Some links to help out!1. GR Books Set in Japan
2. Japanese Authors Shelf
3. Magic Shelf
4. Mystery Shelf
5. GR Books set in Ireland
6. GR Irish Authors Shelf
7. GR Books made into Movies shelf
I have 3 questions regarding the book to movie category, please.1. Can it be book to TV show?
2. Can it be a book that has not yet been released or is in the process of becoming a movie?
3. Can it be a book within the series even though that book has not yet become a movie? i.e. City of Ashes
Lol, this should be the easiest of all the categories...
1. Yes2. If there is a general release date info, then, yes it can be used even if it's still in the making.
3. If there is a plan for the book to be made into a movie, then yes. If not, then no. Sorry.
Hope that helps, Penney!
Found a good shelf for 7. Popcorn Lover's Day: Read a book that has been converted to movie or vice versa.Books-that-are-becoming-movies-TV-shows
YAY! these sound so easy :)I have a Q:
Can we read a Manga for #3???
Ashwag, yes you can! I very much encourage you to since I love manga :)
I've always wanted to read manga. There's just so much, I don't know where to start. I was wondering if there was anything y'all would suggest for a first-time reader like me. :)
Makenzie - sure. I can point out some manga for you. Is there any genre/specifics you'd like?

I really liked it!
I have a question. for option #4 third month, would you take "&" as a word like in Cut & Run or Sticks & Stones since you pronounce it Cut and Run.

Haha that's a coincidence....that's one of the few that I've actually watched.

Not really. I'm open to reading a variety.
makenzie,if want to read a good manga,start wid a short series 1st,i'd lyk u to try reading xxxholic,its my fave manga...but...its a bit long.hehehehe
with the manga, one volume is okay or do i have to read the whole story?
Questian - re-reads are ok. One volume is a book still. So it is enough.
Makenzie - Sorry but let me get back to you tonight. I had all these manga lined up for you but my browser crashed. Argh!!
Vi wrote: "Makenzie - Sorry but let me get back to you tonight. I had all these manga lined up for you but my browser crashed. Argh!!"Oh no!!!!! Silly browser. I appreciate you looking for me. There's do much out there it's a bit overwhelming. :-)

Questian, there are so many books into movies to choose from, it really depends on what you like to read.
I am reading Slammed for this category, it's supposed to be great. The Host is supposed to be a great book and soon to be released movie. There is the Twilight series.
Vi has provided a link above that has a long list of ideas.

eh... I wouldn't be so quick to call it free... but the legality of this site has always been questionable.
For #4 - the third month -- do we have to count "a" or "the" as a word?
Nicola, feel free to discount them if it'll work in your favour. Or you can use them also. Upto you.
Another question. Would having a conversation with your dead mother be considered magic? I am not really sure what category that would fall under.For One More Day
@ty and Fran,thanks for the suggestion.. i ended up reading a Nora Robert Movie-TV book for the Popcorn lover's day,,,,
really good
Hi Nicola!I think some would consider that magical....so I would say yes, you could use it. And since I am helping Vi out with this thread for awhile.....it's a go :)
@ty,i just read your message, hehehehhe, it is in my country, if you read the manga online, i have also checked with othe online manga scans, and for me this is the okay.
guys, can I read
for the autumn category?
ɑƨħŵɑɡ wrote: "guys, can I read for the autumn category?"Yes, that's enough orange/yellow on cover - it works :)
