Let’s Talk About Book To Movie Adaptations |BOOKMAS DAY 4| 

You should do a video of who you’d cast if your favorite books were made into movies/series!

can we acknowledge that Sam Claflin is the KING of book to movie adaptations :D

ur bookmas is literally everything

Enjoying bookmas is an understatement!! Also I 100% agree about twilight and hunger games. Twilight being cringe is true but yes we all still watch the movies and will until we die! the point is that they didn’t change major plot points and kept changes overall to a minimum. Hunger Games was so spot on that it’s definitely my favorite series to get an adaptation. I really enjoy the trend of a mini series for books because it’s the only way to really get it right these days. Great casting, not a rushed story that forces them to cut things, and visuals done right. Hoping they don’t screw up Evelyn Hugo and daisy jones

Heartstopper is one of the few good adaptations and im soo thankful (its my alltime fav comfort read) and i know the fear about people judging it solely by the series

THANK YOU. I will admit, I love the after series. It was such a big part of the beginning of my teenage years, and I was BEYOND thrilled that they were becoming a movie series. I watched the first movie in theaters the DAY it came out and let me tell you… I left that theater crying because I was so upset. It made me FURIOUS how much they changed. Especially things about their relationship and the things that made Hardin himself and what made Tessa herself. It was just so bad. So thank you for bringing this up. I love you.

The worst book to movie adaptation I’ve ever seen was Love & Gelato. LOVED the book, couldn’t get through more than 20 minutes of the movie. So, so different. Fun video!

I am TERRIFIED they are going to ruin acotar in the show adaptation 😭😭😭

I cannot get over the fact some directors absolutely RUIN! I mean RUIN books that I love. It ruins my day.

I read ‘you’ by Caroline Kepnes randomly on a plane ride a few years before the first season was announced on Netflix and my sheer excitement and surprise has not been met since then, such a good feeling and one of my favorite adaptations!

Idc what anyone says bc the part in breaking dawn part 2 where they have the fight scene is still one of the most influential movie scenes for me lol

loving bookmas so far!! :)

Yesss of course we are LOVING BOOKMAS!!! Thank you Destiny for putting so much effort into this!! ❤

ok so hear me out as a film student. a screen writer explained to us that sometimes they write screenplays and then link it to a book or play that is somewhat similar after the screenplay is written. in order for producers to bother making the movie they want to make sure people will watch it, so they tie it with something that already has a fan base. the film industry is all about making money. I understand people's frustration when movies change a lot, but it is more than likely because they are not trying to follow the book.

I read Where The Crawdads Sing and then I went and saw the movie and I just sat there the whole time thinking “yeah it didn’t happen like that in the book” 🥴

I loved the twilight books and the movies. Definitely one of the good adaptions. Also loved the adaptation of where the crawdads sing xx

Destiny!! You’re killing the content! Been loving all the vlogmas vids! 🤭😍

I honestly did not like the after movies from the second one, the movies are not it, I feel like they shouldn't even be together coz they soo toxic🤧

I LOVE HEARING YOUR THOUGHTS AND ALL OF YOUR RAMBLING!!!

Destiny. Love your videos however could I please make a suggestion. The microphone: it does make you louder however because you talk with your hands so much and I stream you through my hearing aids your going from loud to softer to loud again and it starts to give me a headache is there a way to clip it to your shirt or something so that your volume and tone is consistent? Thanks for sharing your love of books with us! Merry Christmas!

I love your channel, and I completely agree with this video. but i just wanted to let you know that City of Bones (actually the entire Mortal Instruments series) was adapted into a series (much better) after the movie failed. the series is called shadowhunters.

I honestly always enjoy your bookmas!

about the mortal instruments, i'll literally never get over. i really loved the first book it was just magical to read, so i was so damn excited that they were making the first movie (actually as soon as the first one was released they were filming for the second book as well but after the review from city of bones they put the production on hold and then cancelled) anyways, as i was saying, it does makes me sad bc the problem was the SCRIPT. all the actors were fine, the acting was ok for me, AND the chemistry between lily and jamie i could just DIE thinking about it! also doesn't help that they were actually in love during the movie and dated for almost 1 year before breaking up AND later got back to stay more monthsssss together again

YES BESTIE ME BEFORE IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITES THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING IT

These videos literally make my day!!! I love your videos❤❤❤

I could literally listen to you talk for hours also loving then new microphone!! xx

when it comes to the mortal instruments I saw the movie when it came out after starting the book series and will say Shadowhunters the tv show, though I do remember it having it's own differences obviously it was a stronger adaptation of the Shadowhunter universe so it was good it got a second chance of being adapted. This is coming from someone too who doesn't read a lot of fantasy. So would recommend checking it out.

