Top Ten Tuesday ~ Movies and TV Shows That Would Make Great Books


Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly event hosted by 

This weeks topic: Since this was a free week, Banana gets credit for coming up with our topic which is:


Movies and TV Shows That Would Make Great Books

10 ~ Knight and Day

This movie is a family favorite around here.  It is hilarious and we would definitely read a book about it.

9 ~ Hart of Dixie

This show was one we enjoyed every episode of.  It would certainly make for some fun contemporary southern romance books.

8 ~ The Emperor's New Groove

If you haven't seen this movie then shame, shame, shame on you!  It is one of our favorite Disney movies of all time and provides so many quotable one liners it's ridiculous!  It would make for a hilarious adventure story in book form.

7 ~ Private Practice

What makes for a great book?  How about a lot of messed up relationships intermingled with medical cases?  We think Private Practice has potential for a great book series.

6 ~ Heroes

Heroes would be an excellent basis for a graphic novel series!  Who's with us on this one?

5 ~ Grey's Anatomy

Want to talk about an awesome medical drama series filled with relationship angst, lies and all those other goodies?  We think Grey's Anatomy has great potential as a book series.  You'll be crying a lot though because your favorite characters will be dying every other book!

4 ~ Gilmore Girls

Whit, sarcasm, relationships, quirky small town adventures.  What's not to love about Gilmore Girls and who wouldn't want to read this series as a book?

3 ~ How to Get Away With Murder

If this show doesn't translate into a great book series we don't know what would!  They had us going until the very end with season 1 and now season 2 is going to be just as epic as we try and find out who committed the latest murder on this fantastic series.

2 ~ 24

24 has all the right combination for everything you would want in a great thriller series.  Don't tell me you wouldn't love to read about Jack Bauer uncovering intense terrorist crimes using all his non-conventional methods.  24 the book series...hopefully coming to a bookstore near you!

1 ~ Scandal

This show has it all: drama, suspense, romance, and everything else.  It would be very interesting to get into the heads of all these amazing characters and read their thoughts on what's happening.  The constant twists throughout the book alone would definitely keep you reading until way past 3am!


Now it's your turn!  Tell us what shows you think would make great books.  Also what topics did you decide on for your free week?  Leave us your comments so we can check out your posts as well!

  2. I've only seen one from your list :-( I think Lost could make a good book though. It's already got all the emotion and backstory, not to mention love triangles and paranormal smoke monsters lol. Or maybe Suits. I don't think I'm caught up right now, but that show is so much more emotional than I expected and has the greatest bromance ever. It'd be awesome to get inside the heads of the characters on any show you love though! Here's my TTT :-)

    1. Hey Kristen! I thought about Lost actually for a bit but I never did finish the series (which I intend to do eventually) so I wasn't sure. I love getting into the head of characters so I think it would be fun to do that with most TV shows that you like.

      Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week!

    1. Scandal and Heroes are a couple favorites for the list. You will have to check back with my son's #TGIT posts when the season starts as he is quite hilarious recapping the shows each week.

      Thanks for stopping by Dana. Have a great week!

  5. I totally agree with all of these—the ones I've seen anyway. I'd love to see a book of Heroes. It was one of my favourite shows when I was younger and I could totally handle reading a whole book about my favourites. Hart of Dixie too—I'll take more Wade in my life, thanks.

    My list

    1. Those would both make fun book I think! I'm glad you stopped by today! Thanks so much and have a great week!

  7. I just want anything Gilmore related. I always wished they would do a movie to conclude some things they left hanging - or just give me more of those great characters. Stars Hollow would be a great place to visit.

    1. I think Stars Hallow and the great cast of characters would be a great setting for a fun book. It's just so quirky. Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a great week.
