Not sure what genres you're into but here are some off the top of my head:

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
To All the Boys I've Loved Before
Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda (Love, Simon)
IT (really, pretty much any King novel)
The Woman in the Window
Bird Box (highly rec this book, tbh)

Hopefully that gives you some inspiration!

Thank you so much! :) I need to read Hitchhiker again.

Anytime! And I recently downloaded the audio version of Hitchhiker's Guide - narrated by Stephen Fry. It's... amazing. Hahaha.

I read The Canterville Ghost, which is a story by Oscar Wilde. Entertaining and not very long.

It is a disgrace that I've never read anything by him. I really should change that....

I'm going to read Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9460487-miss-peregrine-s-home-for-peculiar-children) for that square. It's YA.

Solo: A Star Wars Story: Expanded Edition by Mur Lafferty (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/41837280-solo) (sci-fi...and I want to say I've seen a related Solo novel at the library, and I'd count that as a movie tie-in)

Queen & Country by Greg Rucka (https://www.goodreads.com/series/55566-queen-country) (graphic novel/thriller) this has a page on IMDB, but I don't know if it is ever going to become a movie

Some other ideas are: The Princess Diaries, Confessions of a Shopaholic, A Simple Favor, Crazy Rich Asians (and the sequels), Gone with the Wind, To Kill a Mockingbird, Pride & Prejudice, Northanger Abbey, Mansfield Park, Emma, Persuasion, Lady Susan, Stardust, Sense & Sensibility, Coraline, The Devil Wears Prada, One for the Money, plus almost any comic book movie ;-P

Thank you so much for all the great suggestions! :)

Since you were reading royalty for your other book, I'm sure there are movie/book options out there. I just can't think of any definite ones off the top of my head other than The Princess Diaries, lol.

Maybe they put out a tie-in book for Elizabeth? The King's Speech? And ooh, I think there was something out there for The Favourite.

ETA: There is The Sword in the Stone, which is part of The Once and Future King that was made into a Disney animated movie. TOaFK is one of my favorite books, so I highly rec it, but it is pretty long. I'd say you could just read the chapters that correspond to The Sword in the Stone and call it a day if those chapters don't exist in book form by themselves.

Harry Potter
Stardust
Ella Enchanted
Inkheart
Percy Jackson
Crazy Rich Asians

Thanks! :) Percy Jackson and CRA are ones I mean to pick up.

If you like Percy most of the rest of his are pretty good.

I am really loving his Apollo series and can't wait for the next book to come out this year.

I'm starting CRA now! :D

I read Artemis Fowl but I wasn't impressed

Yeah, I've kinda of gotten that impression.

I was disappointed but there is a lot of them so I might be in the minority there

I read A Dog's Purpose. Can't go wrong with dogs. *g*

I started tearing up when I saw the trailer on tv....

I read Death in Captivity by Micheal Gilbert.

Oh! I hadn't heard of that one before but it looks interesting.

A great book - I read it many years ago.

I read the Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins for the movie tie in square. Enjoyed it.

I read the Constant Princess many years ago. I'm loving the series but some of the changes made for the benefits of dramatisation didn't sit well with me at first. I got over myself though and am enjoying it now.

Did they take advantage of the scenes set in the Alhambra? That could be beautiful....

Only really in episode 1. (and I haven't seen the last 3 eps yet) They could have done so much more with it.

I'm going to read 'Peter Pan' by J.M Barrie.

I read that a couple years ago for another challenge. :)

Heh, bingoes doing 'Peter Pan' a service in getting read;p

I read The Martian which was surprisingly good.

I read that last year when it was on The Great American Read and really enjoyed it! :)

I read In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, and it was AMAZING. Don't know if you like true crime, but this book began the genre and it's as good as it gets. I plan to watch the movie soon.

In Cold Blood is one of those books that stands out as a genre standard. It set the tone for all true crime books in the future. It's in my top ten of favorites.

A friend rec'd that to me a couple years ago, and yeah, it was incredible.

I'm curious - What book what were you reading by Lovecraft?

It was a B&N collector's volume that my husband got me for Xmas a couple years ago. It was Herbert West that finally go to be too much.
