What do you have to do to win? Hrmmm. Let’s see… OH! Since there’s so much hoopla over Outlander, leave a comment and tell me which book or series you’d most like to see on STARZ or HBO or Cinemax or at your local theatre… 🙂 I’ll pick a random winner on Friday and mail the goodies to the lucky draw next week. Please US only because there are a LOT of books!

I used to have a whole bunch of books I wanted to see made into movies, but now I’m afraid they’ll ruin them. I mean, there’s this bestselling author whose books have been and are being made into a series of movies, and he refuses to go see them because they differ so widely from what he wrote. (Although, I also think it’s bad form to gripe about it so publicly.) And the latest scuttlebutt is that they’re making the Shannara novels into a TV series – GoT style – or some such nonsense. That actually makes me want to cry.
Sooo, I’d like to say I’d love for all my friends’ books to get made into TV or movies so they can make bundles of money and write more books without having to worry how they’ll buy groceries next week, but I probably won’t enjoy the what the glam of Hollywood will do to the stories.
My question is always in the casting. With Outlander, I hadn’t read the book/series so had no preconceived notions. But yeah, I hear ya, B.E.
Hrm let’s see. I would like to see Jen Lyon’s Plus One books in a movie and one of my new fave Author Jay Crownover’s Marked Men series. 🙂
Loving Outlander. Can’t wait until Sat. Oh and I’m reading the second book, Dragonfly in Amber.
Marked Men? I’ll have to check out that series, Ash! And yeah, I’d like to see Jen’s Plus One come to the screen too. Who would you cast as Sloane?
Hmm Tom Hardy maybe? Just off top of my head. I’d have to think about that one.
And oh you need to read Crownover! Holy cow! I love her voice and her tatted up hotties. Yum!
Hrmmmm. Maybe. Is he big enough? And I’ll definitely check out Crownover. 🙂
well with the whole 50 shades coming out…. i know it won’t happen but the brie series by red phoenix. or the girl in the box series by Robert crane
Hrmmm. Two more series I’m not familiar with but will have to look up. Lots of people are really looking forward to FSOG. Me? Not so much. It’ll be interesting to see how it does at the box office!
Monica McCarty has her Highland Guard series. I would love to see these made into a movie.
Smart Bitches had a review of the first Highland Guard book today, Rae. Another series I’ll have to check out! Of course, there can’t be enough men in kilts on TV to suit me! 😆
Kilts or breechclout get me every time 😉
Truth, MT!
Oh, you have GOT to read these, Silver. You know, in your spare time. ;o)
Of which I have sooooo much of, B.E. LOLOL
Is it bad that all I really want is for them to do the whole Outlander series? That would keep them going for the next 8 years….
Not bad at all, Rebecca. I’m sure the producers are hoping for the same thing! And me, if the STARZ series stays as good as the first episode. That’s always a question…
I’d love to see the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews get made into a series. The books have some unique world-building, which I think would be very interesting translated on screen!
Yeah, Ilona’s Kate Daniels would be a great protagonist for a show. Don’t tell anyone but I like her better than Sookie. Just sayin’…. *shhhhhh* 😉
Wholly Boogers….Now that’s a question that’s more like a loaded bullet!!!! I personally really want to see author S.L. Morgan’s Ancient Guardians series become a whole series on HBO/Stars/Cimamax or into a series of movies. I would flip to see how they do Pemdas. Who they use for the main characters Levi and Reece, and for my favorite HARRISON!!!!! Yes, it would totally be an adventure in itself to see if they could even capture 1/10 of the creativity from this amazing author’s work into a show.
Gah! How have I not heard of some of these series?!? I mean…it’s not like I’m not reading . Wait. That’s a double negative. Does that make it a positive? I can’t remember… Anyway! I must check out these Ancient Guardians of which you speak, BJ. 😀
I would love to see any book of Maya Rodale. Her books have wonderful settings. I would be awesome to see on tv.
Her historicals or her bad boy billionaires, Kimberly?
Your Moonstruck would be great but casting and special effects (Sean) would blow a budget to hell*smirking*
JR Ward Black Dagger Brotherhood- thou casting would be hard to do them justice.
