Best _Book to Movie/TV Adaptation_ Of 2014


These are my best book to movie/TV adaptations that I've read in 2014 I may have broken a few rules in choosing a topic for this one (naughty me), however, in my defense, IF I'm FREE to choose a topic of choice than why stipulate? I also chose a couple of books like The Giver, and If I Stay that I hadn't read in 2014 however I watched the movie in 2014! :p Don't Judge Me . . . pleaase.

Game of Thrones 4th season premiered on April 6, 2014. Season 4 is mostly based on the second half of A Storm of Swords, the third book in A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin. You can watch all 10 episodes on HBO like I did :) and I've seen all 4 seasons

The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies is my favorite book-to-movie of 2014 by far. An Epic Fantasy.



3 Outlander premiered on Starz in the U.S.A. on August 9, 2014.








Fallen by Lauren Kate The film is in pre-production so I haven't seen it yet, but is currently slated to hit theaters in 2014. I read Passion in February 2014.
The Prizoner of Azkaban . Although the movie isn't a 2014 release  I read the book for the first time in 2014
6 The Maze Runner. The movie was released in Theaters September 19,2014. I thought it was a mix of Hunger Games and Game of Thrones with the watchers beyond the wall thing .

7 If I Stay released August 22, 2014. I watched the movie about a week ago and I liked the book more.

8 Guardians of The Galaxy was released in 2014. My favorite character is Groot . Loved it.
The Giver hit theaters on August 15, 2014, The sameness reminded me of Logan's Run.

Top 10 of 2014: Best Books I've Read


My Top 10 lists for 2014 became a little easier this year as I found that Goodreads made a list of books I'd read in 2014 I didn't reach my goal of 122 books but of the 89 books I did read that is what I have to go on. Congratulations to those who completed their goals in the 2014 Goodreads Reading Challenge!

(in no particular order)

An Honorable Mention



First time reading the Harry Potter books and why not include them in my top 10 read?


  1. Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. The first in the series made me want to delve more into the world of Claire and Jamie. Oh Aye indeed!
  2. Grave Mercy by Robin Lafevers. The first book accounts the story of Ismae one of 3 women assassins from the Convent of St. Mortain .
  3. City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare. This may have been the last in the series but we will no doubt see more of the characters in her up and coming new book series the Dark Artifices.
  4. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. A unique and amazing story about a boy who goes on a trek through the desert to find his treasure.
  5. The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. I saw the last film in this epic trilogy yesterday. It is by far my favorite movie of the year as is the book.
  6. Hidden Dragons by Emma Holly .I won this book and it impressed me.
  7. Skin Game by Jim Butcher . Nothing but Fun and games for Harry Dresden.
  8. Cress by Marissa Meyer . This book is awesome.
  9. The Children of Hürin by J.R.R.Tolkien The events in this book were way before The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings and the story was fantastic all the same.
  10. Better Off Dead by H.P.Mallory I love her as an author and this series was très magnifique!
