Top 5 Monday Rants

Hey fellow book lovers! It's another posting of Top 5 Monday Rants. This week's topic is: Books into movies that I'm excited to see. I've been seeing a trend in the movie business lately, and they all seem to be snatching up books and making them on the big screen. It's fun seeing your favorite books come to life, but if it's not done right, it could end in a disaster, and you'd have a lot of angry fans. Hopefully that won't be the case with these. On to the list. In no particular order:

1) Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters. Yes, I know originally this was a child's fairy tale, but the movie looks like it'd be an awesome action flick, and I love the twist that they're adults that hunt witches. I can't wait to see where the story goes.

2) Second is Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stol. Now admittedly, I was not able to finish the book, but the movie looks awesome. I really did try to read this book twice, but for some reason, I always get stuck in the same place. I'd definitely go see the movie though.

3) The Mortal Instruments by Cansandra Clare. I'd read the first three books and loved the idea. I'd stop reading the series because it took forever to get the latest book out, and by then, I'd forgotten the plot. But it is a good series, and I'm excited for the movie version too.

4) Anna Dressed In Blood by Kendare Blake. I actually just caught wind of this one, and was first seen through Kate at Reading Under The Willow Tree. You can see more about her post and the article HERE. Apparently it might get picked up and produced by Stephenie Meyer. If they ever do get around to making the movie, hopefully they'll do it justice.

5) Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion. Now I haven't read the book yet on this one. I'm anxiously waiting my copy at the library. And those who know me, know that I'm not a fan of zombies, but the movie looks promising and funny. Hopefully it'll be just as good.

That's it for my Top 5 Monday Rants. Hope you all enjoyed it, and happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! :)
