Movies you didn’t know were books first

There have been countless movies made based on books, for example Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings and The Hunger Games. What you wouldn't believe is that there are some major movies based on books that you had no idea about. We read this really cool article that sums up 20 famous movies based on books. Since there are so many we thought we'd sum up the most shocking ones, so lets get right into it!

  1. Clueless is a classic chick-flick, its an entertaining way to spend an hour. We always thought this was a fun loving movie not to be taken too seriously or that had much foundation. But did you know that its actually based on a book called Emma by Jane Austen, whose book we recently reviewed. 
  2. Pitch Perfect is a great example for a famous movie that not many people know was based on a book called Pitch Perfect: The Quest for Collegiate A Cappella Glory. This one is a bit of a quirky case though, because its all about music and singing, you would think its simply a movie. None the less the book is a great read. 
  3. Queen Bees and Wannabes: Helping Your Daughter Survive Cliques, Gossip, Boyfriends & Other Realities of Adolescence, I doubt you would be able to guess what movie was based off this book. MEAN GIRLS the next best chick-flick out. Of course the genius mind of an author would have conjured this up.

To end this mind blowing post we would like remind you all that we are having another workshop tomorrow so come along to have a good time and celebrate the joys of reading. Until next week Zinnia and Gwendoline :)
