Read It First: Book to Movie Adaptations (2018+)


New year, new adaptations!
I love keeping up with these because I do prefer to read the book first and this really helps me stay up to date on what is coming out in the future so I can squeeze it onto my TBR.

I did not keep up with my goals last year but I'm hoping I can fit in at least 10 adaptations this year.

Do you read the book before watching the movie adaptation? Know of any upcoming adaptations that aren't on this list? Let me know in the comments!

Happy New Year from Lazy Day Literature!!! (+2018 TBR)


Hello lovelies!

I feel like I've been gone forever!
I have plenty of excuses why and I'd love to regale you with the adventures we've had since Hurricane Irma, but that wouldn't leave much time for books. 

The end of 2017 was a jumble of reading slumps, trying to stay off the internet, and non-stop 'mom-ing' for me. I wanted a stress free holiday so I gave myself more time for other things and it was nice. I hate that I've been away so long and I feel super guilty for it but I'm hoping I can fit in a few reviews and other posts from time to time even though I'm wayyyy behind. 

My goals for this year are simple. 

Be more present in my home life.
Read more books with my daughter.
Play and explore more.

As much as I love curling up with a book, I also love adventures. I hope I can find a healthy balance between them this year. 

My reading goals are also pretty simple. 
I'm not setting big goals like I usually do. I don't want to focus on a number in 2018. I'm not following any popular challenges. I just want to read and enjoy reading. 

I did put together a list of 100 books I would like to read this year, including books I've purchased recently, books I still need to review, and books coming out soon that I would like to read (and my library already has them on pre-order so I know that I can read them in the future.) 
I'm not limiting myself to this list or hoping that I can read 100 books. I just wanted to make a list. Haha.


Click here to see my 2018 TBR List on ListChallenges
and let me know how many you've already read or are also planning on reading this year! 

 Anywho, I've decided that Paulo Coelho's 'The Alchemist' will be my first read of the year because it's a book I've put off for way too long.

 What book are you starting the year out with?

Picture Book Review: Wild Zoo Train by Carmela LaVigna Coyle

I received a free ecopy of this picture book from Netgalley and Muddy Boots in exchange for an honest review. 

Title: Wild Zoo Train
Author: Carmela LaVigna Coyle
Illustrator: Steve Gray
Publisher: MuddyBoots
Publication Date: November 1, 2017


Synopsis:
The next classic for your adventurous child's library! A zoo train full of children takes a mysterious turn into the wilds. As each train trip becomes more and more wild, curious children observe the whimsical world around them! Written by Carmela LaVigna Coyle, the bestselling author of the Do Princesses... series, and illustrated by Steve Gray, of There Was a Coyote Who Swallowed a Flea fame, Wild Zoo Train takes readers on a wild, animal-filled adventure through canyons, jungles, the arctic poles, and more! 

My Thoughts: 
This train will take you on the journey of your lives. It is no ordinary zoo train! This train will take you all over the world and to the moon and back! Wild Zoo Train is a fun and adventurous romp through several different biomes all across the world, from the jungle to the Antarctic and highlighting animals from each. 

This is perfect for beginner readers with it's repetitive phrases, rhymes, and onomatopoeia. The full color spreads and fun illustrations will keep your little ones entranced and entertained!

My little one adored all the animals and the wonderful train sounds!

Picture Book Review: I Love a Book by Joe Rhatigan

I received a free temporary ecopy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. 

Title: I Love A Book
Author: Joe Rhatigan
Illustrators: Olga & Aleksey Ivanov
Publisher: Quarto Publishing Group - MoonDance
Publication Date: November 1, 2017
Length: 28 pages

Goodreads | Amazon | B&N

Synopsis:
This is a celebration of books, reading, and our imaginations. I Love A Book opens with a list of types of books and where to find them. The simple, lyrical prose then becomes more frantic as a young reader encounters pirates sailing the sea, a classroom of monsters "learning math with their paws", and even an animal doctor making house calls in a helicopter. 

With lavish illustrations nearly spilling off the page, the young reader finally reaches the end of an exhausting day, ready for bed... and more books. This book is for anyone who loves books and wants to instill this passion in the next generation. 

My Thoughts:
This is a cute little story about a boy who loves books. He loves to discover all the secrets they hold and would rather read than fall asleep at night. A narrator lets us know where he finds books to read any why he likes to read them. 

I love that this is really about enjoying books in general. It highlights some of the wondrous things that you can learn and discover from books as well as the tales you might find yourself thrust into while reading. From pirates to monsters to animal rescues, there's really no end to what you may come across, and that's the true wonder of books! 

The illustrations in this book are gorgeous and fun and I love that there seems to be a mixture of styles. These illustrations are simply magical and really captures the magic of stories and imagination. 

This is the perfect picture book for book lovers to read to their little ones or pass on to others to help instill a love of literature in all.
