Today we are celebrating the film adaptation of a beloved classic, A WRINKLE IN TIME by Madeleine L'Engle. Who else is excited to see A WRINKLE IN TIME movie this weekend?? I. Can. Not. Wait. With Disney at the helm and Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling and Oprah Winfrey starring as Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who and Mrs. Which, you know it's going to be epic! In honor of the upcoming movie, @macmillankidsbooks sent us a special movie tie-in edition of AWiT and a copy of BECOMING MADELEINE , a biography of the author of A WRINKLE IN TIME written by her granddaughters.

For so many reasons, which you can read about here if you're interested. So you can imagine my surprise when the credits started rolling and I realized I really liked this movie . Like . . . a lot. *I'm going into the rest of this chat under the assumption that you have read MJ and know what to expect.* So why did I like the movie so much better than the book? I think there were a lot of factors, ...

 This week's topic is  Top Ten Book To Movie Adaptations I'm Looking Forward To, which was actually really fun to research, because some of these? Yeah, I totally didn't know that they were even optioned, let alone going to be PRODUCED. I live under a rock apparently!  THE HUNGER GAMES: Mockingjay Part II (November 20, 2015) - because Peeta. Duh. No, just kidding. I adore THG. I have since I picked the very first book up my senior year of high school. I am obsessed, and even though, I'm devastated that it's finally coming to an end (only kind of coming to an end, since they are talking about that AMUSEMENT PARK IN GEORGIA!!!!!), I'm excited to see the final chapter brought to life.  Obsidian (??) - So this was recent news for me. I love this series, and I'm super excited that it's finally coming to movie screens for other people to enjoy. HOT ALIENS. Everyone need...
