Ooh.. that's why I don't usually like shows/movies based on books especially if I've read them already but if I haven't then I do!

I'm mostly not reading these books for now but I know if the writers ain't involved a lot gets lost in adaptation. Happened in Shadow and Bone as well but as I haven't read, I don't have much qualms. Do watch it, it's beautiful!

I actually find myself oscillating quite a bit when it comes to book-movie adaptations.

With LOTR I watched the Fellowship of the Ring and was so fascinated that I read the book in the hiatus between part 1 and 2, and though JRR’s world building is impeccable, when it comes to sheer entertainment I still prefer the movies. But then I didn’t feel the same about the Hobbit Trilogy.

With P&P I have usually loved every iteration of the book, each one brings its own spin and different interpretation to the book - but then that’s how iconic P&P is! I still think the BBC version came the closest to the book, but I have enjoyed the other versions too including Lost in Austen!

I recently watched Death on the Nile and did not enjoy it. The book though? Agatha Christie does not disappoint but I guess in this case having read the books takes away the important element of surprise at the denouements that are the most astounding. But still, I enjoyed David Suchet’s Poirot series and the Miss Marple TV adaptations.

So yeah, it can be a hit or miss with me…

Shadow and Bone is YA fantasy right? With Ben Barnes? I did catch a glimpse of the trailer. Perhaps might watch it some day, I need to be in a certain mood to watch fantasy. After the disaster that was GoT I feel like staying away from that genre and keep going back to my fav LoTR if I need my fantasy fix! 😆

Now I'm leaning towards #TeamDON'TReadTheBooks lol...Because as Riya dee said your expectations WILL SKYROCKET surely!

TVWLM is an AMAZING book altogether and I truly have a lot of expectations from the series.

Which might add as a drawback because I guess no matter what they show I as a reader will always have a slab to compare it with. SO yeahhh that's that!

You can lay off...but do read after watching the series. 😃

PS : Tagging Prema Dee because we were having a discussion about reading the book next week. 😆

Ha ha, I began reading and then skipped ahead right to chapter 16 and 17 and that’s where I’m at right now.. 😆

P.S. Did the online version of the book not have the whole book?

Agatha.. queen!! Reading is fun!

Narnia is one of my favourite readings, yet to read The Hobbit and LOTR, though I have read portions of it!

Shadow and Bone won't disappoint you mumma, I swear.. ufff .. the characters are sooo beautiful 🥺🥺🥺 second season is almost here! You'll love it! I haven't watched GoT but this is wayyy better!❤️

Haan I have also read that one at some point. Can’t recall if it’s a truncated version though!

Oh man! This book I borrowed also has the second epilogue and I’m dying! It’s GOLD!

This is why A and K are my favs! I was laughing like an idiot throughout. The show misses so much of that humour!

My expectations were through the solar system now they're just through the roof...Hoping to get them more lower to avoid the hurt YO!!! 🤡

From the second epilogue: I’m dying 🤡 🤣
