13 - A book with the same title as a movie or TV show but is unrelated to it

[Cheryl A.]

I will be reading Undercover by Danielle Steel for this prompt

[Page]

Guys, Save The Date by Morgan Matson also works. there's a rom-com movie with the same title (2012) and starring Mark Weber and Lizzy Caplan

[El]

The Winter's Tale by William Shakespeare (2014 Winter's Tale)

[Heather]

On the list I saw Beloved by Toni Morrison, but when I googled I found the movie based on the book. Unless there's another movie out there with the same name?

[Heather]

Ah, never mind. I see there's a Korean show with the same name. Still too close for me. lol Going to use a different book for the prompt but think I'll also read Beloved since it was already on my tbr.

You can read Beloved for the "book written by an author who has written more than 20 books" instead.

[Heather]

@eujean2 I've already finished that prompt(The Time Machine by H.G. Wells). I've estimated I'll be done with the challenge in September so still plenty of time. Currently have it on hold at the library.

[Julia]

No perfect fit, but I've read Geek Girl by Holly Smale.

It's a book for teens, so I'm not the target group. Didn't enjoy it much, but 10 - 15 years ago I'd have liked it I guess.

Not related to the documentary film "Geek Girls" by Gina Hara. I'm planning to also watch this though.

[Britany]

Finished Euphoria by Lily King

I read The Shadows by JR Ward, which was mostly because I was trying to catch up on the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, lol. Fortuitously, there is a movie with the same name, so it worked out!

[Jess]

I used C.J. Box's Open Season for this prompt. Even though it's a relatively contemporary mystery, it would also fit the "A Western" prompt.

[Kim]

I used his first in the series as my "Western" prompt. I will be reading more!

[Cindi]

I was going to use "The Tourist" for this (book by Olen Steinhauer and movie starring Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie) but I couldn't get into the book - the movie was interesting, though.

Then I discovered that a book I had on my shelf, unread, "Indian Summer" by Aaron Mahnke shares a title with a movie made in 1993 starring Alan Arkin, Matt Craven, Diane Lane and Bill Paxton. Since I want to read my TBR books, I think I'll go with this one.

[Tara]

I have been wanting to read Jason Reynolds for awhile. I just finished listening to the audiobook of Ghost and it was really delightful. It's a middle grade novel about a young man with some personal struggles who unexpectedly joins a track team. It was really good and definitely completely unrelated to the 1990 film of the same name starring Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze, so it's perfect for this prompt.

[Brittany]

I just started The Other Woman for this prompt. Here’s the link for its same name movie. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2203939/

[Aoife]

Candy by Kevin Brooks

[Heather L]

I used an older Nora Roberts book, Spellbound, for this one. The 1945 movie starred Ingrid Bergman and Gregory Peck.

[Shelley]

I had a Dungeons and Dragons book on my TBR that I have no idea where it came from, but it's called Homeland and has nothing to do with American politics, so that worked.

[Lilith]

I read The Follower for this prompt, and really enjoyed it.

I reread In the Woods over the weekend, and it was just as gooood and satisfying the second time around.

[Marie-Eve]

I decided to go with Legend

It had been on my TBR shelf forever, and it was on sale on Kobo...
i just decided to read even if it didnt fit (in my head) any of the prompts, then just for fun, googled Legend.
found a movie with Tom Hardy from 2015.
Works for me! haha

[Outi]

I just finished The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes - and Why and while googling it I found out there's also a movie called The Unthinkable but totally unrelated to the book. I'll count it although the book name has some additional details (those are in small print on the cover so I see "The Unthinkable" as the actual title).

[E.R.]

I've been wanting to read The Power by Naomi Alderman, and lucky there was a 1968 movie with that same title!

[emily trinkle]

I read A Little Life and wasn’t sure what prompt it should go under. Then I found out there was a film about a Chinese Opera made in 1998!

[Rebekah]

I just got the book I chose for this prompt in the mail and I'm really excited to start reading it. I have to admit this prompt stumped me for a while because every book I found that had the same title as a TV show or movie, was related to the same. I went through my whole To-Read list and finally found one that works perfectly. I have chosen Dark Tide: The Great Boston Molasses Flood of 1919 by Stephen Puleo. I discovered that there was a film called Dark Tide in 2012 starring Halle Berry, which is a typical shark attack movie, and thankfully has absolutely nothing to do with a deadly molasses flood.

[Jill]

I read Conviction by Denise Mina. The Movie is Conviction with Hillary Swank. :)

[Dedra ~ A Book Wanderer]

I just finished Summer Hours for this prompt, which is also the title of a French film. I loved it! It's a great beach read or book club pick, too.

[Renee]

Read - great nordic noir

[Claire]

I read After Darkness by J F Johns for this - it's also the name of a sci-fi film directed by Batán Silva and starring Tim Daly, Natalia Dyer, Kyra Sedgwick, John Patrick Amedori and Valorie Curry. (I've not seen the film though!)

[Erin]

I was struggling with this one - but I read three women (Lisa Taddeo) earlier this year, and I’ve just seen there is a movie called 3 women if that helps anyone!

[Delia]

I decided to go with The Deep for this prompt.

[Emily]

Rereading This Must Be The Place by Kate Racculia that is not the same as the Sean Penn movie from a few years ago.

[Jessica]

I had a question on this prompt. According to Goodreads the Woman in the Window by AJ Finn is listed as a book that fulfills this prompt, How?
When you Google this title it is DIRECTLY related to the movie that came out in 2020. I was going to use this book for that prompt because I started the 2020 challenge late and just happened to read it in 2020, but I don’t know if Goodreads made a mistake.

I read “Humans” by Brandon Stanton.

[Sarah]

I read Outbreak by Robin Cook.

[Mande]

The Last Mile

[Anshita]

I've been in a reading rut for the past few weeks, so I've decided to read one of my favorite author's work, Love by Toni Morrison for this prompt. There are numerous movies and tv shows based on this title.

[Virginia]

I listened to the audiobook Swing. There was an unrelated movie about a rowing team: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10314548/.
