I'm a big romance/erotica book fan so I would love to see The Crossfire series on big screen.

I have been waiting since I was a little kid to see Ender's Game as a movie and it is finally happening!

The Night Circus would be a great ensemble cast movie. The book really played on the senses and I could totally see it coming to life. Just hope a good team would be behind it.

I would love to see Jenifer Crusie's Bet me to be turned into a movie. Simply loved it.

So unfair a question... I'd like to see my books made into movies, purely selfish on my part. Ha ha. However, Agreed on Jennifer, also Carl Haaisan, and some historicals. We need a few new swash bucklers.

Street Boys
The true story of a handful of street kids (boys and girls) who hold off an entire German Panzer Division in WW2. Amazing story, and written so beautifully. My son read the book in one day, and has re-read it since more than once. This story should be told, not only in print, but also on the big screen.

Any book by Kelley Armstrong into a movie is bound to be good.

Not at all interested in seeing The Mortal Instruments series - the books were just ok... can't imagine the movies being any good.

One I think would be great for women - "Conversations with the Fat Chick by Liza Palmer"

it's a great book for any who haven't read it - and it'd be good to see that being 'average' is not being 'fat'
and loving yourself leads to positive changes inside and out....

I really disliked that book actually - thought it was boring and overhyped... however, I think you're right in saying it'd make an excellent movie... I'd definitely watch that.

Ahab's Wife by Sena Jeter Naslund !!! or even her other book .. Four Spirits. Both wonderful novels.
Highly recommended.

Sometimes Hollywood falls short on war movies. I just read a book titled, "Lions of Kandahar" which takes you on the epic battles in southern Afghanistan for a very important piece of real estate......if adapted into a movie, it would be great.

I couldn't agree more! Conversations is one of my favorites. I laughed, cried and raised my fist in silent triumph throughout the book. It is easy to relate, and I think that it would do great on the big screen! I would go several times (if done right!), and bring friends!

In fact, any of Liza Palmer's books would do great. They all have a relatable amount of drama, romance, seriousness, hilarity and crisp wit. Her Nowhere but Home would be on my list for sure.