You're are killing bookmas, i literally only come onto youtube to watch your videos. Ive only recently found your channel and you have quickly become my favourite youtuber 🤩

a rare case where the movie was better than the book was my policeman in my opinion. I did love the writing of the book and it was truly a beautiful book and story but there are a few parts in the movie that were harder to describe in writing so got more emotion out of me when I was seeing them with my own eyes (mainly the very last scene)

loved this video so much!!! me before you is suuuuuuuch a good adaptation in my opinion, i reread the book this year and some quotes were literally kept the exact same in the movie, i will forever cherish this adaptation 💞💕💝💘💖💗💓

Absolutely LOVING bookmas!!

really enjoy these type of videos bc it’s very relaxing and interesting

Your bookmas is the biggest vibe

Hunger Games is top tier for me for sure

THE DEDICATION I LOVEEE YOU

yay! i love book/movie boyfriends and books lol. i read the acotar series first, excited for the movies or show. i was a jacob fan for twilight, sorry edward made me mad. lol ilyyyyyy

If you see me liking your most recent videos it’s because i’m CATCHING UP!!!! Love your videos and i’m soooo enjoying Bookmas!!!

Everyday im looking forward to ur bookmas videos, these videos make my day much better thank youu for the videos🤍

Love how you're trying new things ! :) 👌🏻🌸

i am loving your commentary youtuber era! you should really incorporate more commentary videos into your usual videos xx

U should so read his dark materials and then watch the TV show! I love them both!!!! :)))) Love ur bookmas series so far! :)

love the vid! was waiting for you to talk about where the crawdads sing tho lol

name suggestion for your sit down videos🗽 “My Mind’s a Library”

For the city of bones series, you should watch the tv show and make the comparison. I loved the tv show (on hulu) and i literally only watched 20 mins of the movie since it was so bad!

I was a teenager during the Twilight era and yes I loved the books so much (went to a midnight release party for the final book) but absolutely hated the movies. I haven't read the books in about 12 ish years and I really want to re-read them soon and see what I think of them as a full grown adult 😅

Stop I loved this so much

OH MAH GOSH. In my opinion the city of bones movie is a little more accurate towards the book than the show, but you have GOT to finish the series it gets so much better

I feel like the bad adaptioons happen less with TV shows. In fact, a TV show can even IMPROVE upon books, because you can flesh out and spend more time with characters, whereas with movies every moment is supposed to matter. That doesn't mean it always does and in movie adaptions of books they tend to forget this, like they feel they can throw whatever in in oprtions and it'll go over well. But a great book to TV show adaption is Just Add Magic, and the books themselves are kind of wonky, but the show is GENIUS, the characters amazing, everythign so riveting. And like maybwe something literary such as Where the Crawdads Sing can do what people want to in a film, and also YA romance should, such as To All the Boys, and then if it's a book to movie series, like they individualize the films, instead of rushing everything, then yeah, that can go well too. I do NOT count a trilogy as a series though. It has to have four or more books to qualify. Therefore, the Hugner Games last two movies messing up doesn't contradict what I just said. It is a trilogy, it can easily bungle things. Same for Divergent. And to further confirm my thoery, Twilight has five movies, from four books. And yes, some fans of the books have issues with the films, but they still do enough alike the books and even the alterations made were acceted, and perhaps with the resurgence people apperciate it even more than they did back in 2008-2012 when these movies were comign out.

Omg I made a comment about there’s someone inside your house before , saying how bad this pissed me off. Girl do you remember how Ollie was described? He was described as this pink haired, pieced, social outcast bad boy lil hottie so when the movie came out I was like “ a hot bad boy? Hell yeah” just to see someone that looked the complete polar opposite and im like “ who tf is that?” And don’t even get me started on the kill scenes. Literally, the first kill scene in the movie didn’t even fucking happen in book with a completely different character , and all the characters that did get killed off did so completely wrong. they left out all the best parts……this movie brings out a different type of anger in me lmao😂

Me chanting please not the divergent series when you mentioned any of the bad ones 😂

if netflix ruins the seven husbands of evelyn hugo i will be committing war crimes

I love Bookmas Destiny🤎

Sooo true about all your opinions, but more especially « After ». The books were good but OMG the movies are so bad… My friend and I were so shock about Hardin!? We weren’t expecting him hahaha

your content is immaculate

Ahhh I just love your videos

I agree the summer I turned pretty is really good.Also the maze runner had good movies the books weren’t that great.The adaption that’s really bad is all the mortal instruments ,the show and the movie is bad all around but Jamie killed it.After was really bad ,the first movie was okay but the other ones were as hot mess lmaoo

I need to get on my movie grind my friends always make fun of me bc I’ve barely watched any movies

I’m only 26, but when you said that you were in elementary school when the Hunger Games came out, it made me feel SO old 😅 I was in high school when those came out.

bookmas but november in the background😂

Don't worry about judging movies bc they're different from the books, all of us readers do it too lol

Twilight 👏🏻👏🏻 idc what anyone says, it’s good

also love rosie aka the best romance movie of all time

Me before you is the greatest movie.

