Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. 

Each week they post a new Top Ten List topic. If you would like to participate just add your url to their widget and make sure you link back to their blog in your post. You can participate even without a blog. Just make a comment below with your top ten! 

The Shadow of the Wind - Obvious choice because it's a fantastic novel of mystery and it's centered around a book of secrets. It would be great as a movie or a tv series. 

A Visit From the Good Squad - I'd love to see these characters brought to life on the big screen. Between the  punk rock flash backs and the level of depth that Egan gives to her characters this would make a great movie. To be honest, I'd like to see any of her novels made into a movie. Her stories are exceptional.

Where'd You Go, Bernadette - I think this would make a great comedy of sorts. The awkwardness and humor surrounding the events and characters is better than any "Housewives" show on the air. 

Let's Pretend This Never Happened - I know this is a memoir, but to see a 30 minutes sitcom each week of a story from The Bloggess would be like Betty White meets Duck Dynasty and America's Funniest Videos all in one show!

Paint it Black - White Oleander did well on the big screen and Paint it Black is an equally dark and wicked portrait of youth gone bad. I think another Fitch novel would make a great movie.

She's Come Undone OR I Know This Much Is True - Either of these Wally Lamb novels I would race to see in theaters. Lamb's stories are so psychologically intense and thought provoking. His writing mesmerizes me. I feel deeply emotional for the characters and easily get lost in the story.

The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane - It's a cheesy love story that makes me think of Practical Magic, one of my favorites. There is also a great historical undertone that would make a great backdrop for said love story.

Skeletons at the Feast - This Bohjalian novel would make a great period piece. I love all his books that I've read but I think this one would be interesting to watch and see the costumes and camera technology.

Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet - A recent interview with the author suggests there will be no movie in the future. This is another love story that houses so much historical significance that I'd be very excited to see it turned into a film.

So, agree? Disagree? Tell me what you think and don't forget to visit The Broke and the Bookish and check out some other suggestions.
