I have a big confession: I do not subscribe to Netflix! I think one of my kids has an account downloaded to my TV, but it is only watched when they come to visit. I know this is shocking, but I don’t even turn my TV on anymore. My husband watched Inspector Morris the past few months and has now moved on to Endeavor, but other than a few glimpses up from my book reading, I have not watched TV since April. I have to say I haven’t missed it either. The topic of which books should be made into movies/Netflix series always leaves me with mixed emotions. It would be great if wonderful books could reach more people, but frankly I would rather people enjoy the original source. 😉
For this week’s Top 10 Tuesday I am listing historical fiction that I think would make great movies. The books on my list have a number of strengths — great sense of time and place, interesting and perhaps little known topics, strong characters, intrigue, unputdownableness.

That’s a great list of reads here! 🙂 I don’t watch TV either. I watch classic movies.
I do too. 🙂
Before COVID struck, I hardly watched t.v. either. Then, lockdown happened and I picked up my old cross-stitching habit, so I’ve been watching movies and t.v. shows while I do that. Otherwise, I prefer to read. And, I agree, I’m NOT a fan of book-to-movie adaptations. I’d rather Hollywood just leave my favorites alone, thank you very much!
Happy TTT!
