[book tag] BOOKS MADE INTO MOVIES @StaceyisSassy @ElizaReadAlot @theVrsha @potteralda

Angy from Collector of Book Boyfriends tagged me on twitter for this fun post.
This tag is about movies based off of books.
My husband prefers I don’t read a book and then watch the movie right away because I’ve ruined a lot of movies with my constant, “That’s not how it happened in the book… it happened this way.” 

10. Pride and Prejudice

About 5 years ago a friend brought over her dvd of this and we watched it together.  Then a couple years ago I read it.  I really want to watch it again.

9. The Notebook

I read this book and loved it.  Then my friend convinced me to watch the movie because she loved the movie more than the book.  I really enjoyed the movie but I’m partial to the book.

8. The Help

This is a rare moment where I liked the movie and the book equally.  Well done!

7. Fight Club

Well, I know I’ve told this story before but Kim convinced me to watch Fight Club and after watching it I had to read the book.  The book and the movie are very different.  The basic story line is the same but lots of differences.

6. Paper towns

I recently read this book and now I think I’ll watch this with my teens to see what they think.

5. Flipped 

Another book I read but haven’t seen the movie.  I really want to see it but I haven’t been able to find it.  It seems like it would make a cute movie.

4. Twilight

Like every other female about ten years ago I read the books.  Then I went with my friends to see the movies.  The first movie drove me nuts because of how different some things were but I had to distant myself from the book to be able to enjoy the movie.  Movie Edward wasn’t who I pictured in my head for the ‘Book Edward.’

3. The Fault In Our Stars

Yep, I read the book and then a couple years later saw the movie.  In the meantime I forgot a major part that happened in the book.  Imagine my shock when I realized the part I forgot.  *lol*

2. Fifty Shades of Grey

Of course, I read the books many times and then saw the movie this past February with my friend.  It was weird to see it on the big screen.  When I read this book 3 years ago that this would be on the big screen.  Now, 2 more movies to go in the next couple years.

1. Outlander

I listened to the audio of this and then watched the TV series.  I’m so thankful I did it that way because the beginning of the book would have bored me to death had I not had the TV series to look forward.  Now, I can’t wait for season 2 to start!

Can’t wait to see yours!
