Forestwife Trilogy | Theresa Tomlinson, Tomlinson

Pickpick

Can I catch up on 15 days of #seasonsreadings2016? Let's see! Merry Christmas everyone! This trilogy would, tbh, probably work best as a TV series but if not it #shouldbeamovie. It's a retelling of the Robin Hood legend that focuses on women. 15 year old Mary runs away from a marriage she doesn't want, into the depths of the forest, in search of the legendary Forestwife, a rumoured witch & the only one that can help her survive. #YA #UKYA

Whoops! I fell behind on #seasonsreadings2016. So here's a strange book that #shouldbeamovie. Part survival story, part monster story, part indigenous mythology. And a healthy dose of historical fiction!

When I heard HBO was picking up the MaddAddam trilogy, to be directed by none other than DARREN ARONOFSKY, I almost lost my mind, in a good way. How awesome would that be! Sadly, HBO appears to have pulled the plug on the project. I really hope somebody else steps in to save this (*cough* Netflix, Amazon, come on guys *cough*) because it so #shouldbeamovie.

vivastory Agreed. At least we have "Handmaid's Tale" & "Alias Grace" adaptations to look forward to. 7y
respekt1111 What? Pulled the plug? Say it ain't so!😭 7y
AGirlAndHerBooks This story would be all kinds of intrigue and wonderful weirdness if brought to screen... 7y

readordierachel @vivastory True! So excited for both of those. 7y
readordierachel @AGirlAndHerBooks Wouldn't it though? 7y
BookishFeminist WHAT?!?! 😭😭😭 I'm hoping someone else will eventually pick it up too. That's what happened with American Gods, originally slated for HBO but dropped and now being remade on Starz. 7y
readordierachel @BookishFeminist Oh, right! I forgot about that. Fingers crossed. 7y
vivastory HBO is pretty notorious for canceling projects. Also, Darren Aronofsky has a reputation for being unwilling to compromise. Think of that what you will, HBO had to know what they were getting into. 7y

Inspired by Julie Andrews being on tv tonight (Mary Poppins, which is my favorite movie), I remembered this lovely book. It's my vote for #shouldbeamovie. Can you imagine the animation and special effects that could be done when creating this world? This also just moved up my reread list. #seasonsreadings2016

This absolutely #shouldbeamovie. When I saw Avatar, I remember thinking what a travesty it was that its amazing visuals were paired with such a lousy, derivative, forgettable story. This story deserves the visual treatment James Cameron wasted on Avatar. But don't let his screenwriters near the story. *shudder* #seasonsreadings2016

Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone "Alphabet" series #shouldbeamovie or more logically, #shouldbeaseries. I used to picture Holly Hunter as Kinsey, but now I think she's aged out of that possibility. Now I'd picture Anna Kendrick in the role. What do you think?

#seasonsreadings2016

Bookzombie Holly Hunter would have been a good choice! I think Anna Kendrick might need a few more years, but she would be good. 7y
Dolly Most of the familiar actresses for me are older so with time travel here goes: I always imagined Jodi Foster, and if you really stretch your mind a young Katherine Hepburn, and Meg, yes Meg Ryan would be my ultimate pic. 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Bookzombie I know what you mean about Anna. It could work if they made her a little more everyday looking. 😜 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Dolly All good choices as long as we pick pre-plastic surgery Meg. 😎 7y
rubyslippersreads Sue Grafton used to work in entertainment and has sworn never to let Kinsey appear on the screen. 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @rubyslippersreads Aw shucks. A girl can dream, though! (edited) 7y
EllanaRose I love that series!! I started reading it when I was 11 and now I'm 26 and planning to read it in the new year 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @EllanaRose That's so awesome! Would you believe I started reading it when I was 26 and I still haven't finished it 26 years later? I don't want it to end so I'm saaaaaaavoring it. 7y
MaleficentBookDragon Holly Hunter would have been great. Now Im picturing Melissa McBride or Kristen Bell. 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @MaleficentTheBookDragon Both good picks! 👏🏻👏🏻 7y
