1 Year Blogoversary Day 25 Andrea From The Bookish Babes Guest Post

25 Days in to the Celebration and I have with me today...

Andrea from The Bookish Babes




Thank you for stopping in Andrea and away you go...



Hi, guys! First and foremost, I want to congratulate Heather on her first year blogging. Blogging is so fun, and so tough and anyone who lasts a year deserves major applause.
Secondly, I would like to thank Heather for asking me to write guest post; and especially for making the topic super-easy and fun. I had my list in my head within five minutes. So here we go.

Top Five Books I Want to Be Made Into Movies
5.) The Vincent Boys, by Abbi Glines
Why? Two words: Beau Vincent. This is a book that is hard to explain if you don’t know Beau. He was the bad boy with a hidden heart of gold. And, if I were casting the movie, I would look for a young Josh Lucas.
4.) The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, by Jennifer E. Smith
Why? Have you read it?? This book would make the perfect movie. It reminded me of Serendipity, Love Actually, and Valentine’s Day. You know, those great movies that are sort of lighthearted, but catch you somewhere along the way and knock you on your butt. But, I want to be clear here. Oliver would have to be perfectly cast. Perfectly.

3.) The Iron Fey Series, by Julie Kagawa
I’m hesitant to list this one because it would be extremely tricky. The Nevernever was so beautifully built by Kagawa. I know it would be so difficult to replicate, but definitely worth the risk. Could you even imagine Ash and Puck on the big screen? Sa-woon. And the kissy scenes! Squee! And Grimalkin? I firmly stand by my position that he is the best cat ever. Yeah, that would be a fantastic movie.

2.) The Soul Screamers Series by Rachel Vincent
Where do I even start? For starters, the Netherworld, that place is so freaking creepy. But mainly, I would love to see that cast. A wholesome, sweet girl as Kaylee; a hot, sweet guy as Nash; and a guy who could be snarky and smirky as Tod, but still be likeable. Yeah, I could spend hours googling images in my search for the perfect cast.

1.) WVMP Radio Series, by Jeri Smith-Ready
Surprisingly, this is the only adult series on my list. For anyone who knows me, this is no surprise. I talk about this series all the time. I’ve become a bit of a bully about it. From the moment I met Ciara, a reformed (in progress) con artist, I was hooked. She’s smart, wry, realistic, and the ultimate in cool lead characters. And then you have the vampires. Trust me when I say, these vampires are unlike any you’ve read before. Music (awesome music, in fact) makes up a huge part of this series, fitting since the vampires are DJs. And then there’s Shane. Shane McAllister is my number one fictional guy. It would take the perfect actor to play tall, quiet, but passionate Shane. This series is the ultimate in cool.

Wow. I had a lot more to say than I intended, which is how it usually goes with me. I hope I’ve slightly entertained you. Thanks again, Heather, for having me. Congratulations!

  4. Hmm, I actually haven't read any of those books/series *shamefaced* Buuut I have been looking at the Iron Fey series and would really like to give it a read! And of course I'm hoping to read TSPoLaFS sometime in the near future :) Great picks, I'm definitely interested in checking a few of these out now!

  6. Yes I would love The Vincent Boys to be made into a movie. Haha I too loved the book because of Beau. Wow he was so sexy, Abbi Glines definitely knows how to write her boys. The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight would be so cute to see. I can already picture Oliver being played by Jim Sturgess. Oh I really hope they make these into movies that would be totally awesome.

  7. I still need to read Jeri's other series! I'm so behind, and I've heard nothing but amazing things. I think Statistical would be an excellent movie! And any of Rachel Vincent's novels could be a movie. It's ridiculous!

  8. Great post, Andrea! I would LOVE to see The Iron Fey made into a movie. Ash <3 *swoon*! I have The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight on my bookshelf from BEA -- I've got to read it when I'm finished with my awesome signed copy of Clockwork Prince from the supa-amazing Heather. Happy Blogoversary, love! <3 :)

  11. Hi, Andrea! You go, girl, guest-posting and all! I really need to read The Vincent Boys, and the rest of the Soul Screamers series. I keep saying I'm behind on that. I need to not be anymore!

    And, The Iron Fey books would make incredible movies that I'd never stop watching, provided Ash and Puck were to be as luscious as they are in the books. Never get anything done ever again...
