Read It First: Books to Film

I'm excited to announce that I'll be writing several monthly features for the She Knows Book Lounge. One of my regular columns is about books that have been adapted to the screen.

This month I feature two books to movies that are currently in the theater, two that are out on DVD/BluRay, and one book series that's been made into a television show. I also offer a bonus "if you liked this book, try this one" for each title. Click on through to see my debut "Read It First" article.

While you're there, check out the She Knows book club, book reviews, hot book of the day, author interviews, and other features for book lovers.

    Enjoyed the post. Have seen The Help and loved it, but not the others.

    Such a great idea for a column. I'll be very interested to see how Stephanie Plum translates to the big screen!

    I liked the article. I like keeping up on what's new at the movies as well as the tie-in to books. Great idea for a regular article.

    Came across your blog while taking the 21 Day Comment Challenge. I love the book to movie debate/critique. I'll be checking out your She Knows Book Lounge columns.

    Congrats Candace! Nice reviews, and I like the "if you like this, then" book tips. (for fans of The Help, I'd also highly recommend THE DRY GRASS OF AUGUST by AJ Mayhew. I narrated the audio, but loved the book before it was assigned to me).

    The She Knows book page seems to have fun items, but boy is it chaotic visually!