Hii where is your sweater from? it's so cute love your style...

where did you get the posters in the background??? they're so cute

i watched along for the ride which is a movie of along for the ride by sarah dessen and i thought they did a really good job w it, there were some small differences but overall really similar

not des saying adaption instead of adaptation the entire vid 😭😭

This is a weird example, but when I was younger, I read the upside down magic series. Fast forward, and I find out there's a movie. Honestly, the only similar thing is the names of the characters.

I still need to watch the shadow and bone tv show. I didn't like the immortal movie but have you seen the tv show for city of bones yet? The tv show is a lot better than the movie...

you are so funny des 😆

2022 was the year of book to movie adaptation announcements lol it was crazy...the love triangle of twilight confuses me bc Jacob never imprinted on Bella so even if they did date it wouldn't have lasted since she wasn't his mate

I was in an absolute CHOKEHOLD with Hunger Games. I stg to this day, the books and movies are SO good. #TeamPeeta4eva Speaking on movie adaptations, All the Bright Places was SO bad. It made me so mad because I feel like people liked the movie and they would love the book so much more! WAIT and also Divergent. IT WAS SO BAD THEY DIDN'T EVEN FINISH THEM! So sad because the books were so good!

Please don’t cringe but I love the After series movies. I just feel like for Hardin there is truly so much growth in him and how much of a struggle it was to get there but that people do struggle and it was to me also about growing up and crap happens relationships happen the good bad and ugly. ❤

My most favorite book when I was young was All the bright places by Jennifer Niven and then years later the movie came out and how they meet in the book was not how they meet in the movie they completely changed the whole story !!

im very nervous for the ACOTAR adaption😭 i dont want them to ruin it omg

Love this (:

I’d say… In her Shoes- the movie was better than the book. Confessions of a shopaholic- different but cute in different ways. My best friend’s exorcism- I can understand why they made the changes they made for the movie but the book was better. The maze runner movies- I loved the first one but the second movie was terrible. And I love Hunger Games- Agree with you on that one!

6:18 I was Team Jacob. Overall though I am more of a Harry Potter person. Have you read Midnight Sun yet Destiny? 9:15 Completely agree. 10:46 I love The Hunger Games…much better than Twilight honestly.

It’s my birthday today! I’m going to Barnes, I’m so excited

Okay but I’m lovinggg the tiny mic holding 😂 it’s adorable

❤❤❤❤

❤❤

where was the divergent series and gone girl ???

3:29 it has tho, normal people

Love & Gelato was terrible too, I was so excited for it but couldn't make it through the first 10 minutes.

Im crossing my fingers that they don’t ruin the adaptation to daisy jones and the six or a good girls guide to murder. They are my favourite books and i would hate for them to get ruined!! the summer i turned pretty was such an amazing adaptation love and gelato movie was horrible.

What about the shadow hunters show though?? 🙃

i think harry potter def fits under the good

loved the vid, love bookmas, but DESTINY it is an absolute SIN that Harry Potter was not included in this list

When One of us is lying became a tv show I was so exited however they changed too much for my liking

normal people is the only adaption ever

I was waiting for the you series and where the crawdads sing😢

I'm so nervous about watching 'The Girl on the Train' because that book changed me. I know that movie will not give since it's not even set in London 😒

I watched the first Twilight movie and also read the first book and I didn’t enjoy either of them 😭😭 But it’s only my opinion!!

I am genuinely scared of the person I will become when the ACOTAR show/movie comes out…

So sad that you don’t like the After series because it’s my favorite series of all time. I also feel like the movies only really make sense if you’ve read the books

I read My Sisters Keeper by Jodi Picoult and then say there was a movie adaptation. It was bad and the ending was not even what happened in the book and I’m like why did you have to change that detail???

I was waiting for “one of us is lying” I’m still devastated with the series! 🥹

i'm surprised u didn't talk about the hating game

See like I absolutely hated the summer I turned pretty book, so thus I never want to watch the show 😅
