I personally think that these stories would translate really well into movies or TV shows. There are tons of books that I love that I did not include on this list because I don't think their styles would translate well onto the screen.
The Lunar Chronicles: I think this series would make a good TV show instead of a series of movies due to the large number of characters and the length of the books. I think that the stories in these books would translate well to a TV show format.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians and the Heroes of Olympus: Yes, I do know that there are two Percy Jackson movies, but everyone in the entire world agrees that they were terrible. You know what? I think that this series should be a TV Show. I think that the series is literally perfect for a TV show format. Each book has tons of mini adventures in it, each of which could be one episode. And each book could be a season. Please, universe. Make this happen.
The Kane Chronicles: I think that the Kane Chronicles would make a great TV Show for the same reasons that I think Percy Jackson would.
The Scorpio Races: I think this book would make a great movie.
Legend: There are so many dystopian trilogies out there that are being turned into movies (The Hunger Games, Divergent, The Maze Runner and The 5th Wave). Why not Legend? It's one of my favourite dystopian series.
The Infernal Devices: There is going to be a Mortal Instruments TV Show (dream come true), and I think there should also be an Infernal Devices TV Show.
The Darkest Minds: See Legend. This series is packed with action, and that often translates well to the screen.
Throne of Glass: I think this series would make great movies.
This is a random blog that is mostly about fiction including (but not limited to) Doctor Who, Divergent, Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, Sherlock, the Mortal Instruments, Percy Jackson, Merlin and The 100

March 2015 Updates
Here is what I've been reading and watching in March:
- The 100 season 2 was the best thing ever. I'm not even exaggerating. I liked season 1, but season 2 was on a whole new level. It had literally everything I want in a TV show. A cool plot? Check. Complex and interesting characters? Check. A diverse cast? Check. The show has gone in such an exciting direction. I can't wait for season 3.
- I am watching Elementary season 3 and I want Moriarty to come back. That is all I have to say about that.
- I am currently watching Torchwood. I'm almost done with season 2. I am enjoying it, and I can officially say that it is the weirdest thing I have ever seen.
- I watched Insurgent. Divergent is not my favourite book series ever, but I do like it. I personally thought the first movie was just okay, and I thought the same of the second movie. There were some good things about it and some bad things. Overall, I would say that, as a movie, Insurgent is about as good as Divergent. However, as an adaptation from the book, Insurgent is much worse than Divergent.
- I read both books in the If I Stay duology by Gayle Forman, If I Stay and Where She Went. I liked both books, but I didn't love either of them. From all the amazing reviews they were getting, I thought that I would like these books better.
- I read Fairest by Marissa Meyer, the prequel to the Lunar Chronicles series. I really enjoyed it, though it wasn't very long, which was a bit disappointing. I really enjoyed reading from the villain's perspective. Now I'm super excited to read Winter.
- I finished the Darkest Minds trilogy by Alexandra Bracken with the final two books Never Fade and In the Afterlight. I enjoyed both, and, overall, I thought the trilogy was great. This science fiction series has an interesting plot and memorable characters. I would definitely recommend it.
- I read Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard because literally everyone else in the world was reading it. I don't understand why everyone loved this book so much. It wasn't that it was bad, it just wasn't as extraordinary as I'd hoped it would be. I'm a bit disappointed, but I plan to read the rest of the books in the series whenever they come out.
- I read The Winner's Crime by Marie Rutkoski, sequel to the Winner's Curse. I enjoyed the Winner's Curse, but this book was incredible. I thought the plot and the writing were so much more interesting than in the first book. I can not wait for the final book in this trilogy to come out.
- I read Shadow Scale by Rachel Hartman, the long awaited sequel to Seraphina, and it was amazing. It's definitely my favourite book published in 2015 so far. I has literally everything I want in a book. Everything in it was amazing!!!

February 2015 Updates:
Here is what I've been reading and watching in February:
- I have been watching The 100 season 2 and the show is just getting better and better. Unfortunately, season 2 is almost finished. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with my life if I can't watch The 100.
- I finished watching How to Get Away with Murder season 1, and, boy, was that final episode shocking. I can't wait to see season two. Too bad I have to wait until the fall.
- I am still watching Elementary season 3, and I will be for a while longer because there are just so many episodes. Elementary is headed in a really exciting direction and I can't wait to find out more.
- I finished watching Broadchurch season 2. I was a little bit disappointed with the ending, but I still enjoyed it.
- I finally finished watching Legend of Korra, and I am currently kind of obsessed. Season 4 was definitely my favourite.
- I am currently watching Torchwood season 1. It's very... odd.
- I read The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater. The Raven Cycle is one of my favourite series of all time, and it's by the same author, so I've wanted to read the Scorpio Races for a while. I didn't enjoy is as much as the Raven Cycle, but it was still good.
- I read The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski, the first book in a trilogy. The second book is coming out this year. The book was okay. I liked it enough to read the sequel when it comes out.
- I read Eona by Alison Goodman, the sequel to Eon and the last book in the duology. Wow, it was really good. I am annoyed that their are only two books in the series.
- I read The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson, and the sequel, The Crown of Embers. I enjoyed both books, and I plan on reading the final book in the trilogy soon.
- I read The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black. It was the first book I have read by Holly Black, and the first book I read published in 2015. I liked it more than I thought I would. I'm definitely going to check out Holly Black's other books.
- I read The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken, the first book in a science fiction trilogy. Why didn't I start reading this series sooner? I could not stop reading this book.
- I read The Ruby Circle by Richelle Mead, the last book in the Bloodlines series. I'm not a big fan of Vampire Academy and Bloodlines, but then again, I have read all twelve books. The Ruby Circle was okay, like all the other books in the series.
