IndoorDame It would be super boring for me to JUST repeat your list, so I‘m gonna have to go with Miss Marple for my Agatha pick 😁😘 3mo

dabbe @IndoorDame #greatminds And I need more choices cuz I love Miss Marple, too! Thanks for playing! ❤️💜🩷 3mo

rwmg Only 3? Oh dear. In no particular order: Sir John Appleby, Wesley Peterson, Kate Shackleton. But ask me again next week and I might choose somebody else entirely 3mo

dabbe @rwmg Me, too! You've given me 3 new ones to add to my TBR. Thanks for playing! 🤩 3mo

iread2much Hmmm, I don‘t read a lot of mysteries, but maybe Will Trent (I really like the TV show but haven‘t read the books) Lady Sherlock (my favorite!), and Beka Cooper from the series by that name. She‘s not brilliant, but she‘s good 2mo

dabbe @iread2much Haven't read any of these--on the good ol' TBR! Thanks for playing! ❤️💜🩷 2mo

iread2much @dabbe thanks for the invite! 2mo

The Valley of Fear | Arthur Conan Doyle

pick

Although I've read The Valley of Fear several times before, and seen numerous TV adaptations, I'd still forgotten both the plot twist (which really should have been obvious to me - I see but I do not observe!) and the involvement of Professor Moriarty.
An interesting mash-up of a Holmesian mystery and a Western thriller 🔎🤠

Adaptation | Malinda Lo

One of my most favorite things is reading a book and then seeing it adapted to a movie, television series, play, etc. What are your favorites? Anything so bad you still had to watch it? Looking to add to my #tbr #booktomoviereads

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego The best Book to Movie adaptation IMO is The Revenant. The movie is far better than the book. As for TV adaptations I liked The Handmaid's Tale, American Gods, Sharp Objects & Big Little Lies. 6y

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego The worst one I've seen recently was The Girl With All the Gifts. Awful movie, great book. 6y

swynn I almost always hate a movie if I've read the book first, especially dramatic adaptations of nonfiction works, which tend to become ... well, not nonfiction. I find "The Imitation Game" unwatchable, for instance. But anything by Alfred Hitchcock is at least as good as its source material; I love love Elia Kazan's East of Eden; and Spike Jonze's adaptation of Susan Orlean's Adaptation it's flat-out brilliant. 6y

Gitanjali I agree with @swynn. I‘m a book purist :) but I thought lord of the rings was fine. 6y

Indexasaurus Even though I love the books more, the Potter movies and the Game of Thrones series are my favorites. On the opposite end, I love the movie versions of The Witches of Eastwick and Practical Magic but didn‘t care for either book (I swear I‘m not obsessed with witches!). 6y

Lel2403 To kill a mockingbird....and The Birds.....or maybe Shawshank Redemption....too many to choose ! 6y

LaLecture @swynn I had the same thought about non-fiction to movie adaptions with “Hidden Figures”. The book was a list of facts and the movie was a rather cheesy story (even though I liked it, viewed separately from the book). 6y

LaLecture I think “Stardust” is even better than the book in some parts 🙈. My favourite book to movie adaption might be “The Perks of Being a Wallflower”. It‘s a bit different from the book but you can still feel the book‘s spirit as the author worked on the movie to. 6y

LauraRenae White Oleander. Both the book and the movie are fantastic and yet so different. 6y

dragondrool The Silence of the Lambs. Fried Green Tomatoes. It 2018. I also really liked The Shipping News. 6y

Amiable "Mystic River" by Dennis Lehane. Best adaptation to a movie ever. 6y

MotionChickness That was a tough one! I‘m so anal about book to screens... like irrationally lol. I think The Martian was done very well... and Paper Towns! 6y

Crystalblu The Princess Bride and Silence of the Lambs. Same as my favorite movies😜 It must say something about me that my favorite movies were books first 🤔 6y

madamereadsalot1 Fight Club, Coraline, Howl's Moving Castle, The Hunger Games trilogy, etc. 6y

hissingpotatoes The movie I think most closely resembles its book, and which I loved both of, is Holes by Louis Sachar. 6y

WolfGirl16 I had such a difficult time watching Ready Player One as a movie because I loved the book so much 6y

zzz Gone Girl. The book was just ok for me but I really liked the movie...thought the female lead was perfect👍 6y

Whimsical.Curiosity @WolfGirl16 I enjoyed the movie for what it was but after like 15 seconds I had to pretend that I have read the book. The book was friggin amazing! 6y

WolfGirl16 @Whimsical.Curiosity I thought of one this afternoon. I‘m completely in love with BBCs Sherlock. An amazing show based on great books. #iamsherlocked 6y

Whimsical.Curiosity @WolfGirl16 good call!! Love me some Cumberbatch #swooooon 6y

Adventures of Sherlock Holmes | Arthur Conan Doyle

I realized that some of you might actually like to see my pictures from inside nerdy museums thanks to @IamIamIam! This is from the replica museum of 221B Baker St. in London. Part of their living room with that oh so wonderful violin. 😍 I forget I'm among people who like these places too! #IamSherlocked

theresidentromantic @Sarah83 This is part of their living room. Crowded with little things you don't have a lot of time or room to look at. But pretty nontheless and very cool. You don't imagine it being that small! 6y

Sarah83 Looks so gorgeous. Do you also participate #conandoyleswap? 6y

Sarah83 In your opinion who wrote the best pastiche? 6y

CoverToCoverGirl Most excellent! 😍 6y

Jadams89 I knew what that room was before I read. I love it!!!! 6y

Texreader We were there last summer!! Great photo! 6y

theresidentromantic @sarah83 No, I am doing the #janeaustenswap :) and hmm. I haven't actually read too many, but my favorite might actually be fanfic. It's an old, three part series on fanfiction.net. I don't remember what the first two are, but my favorite the third is called The Rules of Engagement. It uses an oc named Helen but it's marvelous, really humanizes Holmes. What about you? 6y

Sarah83 I read quite a few. I liked this one pretty much

The Patient's Eyes

Sarah83 Didn't like these ones

The Devil's Grin

Final Fall | Heather W. Petty

pick

Not enough Sherlock, but a satisfying end to the series. Further thoughts in covered comments. #IamSherlocked

RestingBodiceFace I am happy that the author allowed for Mori's darkness, and that it won out in the end. A happy ending would have been an injustice to the characters of Sherlock & Moriarty. 6y

Lock & Mori | Heather W. Petty

Finished in a day. A bit of a slow start, but picked up toward the end. For the record, I pictured a young Benedict Cumberbatch the whole time I was reading this. #iamsherlocked #highfunctioningsociopath #doyourresearch

O Jerusalem | Laurie R. King

#SetInTheMiddleEast #MayBookFlowers This book is from the Mary Russel series. It follows Ms. Russel and her mentor Sherlock Holmes as they traverse Palestine just after WWI in search of a spy and saboteur. This book not only is a source for famous locations and persons, but is also a fairly accurate portrayal of Bedouin life for that time period. I would recommend this series to everyone even if you are not a fan of Holmes stories #IamSherlocked

Shadows Over Baker Street | Michael Reaves, John Pelan

so-so

#maybookflowers #sobaditsgood Combining Sherlock Holmes with Lovecraftian horror and Elder Ones this book is an odd mashup. The writing is not bad by any means, and I found myself actually getting carried along by the plots of the stories. However the universe is so unusual from a typical Holmes story, and many things being done seemingly for the sake of weirdness that I found myself disappointed. Still, not a waste of time. #iamsherlocked
