So with The Fault In Our Stars, If I Stay and The Maze Runner amongst others hitting cinemas this year. What is everyone most excited to see? Also what has been your favourite book adaptation so far? I thought Jenny Downham's Before I Die/Now is Good was really rather special. I hadn't managed to read the book before I saw the film (I know, I know) but I have read it since and it's amazing! To be honest I don't think I was aware of the book beforehand. I brought the DVD (because I love Jeremy Irvine!) and The Perks Of Being A Wallflower at the same time and Now Is Good is way ahead as being my favourite. I've seen it many times and cry ugly tears everytime! I love learning of book adaptations early on because I get to add new books to my radar and then my TBR list. I have quite a few books that I've not got around to reading yet but have brought because they've been adapted for film. How I Live Now, Perks and I Am Number Four to name but a few!

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a beautiful book! I really loved I am Number Four, but haven't really enjoyed the books that followed it, so I gave up! I've seen the film for How I live now, but not read the book (guilty, I know) and I really enjoyed it!

I loved the adaptation of Before I Die, I read the book before I watched the film and both were so beautiful and made me cry too. I also read Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick and I really preferred the book to the film, although Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper were both brilliant in it.

I managed to read Silver Lining before the film but only a few days before. It was already out on DVD so I brought it a few days later! I loved both! Have you read Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock? I watched It's A Funny Kind Of Story for the first time the other day. I must read the book soon! Such a shame about the author mind!
