This week I'm going with Top Ten Books That Would Make a Good Movie or Show. I did this back in 2016 so let's see if they took my advice. They DID- Panic. Which I liked. And they canceled.      

Vitro is the story of a girl who goes to an isolated island to find her mother, who is a scientist there, but when she arrives she finds that they are developing humans from test tube embryos- almost like clones- and things of course go badly. I think this would be a great movie or an even better show. 

The Cats of Tanglewood Forest is about a girl who turns into a cat. She of course regains her human form but but not until after some thrilling adventures and talking animals.

They made this one!!!!!!!  

Alright- moving on. This would make a good movie with the south Pacific locales and the secrets and lies aboard a yacht...

Au Revoir, Crazy European Chick is a fun book about Perry who takes their exchange student to the prom- only to find out she is a Lithuanian assassin with a job in NYC. She drags Perry along and he'll be lucky to survive. 

A School for Unusual Girls could make a great movie with the right cast- there are four girls including Georgie the main character and if the casting were right this could be a great ensemble.  

Eight Hundred Grapes would be great on streaming. Georgia runs back home after discovering her fiance has been keeping a secret from her. She has to analyze her life and decide what she truly wants- marry the man of her dreams (?) and move to London or stay and take over the vineyard. Or something else. 

They made this one too!!! On Netflix but I haven't watched yet... 

I would be all over this. A girl who wakes up on a subway track with no memory of who she is- but there are people after her in a twisted game where people are hunted for sport. 

Emilie and the Hollow World would be tough to make work but if they could pull it off it'd be good. It's sort of steampunk meets Jules Verne with airships and a hollow world, a great ocean with isolated islands and a fascinating merfolk.  

This one is a personal fave. Planet of Exile is about a long lost colony on a distant planet who are stranded and slowly dying. It has a lot of similarities to Game of Thrones with seasons that  generations and a threat from the north. Rolery is a native girl who falls in love with a man from the colony, and their forbidden love must survive the onset of winter and a barbarian invasion from the north. And not just barbarians but the dreaded snowghouls as well.