Laura Kaye- Hard Ink Series, Lynn Raye Harris- H.O.T Series, Heather-Killough Walden- Lost Angel Series
Have a great day Silver =)
Awww, thanks Kimber. And I’m sure that pun about Sean and blowing a budget was intended. 😉 I’m not a big BDB fan but there are a lot of y’all out there. It could be interesting. Laura’s Hard Ink could be a good basis for a series. And I must look into the Lost Angel series. Lynn Raye would be happy to see H.O.T. on the screen I’m sure! 😀
I think I would like to see Karina Halle’s Experiment in Terror made into a show on Premium TV. Also, JB Lynn’s Confessions of a Neurotic Hitwoman. They would both make for great television entertainment. I really liked the first episode of Outlander by the way. I hope it keeps up the momentum. The
I’ve heard the rumor that JB has some interest from Hollywood. I have my fingers crossed for her. I love Maggie and the rest. Karina’s series would probably fit well on the CW. *nods*
I would love to see Joanna wylde’s reaper series as a tv show on HBO. I love that series and it would go so well on that type of channel.
Yes! I’m a big Reapers fan, Rebecca. Can’t wait for the next one. With Sons of Anarchy probably coming to an end fairly soon, I think there’d definitely be room for the Reapers!
I’d like to see the Charley Davidson books on t.v. 😀
OH, hellayeah, Tiffany! Question, though. Who would you cast as Charley and far more important, who could play Reyes? Because…REYES! That’s like trying to cast Roarke, ya know?
None because they’d just screw it up. They always do. However if I could have a guarantee they wouldn’t screw it up then I’d say the Anita Blake books, the early books. 🙂
Missy, the Anita books would definitely have to be on premium cable because…whoa! But yeah, with the right casting, I’d watch…so long as they didn’t go past Obsidian Butterfly.
OMG….so excited that Lisa Renee Jones’, INSIDE OUT Series is coming to STARZ….I love to see JR WARD”S Black Dagger Brotherhood on HBO to replace True Blood….I would also love to see the Dark Hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon too. Would love to get free stuff. Bag is perfect to us for work
Lots of requests for BDB as a series, Rosemarie. Dark Hunters would be cool too, but wow–talk about a huge cast of characters! Hunters, Dreamhunters, Greek gods, at infinitum…! Still, it could be rollicking and New Orleans for the bonus! 😀
I have heard that several of B.J. Daniels books are being looked at to be made into a TV series. I hope they do a good job with it like the Hallmark Channel has done with Debbie Macomber’s books. Of Course Hallmark Channel is a classy place! BJ’s books could be there too!
Ooh! I hadn’t heard that about B.J., Laura. Awesome. Longmire was a surprise hit on A&E so I think there’s an audience for that sort of modern western/suspense story. I’d love to see her on Hallmark, or anyplace else!
Jo Beverley series of the Company of Rogues – only through book 9 so far! Or even the Highlander series by Karen Moning – those were great listening to at work! Would love to see something more than just contemporary or vampires – tried of them – too many out there. 🙂
Yes, always room for historicals, Michelle, especially if done well and there is a plethora of roguish men to…enjoy. 😉 I enjoyed Karen’s Highlanders, too.
I’d love to see P.C.Cast, House of Night Series. Also all the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. These are 2 of My favorite series. Read both 2 times. But would hate to have the storylines change in a movie or series!!!
yes,,,, we need to push a Black Dagger Brotherhood Series…It would be so amazing 🙂
Since Richelle Mead’s series is getting a look see, maybe P.C.’s NIGHT will too! That would be cool! And…another BDB vote. 😀
If I had to pick one it would be Gena Showalter’s Lords of the underworld, if I could pick more then it would be Nalini Singh’s Guild Hunter series and Belinda Borings Mystic Wolf Series… I could think of a lot more 😉
omg forgot about those books…so good all of them
I haven’t read Nalini’s Guild series. I just finished her Psy-Changling and I think SyFy needs to grab it for a series! Gena did an amazing job with the worldbuilding in Lords so yeah…I could see a series. 😀
I have always thought that JR Ward and her delicious Black Dagger Brotherhood would make an awesome series for t.v. Someone should really make it happen. Especially now that True Blood is done this year.
yes I agree 110%….This needs to happen
See? I knew the BDB folks would all come out to vote. 😆
I think Linda Label Miller’s series about the Creed boys would be a good show.
Yes, Linda! Linda Lael Miller does “modern west/cowboys” in a most excellent manner. This is another series that has Hallmark Channel written all over it! 😀
I would love to see Melody Anne’s books that feature the Anderson Family as a series.
Oooh. Yeah, Cindy. Good pick!
I actually just started re-reading the Dragon Riders of Pern, and there is rumor of Warner Brothers is looking at that as their next big Fantasy series of movies– but another series I just re-read that I think might be fun would be the Darwath Trilogy (5 book trilogy) by Barbara Hambly – (although I wouldn’t mind Tea with the Black Dragon or the Winterlands… ))
Oooh, MT. More good suggestions! Special effects have finally caught up enough that Pern could be awesome. 😀
