Book to Movie/Audio {Monthly Motif May Check In}
I’ve been really looking forward to May’s motif. There are so many movies I want to see this year!
Book to Movie or Audio
“Read a book that has a movie based off of it. For an extra challenge, see the movie or listen to the audio book as well.“
5 Books to Movies I’m Most Excited About in 2017 might give you some good ideas. Just remember that the movie doesn’t have to be coming out in 2017- choose a book from any time period.
Be sure to comment below all month long with the books you read as well as whether you saw the movie or also listened to the audio (and which you liked better.)

I read A Monster Calls. I cried all the way through this book. Don’t know if I could watch the movie. Very good book – I gave it 5 stars.

I went with the classic The Secret Garden. Sorry to check in so late, I had been ill. Lots of reading time for me though 🙂

I read another set of Sherlock Holmes stories, ‘The Memoirs Of Sherlock Holmes’ one of which was ‘The Final Problem’ featuring Moriarty that has definitely been adapted on numerous occasions.

I went with ‘Hidden Figures’ by Margot Lee Shetterly. I still haven’t seen the movie yet, but the book was excellent. My review:

I read The Circle Bynder Dave Eggers. My daughter did too so we had our own in house book club discussion over it. She and I are on the same page.

Just finished readiing The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. Will be watching the movie tonight. Poor Dally, I cried. I loved him so much. Johnny was the only thing he cared about and losing him was just too much. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1981842993

I read Phantoms by Dean Koontz. I’ll be watching the movie this weekend. I can’t watch it tonight — it’ll be too scary! I’ll review it after I’ve watched it, but I cannot imagine I’ll like the movie better. The book was awesome!!!
