Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's theme is Movies/TV Shows That Would Have Made Amazing Books (Submitted by Sabrina @ Notes From a Paper Plane Nomad) but I am going to do the most recent examples of where I have seen a movie or TV series based on a book or read a book associated with a series, or a couple of can't wait for the TV series.
The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas - I have recently watched two French movies based on the books. They were really good adaptations
One Day by David Nicholls - I started watching this series a few weeks ago. I need to get back to it.
Bridgerton series by Julia Quinn - I am looking forward to season 3 coming out soon very soon
Masters of the Air by Donald Miller - We just finished watching this series last week.
Lessons in Chemistry - I read the book late last year and then watched the TV series
No 1 Ladies Detective Agency - I am very close to finishing my current audio book which is book no. 10000 in the series of the same name. I watched the TV adaptation many years ago and very much enjoyed it!
All the Light You Cannot See by Anthony Doerr- We watched this TV series recently.
A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles - I have read another of Amor Towles books, but not this one yet, but I will be watching this!
Sweet Bean Paste by Durian Sukegawa - The movie is just called Sweet Bean
Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams - This is a bit of a curve ball because whilst I did watch this it was a play rather than on a screen!
I'm eagerly looking forward to watching Gentleman in Moscow and Lessons in Chemistry.
ReplyDeleteThis was a fun twist.

I like how you share some adaptations you've seen recently! I have Lessons in Chemistry and The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency on my TBR.

One Day as a show confuses me. There was already a movie and I don't know how it would come across as a show unless you changed the ending.
ReplyDeleteGood list. In spite of not liking some of the changes I did, overall really enjoy The No 1 Ladies tv series. I love the books on audio. Nothing ever really happens, but I love that!
ReplyDeleteI watched All the Light You Cannot See, but I liked the book a lot more than the show.
ReplyDeleteI used to love the Three Musketeers movie with Michael York, Oliver Reed, Raquel Welch, Faye Dunaway, et al--and then I watched the TV series a few years ago and fell in love with that version.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize Masters of the Air was a book, but the series is on my must-watch list.
I loved the Lessons in Chemistry book but had some issues with the changes made for the series.
The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series was so good and so true to the books--major disappointment that it ended so soon (I think the director or producer passed away unexpectedly).
Loved All the Light We Cannot See book so much I read it twice but haven't had the nerve to watch the series. Also loved Gentleman in Moscow--didn't know a series will be coming.
Fabulous list that resonated with me!
I did not know A Gentleman in Moscow was made into a show. Will has to check it out.

I hope you enjoyed All the Light we Cannot See. I would like to watch this one in the future! Wonderful list.
