didn’t expect to obsess over it. But here I am, desperately looking into what I’d have to sell to get more spin-offs and a TV show.
Corrupt (Devil’s Night)
Ah, one of my favourite series of all times. I didn’t spend years pining over it, but I feel as if I have. Penelope has created an intricate storyline that you can’t help but want to see it on your TV.
I haven’t read any of these yet, but I do agree that Netflix can be hit or miss. I especially dislike it when they cancel a series just when I’ve gotten into it. 😉

I would love to see Devil’s Night brought to life! Love Penelope Douglas.

I love your introduction to this—because really, who wants to see an amazing book get a mediocre adaptation? Also, The Gilded Wolves has been on my TBR pile for far too long … really gotta get around to that.

The last three are new to me. I wasn’t a huge fan of The Gilded Wolves, but I think it would make a great movie.

Great list! I think The City of Brass is being adapted for Netflix? I’m sure I read something somewhere about it, which is exciting. 😀

There are a lot of fantasy series, like Gilded Wolves, that would make great movies or tv.

From the covers alone, they look like they’d be good choices. https://pmprescott.blogspot.com/2020/08/ttt-081820.html

I haven’t read City of Brass yet but from what I hear and from the cover (and the synopsis) I think it’d be a really interesting show! Great list 🙂

I just got Netflix this month, so I haven’t yet experienced the heartbreak of having a favorite show canceled. I’m not looking forward to it!
