Thanks, I'm using this challenge as an "excuse" to check out the erotic PNR. hehe >:)
Movie: Hogfather by Terry PratchettOutside genre: Merle's Door Lessons from a Freethinking Dog by Ted Kerasote
Mod
Movie:Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris
Outside my usual genre: Soul Mates Bound by Blood - Ok this one was a book I put aside because I couldnt get into it at first.. as its a genre I am not really used to and is not a normal read for me.
So in light of this months challenge I am picking it back up and reading it for the challenge.
I'm going to attempt this, but no promises. It'll all depend on if I can get caught up with my reviews.Book to Movie: Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist
Outside my usual genre: Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters by Ben H. Winters & Jane Austen - while this sounds like something my site would cover, I've never read an Austen novel, and really have no desire to, but this one sort of amuses me.
Mod
Twilight would have done it good but I already read that! lol
So I am still searching.
Does made for TV movies count, I am thinking of all the Nora Roberts movies that came out over the summer?Otherwise I will have to think on it some more.

I think I can do this one.1. New Genre - literature?
The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing by Melissa Bank
2. book to movie
Not Forgotten by Nancy Holder (Angel TV show)
Oh I think I will use this as an "excuse" to read Twilight - i have been considering reading it for a while now and this will be the perfect "excuse" to do so, LOLAs for a new genre of book, I may also try the Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters by Ben H. Winters & Jane Austen but have to say if it is to "Jane Austen" I will be abandoning it, I have tried a number of times to read her and just can't get into her style of writing.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies isn't by the same author, but it did get some rave reviews.
The challenges for November are:1 - a book from a genre you don't normally read
-
2 -
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Ok, I think I have finally figured out what I want to go with for:1 - new genre - non-fiction/memoir
Eat, Pray, Love One Woman's Search for Everything

Tribute
Mod
I have not started yet on my monthly reading /sigh
Plus I go out of town toward the end of the month to visit family for Thanksgiving.. though I will probably take a book or two with me just in case I get time :D
One down, one to go!
2 - Movie/TV Show:
Grrr... I may have to bow out of the November challenge. I've rearranged my TBR book stacks, and now I can't find my copy of Blood Price (for the movie challenge)!Let that be a lesson: organization is not all it's cracked up to be.
*huffs* Maybe I can still find it...
Read a book from a genre you don't normally read to expand your horizons: Read a book that was made into a movie OR television show:

PNR & UF Group November Challenge:2/2
1 - Read a book from a genre you don't normally read to expand your horizons. (I like cozy mysteries but I've never read stuff by the old classic masters like Agatha Christie or Ellery Queen.)
2 - Read a book that was made into a movie OR television show.
I signed up for this one but I have to back out. Yeah I know there's only a week left but I have so many books I need to read for other challenges that reading something out of my comfort zone just isn't going to happen. :(

Good choices! "
Not looking good! I have not had a change to start either one.
arg, I'm gonna have to bow out of this one as well. I haven't even started one, and the other one was to boring to continue.:c
That makes what 4....I have to say that I got stuck on a very long contemporary romance and never even started either of them. I kept hoping to, but I didn't! Sorry.
Outside my genreF/F romance:
