Have you ever come across a book that sounded really interesting, but then you just never got around to reading it, because well you possibly got distracted by other equally or more interesting books? For me, that’s exactly what happened with this book/series. I found the premise really interesting, but clearly never interesting enough to…
Book Adaptations
3 Book To Screen Blockbusters Reviewed
If you’ve been following this blog, you know that early in the year I did a post on 10 Book to Movie Adaptations coming out in 2018. I had originally written the post as a resource for you guys, but as it happens it’s proven super useful for myself, to keep a track of all…
10 Book to Movie Adaptations Coming Out in 2018
If you’ve known me or followed this blog for any length of time, you know that I’m a big fan of book to movie adaptations. Of-course I always prefer to read the book first (unless I plan to skip it – which is rare), and more often than not, I find the book better than…
Wonder by R. J. Palacio – Movie Review
It’s rare that I actually go to a theater to catch a movie these days. Even rarer that I see a movie on release day. But ever since I read the book, I knew Wonder was a tale worth making an exception for. Wonder is the story of August (Auggie) Pullman, a 10 year old…

The Girl on The Train – Movie Review (Spoiler Free)
We all know, at-least we bookworms do – that the book is always better than the movie – always! Okay, maybe not always, there was an exception; I had found The Notebook movie light years better than the book. Anyway, I digress. Coming to The Girl on The Train – this movie was okay, as…
The many screen adaptations of Pride and Prejudice
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a producer in search of a good fortune, will try to adapt Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. But if you need proof, then look up the number of adaptations that this story has inspired! If you’ve read my last post, you know that I loved the book Pride & Prejudice…
The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks | Book and Movie Review
This was my very first exposure to Nicholas Sparks’s writing, although I have seen a couple of movies (Safe Haven & The Best of Me) that are based on his books. While ‘Safe Haven’ was a pleasant watch, I really loved ‘The Best of Me’, which in-spite of a disagreeable end, left quite an impression on me. This…
