"London was licking her lips for the fruits of sin."

This is such a good line. I am loving McCann's writing style. For being historical, I think she's done a great job of making the language beautiful instead of boring (I feel like a lot of historical fiction that I've read was not good at balancing lyricism and historical accuracy).

I saw some posts on here about good vs bad books adaptations, and it got me thinking about books that probably shouldn't or can't be adapted and why.

I know before the recent Dune movie releases people were saying that it would be too difficult to make a good adaption of the book due to the scale, need for special effects, etc. (Yet, the movies turned out really really good imo.) I just finished Coldwire and that's another one that I don't think can be adapted in a way that would work well- iykyk.

What are some books that you think shouldn't or can't be adapted into a tv show or movie?

Heyyyyyyaalll. I miss those "if you liked xx show, read this book" typa recomendation and i thought it would be fun to do that. Any recs? Ill go first. If you liked the german show dark you should def try out more than this by Patrick ness! I dunno i just thought it would be fun👻

Hi guys! Im REALLY bored right now and I thought it could be a good idea to maybe recommend some 5⭐️ books with songs! That way you can explore music and books at the same time. Basically you just have to match a books with a song that connects to the book. Like the feeling you get (it doesn’t have to be lyrics) I find this incredibly hard myself so feel no pressure to write anything😊

I will start with: ✨Book: A good girls guide to murder by holly Jackson.📖 ✨Song: Good girls by Josie Edwards.🎶

(Sorry if there is any spelling errors in this post, English is not my native language so I often make a lot of mistakes🥲) Thanks!
