Booking through Thursday



This week we discuss the following,
What book do you think should be made into a movie? And do you have any suggestions for the producers?
Or, What book do you think should NEVER be made into a movie?


Here is my suggestion, a few weeks ago I read this book,
Black Diamond by Catherine Bailey. This was a true story of a wealthy, English family. I think this would make a wonderful movie, it has everything I look for in a good movie; History(the general strike , and miners' working conditions), wealth, poverty, aristocracy, stately homes, family feuds,there were also connections with the Kennedy clan. It follows the family tree till the last Earl Fitzwilliam died .
An excellent book, I can see all the stage stalwarts in the cast, Dame Maggie Smith, Sir Derek Jacobi, Dame Judi Dench to name a few. It would bve a great treat for movie goers.

More ideas can be found

Sounds like a great pick. And if Derek Jacobi is in it, I'll pay full price to see it! :-)

Looks like an action packed film if that happens!

Not familiar with this book but your casting would have me buying a ticket!

Just read your post on my blog. We're about the same age and I have three children (ages 22-28). I'm reading a lot (and catching up on books I missed when the kids were young as well as newly published)! I feel like I'm in heaven : )

Sounds like a fascinating book. And the film with your suggested cast would be good!

Thanks for stopping by my blog and for your kind comment. Although I no longer read fiction( time is so short, and there are many spiritual writers I have yet to read) I used to read a lot of mystery novels set in England; one of my favourite characters was Adam Dalgleish. He'd make a great movie star!

It sounds like just the kind of movie I would want to see.

I hadn't heard of this before, but Black Diamond sounds like fun. :-)
