This Tuesday the ‘Interesting Ten’ list of books that are adapted to films anno 2019.

Or maybe a fan of the director or the producer… and ten more reasons why you are probably in a way interested in one of these films.

Summary motivation
I am very curious for ‘A Dogs Journey’ and ‘The Aftermath’ to read beside watching the film one day. The book ‘Artemis Fowl’ I have read a long time ago. The first sequel of this series I read in English. But at that time I did not understand everything so I think if I like the film, I should reread it and give the series another try. I am also curious for the books ‘Five Feet Apart’ and ‘The Sun is also a Star’. And I love to compare later on these books with the films.
Do you like it to compare a book with a film?
