~Top Ten Tuesday~ Book to Movie Adaptations I'm Waiting On

                Hello everyone!  Top Ten Tuesday is just how it sounds, a topic is picked and we put our Top Ten for that in a post and share and check out everyone’s answers.  Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

The top today is: Top Ten Book to Movie Adaptations I’m Waiting On (or ones I still need to watch)

Mockingjay Part 2- duh it's almost here!  Next week!

The 5th Wave- I need to read this book!!! But the trailer looks great and I've heard nothing but love so I'm there.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them- More Harry Potter world SOLD!

Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children- I am working on finishing this trilogy but I liked the first two and am curious how they work it into the film.

Allegiant- I have to continue on...we all do.  Have to know how they end things since so much has already changed.

Fifty Shades Darker- I liked the books and the first movie I'm excited for the next one I just wish it was coming out sooner.


The next ones are just some I've heard are coming/sold/production but not a ton of data on...yet

All of the Maggie Stiefvater books! I just adore her books.  Shiver, The Scorpio Races, The Raven Boys all optioned so I have three to wait on.

Legend- I think seeing Day and June brought to life would be interesting with the dystopian aspect and revolution

Shadow & Bone- All the different Grisha powers played out and the Darkling.

An Ember in the Ashes- Loved it and I think it would be visually stunning though the masks might creep me out

~Waiting on Wednesday~ The Rose Society by Marie Lu

                “Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.  Basically books that are not yet out that we are dying to get our hands on.  This week’s pick is:

The Rose Society by Marie Lu
Out October 13th

Once upon a time, a girl had a father, a prince, a society of friends.  Then they betrayed her, and she destroyed them all.

From Goodreads:
Adelina Amouteru’s heart has suffered at the hands of both family and friends, turning her down the bitter path of revenge.  Now known and feared as the White Wolf, she and her sister flee Kenettra to find other Young Elites in the hopes of building her own army of allies.  Her goal:  to strike down the Inquisition Axis, the white-cloaked soldiers that murdered her love, the Crown Prince Enzo Valenciano.

But Adelina is no heroine.  Her powers, fed only by fear and hate, have started to grow beyond her  control.  She does not trust her newfound Elite friends.  Teren Santoro, leader of the Inquisition, wants her dead.  And her former friends, Raffaele and the Dagger Society, want to stop her thirst for vengeance, Adelina struggles to cling to the good within her.  But how can someone be good, when her very existence depends on darkness?

My thoughts:
                I read The Young Elites with a friend, last month and it was amazing.  I wasn’t sure what to expect I hadn’t read a middle grade book (that’s what I heard this was labeled as) since I hadn’t read one in forever!  Not what I would expect kids read but what do I know.  It was amazing and intense.  I was completely floored and I wanted more.  I’m also super happy I didn’t have to wait long for this!  A positive of procrastination! 


                That’s one I’m waiting on.  What are you waiting on?  Share in the comments below!
