Hi everyone! How is your challenge going? I’ve read 2 books out of my 20 which means I’m 6 books behind…but 2 is better than nothing!
If you’re like me and need some extra motivation to read your dusty books, I’ve got a fun mini-challenge for you!

This mini challenge is simple – pick a book from your dusty bookshelf challenge that has been made into a movie or TV show. Then read the book and watch the movie/show before the end of the month. If you complete the challenge this month, you can get 10 bonus entries in the giveaway!
Also, there are a few discussion boards in the Dusty Bookshelf group on Goodreads just for this mini-challenge if you want some people to chat with and motivate you. :)
Giveaway
This giveaway is open to everyone, but if you join my Goodreads group for the Dusty Bookshelf Challenge or finish the mini challenge, you will get extra entries. Here’s what you can win:
The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick
This giveaway is open INTERNATIONALLY! But, please understand that because of region restrictions on movies I might not be able to buy you the movie depending on where you live. If that’s the case, I will get you a book of your choice for $20 or less from the Book Depository instead of the movie. But two books is still awesome, right? (Read this if you want to learn more about region restrictions on movies.)
Good luck!
My name is Jessica. I love to read Young Adult and classic literature. I’ve been a book blogger for six years and I haven’t gotten tired of it yet. I’m a very curious reader. Writing about all the questions and thoughts I had while reading a book is the best hobby ever.
The Godfather. I think that film is one of those rare cases in which the movie is way better than the book.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.
“The Pianist”—I weep every time I see it.
The Hungers Games. THe movie was actually pretty good:)
The Lord of the Rings!
The Hunger games, I thought the movie was even better than the book.
Lord of the Rings, I love the movies, but the books are horrible (I’m sorry if I offend people with this, but it’s just my opinion.)
Recently, I really enjoyed The Hunger Games. I think they did a great job. I just like seeing how books change to movies…I don’t really worry about the differences. :)
The Hunger Games =)
thank you so much for this giveaway! GBU<3
Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
I thought the Virgin Suicides movie was much kinder in its treatment of the Lux-Trip romance than the book.
I’m going to say Forrest Gump. Did not like the book but the movie was so good!
My favorite book to movie adaptation would most definitely be The Harry Potter series!!
My favorite book to movie is Chronicles of Narnia The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe. I felt they did a good job of staying true to the story.
I would love to see more Janet Evanovich books made into movies!
Thanks for the give-away!
The Twilight series.
I think that Harry Potter. It was my childhood biggest atraction and going to cinema was a big deal then! :D So it wa s abig shock to me to see Hrry on the screen :)
gone with the wind
Hunger Games !
Stardust! I loved the movie more than the book (usually it’s the other way around)
Sounds great!!
I loved The Hunger Games movie adaptation!
Ooooh-Hunger Games was great-and Harry Potter!
Thanks for the giveaway!
lord of the rings(s)!
Tied between Hunger Games and Harry Potter.
Currently my favorite book to movie adaption definitely is The Hunger Games. ♥
Thanks for the giveaway! :)
One of my wowinest favorite books is Brave Story by Miyuku Miyabe. It has been made into an animated movie which I have yet to see, but from the clips and music videos I’ve seen of it on YouTube, it looks like its a faithful adaptation that conveys the themes and characters well.
Twilight
My favorite book to screen adaption, appropriately, is Hugo. I love Martin Scorsese and dragged my dad to the limited-release theater in my neighborhood to go see this, and I was immediately affected by this film in a way I have never been before. Movies are my great love, next to books, and when I saw this, I was a part of a cast of characters who were entranced by the magic of cinema as I was, and I felt like I wasn’t alone. I don’t own a copy of the movie but I would really love to and I also want to read the book.
Would 300 by Frank Miller count? ^_^
I think I would be in the minority but I also liked the movie adaptation of Possession by AS Byatt (starring Aaron Eckhart)
My favorite book to screen adaptations are “The Princess Bride” and “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy. Another favorite is actually book to small-screen; I am loving the “Game of Thrones” series on HBO and I’ve completed the first three books in the series.
One of my favourite book adaptations to movie might have to be “Chocolat” by Johanne Harris. I just love the story so much!
My favorite would have to be Harry Potter.
Favorite book to movie adaptation? This is easy. The Lord of the Rings. That’s right, all three books/films. This movie trilogy proved to me that an accurate, devoted, well-made adaptation is possible.
Thanks so much for the giveaway! :)
Hands down The Hunger Games.
Not exactly a movie because it premiered on tv but my favorite is Game of Thrones (Vol1) pm HBO.
This book has been on my to-read shelf since I heard about the movie… I haven’t seen it yet because I really want to read it first (despite my no-comparing rule about adaptations, however tempting it might be to complain sometimes). I’m excited! Thanks for doing this!
The Princess Bride is my favorite adaptation
the Harry Potter series made into movies, especially the first 4
My favourite movie adaptation has to be The Fellowship of the Ring, I haven’t read the other parts to the series but I love the movies. :)
I think the Harry Potter series is my favorite book to screen adaptation. I loved the books and they did a really good job making the books come to life!
LOTR & Harry Potter.
My favorite book to movie adaption would be Harry Potter and The Hunger Games! I literally grew up with Harry Potter series. I remember that every year when Harry Potter new movie came up to the screen, I’d be the first one waiting on the line! hehe :D And I absolutely love the books, one of my all-time fave.
My fav book to movie was Water for Elephants.
