Romance Book Movie Adaptions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve actually been in a reading slump lately and I can’t seem to find my way out of it. I don’t think it’s so much the books as it is my ability to concentrate. That’s because the writing is going well and when that happens I don’t really have room in my head for anyone else’s story but mine. Which is a could thing. That’s part of my process. I’ll likely switch from reading romance to something entirely different. Until then I did watch some movie adaptions of romance books in August. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Happiness for Beginners by Katherine Center<\/strong>. I LOVED this book, which means, you guessed it, I did not love the movie. I liked the movie. But compared to the book, it’s just okay. Of course, there was no way to bring all the book had to the screen but they tried. It’s a nice, easy watch. You can find it on Netflix. But definitely pick up a Katherine Center book if you haven’t already. She’s my new auto buy author.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Red, White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuinston<\/strong>. Another very popular book. I knew Amazon Prime was making the movie so I decided to read the book first. Confession: I didn’t finish it. Not because it wasn’t a great book but because it’s very much got a new adult feel to it and that’s just not my jam. But I enjoyed the movie version. Definitely check it out, if you’re interested. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire<\/strong>. So…another new adult story. I didn’t bother trying to read the book this time. Also, I remember when it came out in 2011, some had problems with the nature of the main characters’ relationship.Travis was a real jerk and Abby kept forgiving his bad behaviour. I’ve read that the movie version makes significant changes that improve their relationship’s dynamic. I have to say, it worked. I really enjoyed it. Out of the three movies I’ve listed, it’s my favourite when I expected the opposite. Both the main actors did a great job. It was funny. Sometimes, cringingly. But it had some serious moments too. I would recommend it. Amazon Prime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s to romance book movie adaptions! We need more of them while we wait impatiently for Bridgerton Season 3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until next time…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s everyone else been watching? I need recommendations!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
