Top Ten Tuesdays is a meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week's topic is: Top Ten Books You'd Love to See as a Movie.
Guess what? It seems like any and every popular YA book these days is quickly optioned for a movie treatment. I couldn't limit my list to just 10! Here's my list of Top 15 (possibly) upcoming books to movies.
1. Delirium - Lauren Oliver
This was optioned as a movie, then filmed as a TV pilot for a series, but not picked up. Will it ever see the light of day?
2. Firelight - Sophie Jordan
2. Firelight - Sophie Jordan
I loved this book. I barely remember the non-dragon twin sister, but I bet they could feature lots of drama with her jealously staring down her sibling.
3. House of Night - PC Cast
I'm curious if they'll tone down the paganism in a big screen adaptation of this book series.

4. Paranormalcy - Kierstan White
This would be a lot of fun.
5. The Forest of Hands and Teeth - Carrie Ryan

I am a sucker for stories that take place at boarding schools.
7. Divergent - Veronica Roth

Interesting! It was was news to me that some of the titles you've listed have already been optioned for films. Not a great surprise, I suppose, considering the popularity of YA adaptations!
