We came up with some of our favourite reads that we’d love to see on the big screen. They’re all uniquely written books and movie adaptations would be wonderful!
10) 100 Years Of Solitude — Gabriel García Márquez
The novel tells the multi-generational story of the Buendía family, whose patriarch, José Arcadio Buendía, founds the town of Macondo, the metaphoric Columbia. It’s one of the greatest books and could be the greatest movie ever if adapted into one.

7) The Catcher In The Rye — J.D Salinger
A beautiful classic! Salinger refused from giving out movie rights to a production house so there won’t be a movie. But a reader can dream!

It’s set in Paris and includes a hottie French guy: what’s not to love?!

2) The Lost Hero (Heroes of Olympus series) — Rick Riordan
The extraordinarily adventurous journey of seven demigods from two different camps come together to fight the second great prophecy.
Rick Riordan takes Greek mythology to a completely different level with the Heroes of Olympus series. The book was published right after Riordan completed the Percy Jackson books, and received just as much recognition as the previous one’s did.

1) Shatter me — Tahereh Mafi
Tahereh has a unique way of portraying a dystopian sci-fi world. The lead character, Juliette is one of the strongest characters we’ve read about in a while. The writing is very different to what one usually reads, there are passages and lines that have been crossed out, making it a lot more appealing. Juliette is torn between Adam — who she thinks she loves, and Warner — someone she might truly love. Learning to control the disaster of a power she’s gifted with just adds to the difficulties she’s facing.
If turned into a movie, this one could be a huge hit!
