Today
let's talk about books that have series. I want to see some of my favorite
mystery series on the big screen or on television. First and foremost I
want would love to see Carolyn Hart's Max & Annie bookstore mysteries made
into a series of movies. I don't think we have enough bookstore mysteries and
these would make an endearing addition. Speaking of bookstores and movies what
about the bookstore mysteries that have a ghost in them? Wouldn't that be great
fun to watch?
I'm
not done with my Hollywood and television wishlist of movies and series shows.
I want to see Monica Ferris's stitch shop mysteries. I have to see Goddy in a
series an Betsy. This would also probably recruit more readers and stitchers by
way of plots and characters. Of course I can't leave out Lorraine Barrett's and
Lorraine Bartlett's Series. The booktown series just makes want to grab a snack
and start watching. Then the Victoria Square Series has my heart and what a
great premise for Hollywood.
Now
while I am dreaming I am dreaming of EJ Copperman's ghost series. I actually
think this would make a great family movie/s series. They could come out once a
year. You couldn't ask for a nicer author except maybe Jeff Cohen shusssh don't
tell EJ I said that.
BTW
backing up for a minute. It's Carolyn Hart's series that gave me the writing
inspiration. When the late Monette Cummings gave me my first Carolyn Hart
Mystery I wanted to write like her when I grew up. BUT when I grew up I found
Lorraine's booktown series and I literally sat down and cried because I KNEW
she had my gratitude for writing this series. (It came at a very bad time in my
life) and I will forever be grateful she penned this series.)
Historical
fiction/mysteries have come a long ways. I love love love Carola Dunn's Series.
I also can't brag enough about Emily Brightwell's Series. Mrs. Jefferies makes
me want to time travel back be a part of that household. Of course I can't
leave out Kerry Greenwood because her series actually is a tv series. At least
by way of Netflix and I have devoured them.
I
would love to add to my wishlist the Joanne Fluke Mysteries but I don't think
they would sit well time after time with viewers because of the love
triangle. It does get on everyone's nerves and all of the books later I don't
rush to buy the next one anymore. This is my blog for today. What does and
doesn't work for me.
Pam
These would all be great series if done right.
ReplyDeleteAnd I really want to watch the Phryne Fisher series at some point.
And I agree on the love triangle in the Fluke books, it was annoying me after a while reading them...
Terri
I would like to see them as well as the Mrs. Pollifax series, M.M.Kaye's Death in series, and Dorothy Dunnett's Johnson Johnson series. I'd never leave home then. LOL
ReplyDeleteMrs. Pollifax would be good. Terri I know you will love Phryne they do cross over very well as series mysteries. They don't limit her surroundings either one of my favorites takes place on a train.
ReplyDeleteLove your list of books to movies
