Hi. It’s wednesday again which means that it’s that time of the week again when I bring you the Top 5 Wednesdays, created by gingerreadslainey. If you want to know how T5W works you can go to the Goodreads group by clicking here. This weeks theme is Top 5 Books you Want to See as TV Shows. I prefer TV shows instead of movies because they are longer and that leads to a better character development. So let’s start it and see which books I would like to see as TV shows.
5. The Luxe Series by Anna Godbersen
Who wouldn’t want to see something similar to Gossip Girl but in the beginning of the twentieth century?? This would be everyone guilty pleasure and would be so cool. Can someone make it happen please?
4. Every Day by David Levithan
This book would be amazing as a TV show because of the concept behind it. It would be possible to have a different story in each episode and the main character would have to be played by different actors/actresses in each episode. How cool would it be?
3. Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
I have just finished Throne of Glass and I already think that this should be a TV show. I know that most people would say that this is better in a movie but these books characters deserve much more and a TV show would allow better characters development and a better understanding of the story behind them.
2. The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare
This is a choice that is related to my number 1 pick =). The story is so amazing that I thin that they could do a spin-off to Shadowhunters and create a new TV show with different stories and different characters. (Let’s be real, I want to know who they would pick to play Will)
1. The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare
I know, Shadowhunters is coming… But I’m so excited (and cautious) that I had to put this a my number 1. Let’s just hope that it ends up being better than the movie because the fans deserve a much better adaptation to these books than that movie. And by the way, I know that Robert is not coming back as Simon but can we have Godfrey Gao back as Magnus? Pleaseeee…
So this was my top 5 books I want to see as TV shows. Who would you add to this list?
Whilst I love TID, I don’t know whether I’d want it as a TV show. I think unless they got the casting perfect, I’d hate it… I just love it as a book… 😛

I would love it if they had the perfect cast… I don’t even know who they could choose to play Will and Jem

That’s exactly why I don’t want it as a TV show. I can’t imagine anyone playing Will/Jem/Tessa but Will/Jem/Tessa… 😛

I have seen The Throne of Glass on a lot of lists so far. I really need to get to reading that series.

Hehe, Throne of Glass is on my list too!
Anyway, I haven’t read any of the other books you mentioned but I would like to see Throne of Glass as a TV show! I just couldn’t see a movie doing it justice…

I think the same. If they did a movie they would have to skip a lot of important scenes and I wouldn’t like it so a TV show would be a much better option

Throne of Glass is on my list as well, it’d be a PERFECT TV show! And the only reason I didn’t put TMI on my list it’s because they’re arlready making its TV show but otherwise there would be that one as well! *-*

I’d definitely kill for a The Infernal Devices TV show though I’m pretty sure that no actor will ever match the looks I’ve conjured for Will and Jem!

Every Day would be so good. That needs to happen.
