Aside from that, I do agree with the Bookstagrammers that say this book would make a great movie. Yet at the same time.... I think it would make a better anime series. And then I started thinking of...
BOOKS THAT WOULD MAKE A GREAT
FILM/ANIME SERIES
1. Night Circus / Erin Morgenstern
Night Circus is about, as you can see in the title. a circus that comes out only at night. Black and white striped tents filled with equally mysterious and good-looking illusionists, contortionists, magicians...
A film adaptation of this book would be so pleasing for the eyes and mind. To be honest, any book set in the 1800's would make a good film. I can just imagine the hairstyles and the costumes; the mannerisms and the way the characters would speak. Also, the Murray twins always come into my head as anime characters somehow, so an anime series is my second thought :3
2. The Strange & Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender / Leslye Walton
This one has beautiful writing and has so much potential to be a beautiful film, if given the right cast and made properly. BUT, being one of my favourite books of 2015, at the same time I do not want it to be made into a movie in case it gets ruined.
I stole this picture from my Instagram. Sorry. I don't have the books with me as they were borrowed :p
3. The Archived & The Unbound / Victoria Schwab
This series is, in one sentence, about the dead being kept in the Archive like books in a library, and a girl whose job as a Keeper is to make sure they stay locked. The whole time I was reading this duology this year, I thought of it as an anime series. Not sure why, but a good anime to me always consists of a mysterious otherworldly vibe. With ghosts. Yes.
4. The Lunar Chronicles / Marissa Meyer
When I was explaining the premise of this book series to one of my friends, he commented that it would be nice as an anime. Yes, he is correct. A mix of fairytales and Science fiction. Hmm.... if that doesn't sound like a good anime series I don't know what does. (Also Cinder would be so attractive as an anime character sigh)
5. The Mortal Instruments / Cassandra Clare
Surprise, surprise. Nope, I did't finish the series, and nope I didn't even enjoy the first 3 books that I got to read. But, it would make a really attractive and action-packed anime, one that would have my attention from start to finish. Also has the potential to be one of those long-running animes that everyone seems to watch and love, especially if there's the Infernal Devices trilogy added to the mix (;
6. the Legend trilogy / Marie Lu
The only Dystopian series on the list. I wouldn't exactly say this would make a good movie franchise, because Hollywood might just ruin the series if you know what I mean... However it makes a nice anime series. It gave me the Code Geass and Gundam Seed vibes somehow, even though these books have no mecha involved. All that hoo-ha about war and the Republic, etc. And of course, the resemblance in my mind between June and Cagalli Yula Athha from Gundam Seed.
OK, I'm tired, goodnight.
