Hey, guys!
Welcome to another entry for Thursday Movie Picks.
It’s a series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves, so if you want to join the party, head over to her blog! It’s pretty easy: check out each week’s topic and come up with 3 to 5 movies that fit the theme.
For the final post of each month, we talk about TV shows instead of films. So, today we’re going to tackle some book to TV series adaptations!
#1 Nos4a2
I don’t know why it took me so long to finally read this book. I’ve known Joe Hill’s stuff for a while and liked everything else that I’ve picked up. Well, this year I finally read Nos4a2, so I also checked out the show after that. I loved the novel, but the show, well, not so much.
#2 Wheel of Time
I’m still in the process of reading all these books (there are sooooo many!) but I finished the first one and watched the adaptation earlier this year. I had so much to say about it, that I even did two posts just comparing the two. 🙈
#3 The Witcher (Season 2)
I was so excited for the second season of The Witcher to come out, I binged the whole thing the day after it was released. The plot in this season diverges significantly from the books, but I’m not mad about it. Mainly, I’m just curious how that’s going to affect the next seasons to come!

I really loved NOS4A2! The show was a major disappointment.

I’m not much into the 1st one but the next 2 I’d like to see. My ex read all the wheel of time books way back in the early 90s

I also read Nos4a2 and enjoyed it for the most part, but never bothered with the show

That was a good choice! The show was quite dissapointing.

I wasn’t bothered by the changes to the Witcher either. I think it’s because honestly in this case I kind of prefer the show anyway 🙂

I’ve had a lot of issues with the books. So far I for sure prefer the show as well!
