Whether it’s book to film adaptations, an ugly new Netlfix book cover or the announcement of a tv show inspired by a book: there’s a lot of crossover between literature and the world of film. I’ve also got some movie reviews to mix it up!
Why I’m Obsessed With The New Movie ‘Don’t Look Up’
Jennifer Lawrence. Leonardo DiCaprio. Meryl Streep. Timothee Chalamet. Whether you saw it for the all star cast or the strong social commentary, it’s obvious that Don’t Look Up will be one of the strongest films of 2022. The film follows a group of scientists as they struggle to wake the world up to a giant…
Empowering Feminist Film On Netflix: MOXIE
Did you know that today is International Women’s Day? And I thought what better way to celebrate than with sharing a brilliant film that I watched on Netflix. Moxie is a celebration. It follows Vivian; a shy teenager sick of the way girls are treated at her school. So, inspired by her mother’s rebel teen…
#TTT: Book To Film Adaptations Hall Of Fame
As always, this great tag was originally created by The Broke and the Bookish but is now hosted over at That Artsy Reader Girl. Today’s prompt is a free for all, so I thought I’d look at some of my favourite book to film adaptations! It’s so hard to compare books and films because they are such different consuming…
#Cinema Sunday: One Day Film vs Book

READY PLAYER ONE: the film or the book?
I’ve completed my first 10 book blogs (yay!) so I thought I might do something different, so here it is. Ready Player One is a sci-fi book set in the future, where humans have burnt up the ozone layer and pretty much all other life forms; their only escape is a free virtual reality called the…
One Time the Film Was Better than the Book (Yes I said It)
The book is always better than the film, right? That’s a rule I almost always live by. But there are some exceptions (I binged the Netflix version of Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events during lockdown, and I hate to admit I preferred it to the books. At least in this, Snicket’s lengthy explanations…
Discussion and Predictions: Shadow And Bone TV Show
Shadow and Bone comes out TODAY! It’s been this far-off date for so long that it feels strange I can now see it in my continue watching pile on Netflix. Or watch again because I will make some waffles and finish it in a day. When I first heard Shadow and Bone would be a…
