Well hello there! My name is Lydia, and I am going to be writing a new feature here at Common Room all about book to film, TV, radio adaptations. This isn’t going to be a review of said book or film, but more of a compare-contrast because that is something I really enjoy doing.
I love to read, and my favorite genres are fantasy and science fiction, but I read just about any genre. I’m also a big fan of nonfiction, but I can be picky with my nonfiction reads. I write a non-YA book review blog over at the IGGPPC, and also write about my newbie adventures in cooking. I haven’t had anything disastrous happen yet when cooking (but if I do, I fully plan on documenting it).
I am pretty excited to do this feature, and I already have a few books in mind. I will make a quick note: I am not likely to review new movies because I don’t get out to the theatre all that often. There are several I would love to see, but time and money don’t always allow for it so I usually rely on Netflix. So, expect several older books to films/TV shows/radio broadcasts. And who knows, I might just surprise you all with a new book to film adaptation at some point!
I hope you enjoy this fun little feature, and if you have any books to film, TV, radio adaptations to suggest, go for it! Can’t promise I’ll get to it right away, but I do love suggestions and growing my to-read and to-watch lists.
Wait, what’s that? Oh, I didn’t mention the name of this feature? Ah, well, thanks to my dear friend Valerie, it has a lovely name – Twice Upon a Time. I look forward to sharing some of my favorites and working with everyone here at Common Room!
Until next time!
