Cool idea!! Will definitely sign up in a bit...........just gotta add it to my Blogfest list etc :) I think the real trick will be to try and remember (and/or figure out :P) all the book/movie combos I've seen.

Misha said...

This sounds like a cool idea, although I can't think of all that many books/stories.

Old Kitty said...

Sounds like fun!!!! I'm trying very hard to think of titles other than Jane Austen's novels! LOL! take care

Tony Benson said...

What a great idea! I'm not sure I'd be able to come up with many, but I'll give it some thought.

Madeleine said...

Really I am astounded! Honestly? I'm sure that can't be true. :O0

T C Mckee said...

Oh wow, this is taking too much of my brain power right now. I'm only half way through my first cup of coffee. I know I've seen a ton though. Hum...

M Pax said...

Thanks for the link to help job my memory. :D Looking forward to it.

Summer Ross said...

I posted this on my blogfest page

Donea Lee said...

Sounds like fun!! I'll have to see what I can come up with - there's the obvious blockbusters, of course...but, I'll dig for a few more obscure novel/movie adaptations. I'm in! :)

The Golden Eagle said...

It sounds like fun! :) I can think of several titles right off the bat. I signed up--and the button is on my page.

Josh Hoyt said...

This is a great idea I'll have to start thinking about it.

Michael Di Gesu said...

What a great idea Madeleine! I'm looking forward to it.

Arlee Bird said...

Why are you tempting me like this? I can resist this one so I'm in. There are so many I could name, but I'll try to keep my list short.

Rachna Chhabria said...

Sounds like a good idea, Madeleine. Trying to see if I can remember all the names.

Su said...

Hmmm... this will be a test of how many movies I've seen (hint: Not many).

Donna Hole said...

Not sure yet if I'll be on blog holiday, but I posted it to my events calendar and so that will remind me to stop back by and sign up if I can.

sounds like a fun event :)

Signed up. Sounds like fun. Two of my favorite things.

Angeline said...

Awesome! I love watching movies of the books I've read.

Michelle Gregory said...

what a great idea and thanks for linking to the movie list. i've seen so many of those and hadn't realized they came from a book. do you just want a list or do you want us to include our take on the differences?

Madeleine said...

Good question Michelle

The fest lasts 3 days so maybe you could post your list up 1st and then do a post on your take on the differences over the following 2 days. :O)

Phil said...

Great contest. As a movie buff/aspiring author, I am doubly excited! And I know just what book I'm going to blog about...

T.D. McFrost said...

Count me in too!

I can't wait to see what everyone else will come up with.

Thanks for hosting this! ^_^

Tonja said...

This is a wonderful idea for a blogfest!

Babydoll said...

Cool! Can't wait to see everyone's!

Laila Knight said...

Okay, this could be cool, but I think I'll limit it to a few books per day. :)

Marsha Sigman said...

I signed up for this but left my comment on a later post. Love the idea and can't wait to participate!

Marcus said...

Neat idea, my first post is done. I'll add more movies later. It's a bit difficult to think of them all at once.

Joyce Lansky said...

I will post this under my Wordless Wednesday picture.

Thanks!
