A Couple of Books I think need Adaptations

 Have you ever read a book that was so good that you thought "this would make a perfect movie or tv show?" That's how I feel about the books on this list.

What books do you think need adaptations? 

1. Heartless by Marissa Meyer-it's a retelling of Alice in Wonderland and a villain origin story all rolled into one! Lots of people love those two tropes. They'd work perfectly in a movie.

2. Fake Dates and Mooncakes by Sher Lee-an Achillean (gay) romance story with a diverse cast, set in New York City, and involves cooking. Might be perfect who people who are fans of Heartstopper and similar pieces of media. 

3. The Cupcake Diaries series by Coco Simon-I could see these being an animated series for young kids.

4. The Blue Castle by LM Montgomery-a movie adaptation of this might attract people who like historical fiction and romance. Perfect for cottagecore lovers, too!

5. Any of Margaret Peterson Haddix's books, such as the Shadow Children series-they are all intense mysteries that talk about real world issues. I think most of them can be stand-alone movies, but the Shadow Children series might work better as a TV series. 

6. The Serafina series by Robert Beatty-historical fantasy books. Enough said. Perfect for a TV series. Animated or live-action. If they were live action, it'd be awesome if they could film on location in Asheville, NC. A lot of movies are already filmed there, anyway.

7. Any of Sharon Creech's books, such as Absolutely Normal Chaos-they're all character-driven books that talk about real world issues. I could see movies of them being big hits with kids and their families. 

8. Any of Kelly Barnhill's books, such as The Girl Who Drank the Moon-they all have this magical, whimsical, Studio Ghibli-like vibe to them. I wish Studio Ghibli could adapt at least one of them!

The Baker and The Bard Review

Image
  A cozy little fantasy adventure with queer representation! The Baker and the Bard by Fern Haught follows two friends, Juniper and Hadley. They work at a bakery and sometimes perform at an inn. One day their boss at the bakery sends them on a mission to get some glowing oyster mushrooms in a big forest for a big order a rich customer places. The friends get notice that several crops nearby are failing. They find out the cause is because of giant caterpillars that belong to a fey (fairy) named Thistle. It turns out, the fey caterpillars have some problems of their own. Juniper and Hadley find a way to help Thistle and get the mushrooms they need for the bakery. I gave it 5 stars. It's such a simple, but magical story! I think this book is perfect if you're in the mood for some adventure but with not very high stakes. Kind of like Legends and Lattes! There is also queer rep in this book. Hadley and Thistle are nonbinary, and Juniper and Hadley become a Sapphic couple.

I Started Reading the Call the Name of the Night manga series!

Image
  I hope this becomes a new favorite series! Call the Name of the Night by Tama Mitsuboshi is about Mira--a girl with a rare condition where everytime she gets anxious, everything around her gets engulfed in darkness and it scares people. She is currently living with a doctor and magician named Rei, who is researching her rare condition and will maybe find a cure for it. Mira's daily life with Rei is rather chill: she usually reads books, helps Rei with cooking, plays with little shadow creatures,  and hangs out in the garden.  One day, an old, rather sketchy acquaintance of Rei's names Cartos comes to visit, and Mira ends up learning something about herself she never knew.  So far, I am loving this!  I gave this first volume 5 stars .  I love the heartwarming magical cottagecore vibes and the gorgeous pictures. it's like a more chill version of Witch Hat Atelier, in my opinion.  I also love the dynamic between Mira and Rei! I have a feeling Cartos will continue being a so

Favorite Childhood Online Games

Did you play any of these as a kid? I don't play on any of the ones that require an account anymore (plus Club Penguin no longer exists and my Webkinz account expired a long time ago), but the other ones I still play once in a while! 1. Webkinz-   I still have all 50 of my Webkinz (the stuffed animals in real life, I mean)!  Webkinz was everything to me all throughout elementary school.  2. Club Penguin- I played this one mostly in fourth and fifth grade (ages 9-10). It was a lot of fun! Although it was way more fun if you were a member (which I wasn't).  3. Poptropica- I always made my character look like me. Did you know the creator of this game is also the author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid ? 4. Funbrain- My favorites on here were the swinging game, the one where a guy runs on logs, Mighty Girl/Guy, and the Star Climber. They also had some online books, like Tess's Tree and the earliest draft of Wimpy Kid . 5. AddictingGames- well, I mostly played Red Remover on here. At one
