9 Must-Watch TV Shows and Movies That Were Based On Books

By Quills and Pages
Books have always been a treasure trove of inspiration for filmmakers, providing rich narratives and captivating characters that can be brought to life on the silver screen. In this blog post, I will list 10 books that not only captivated readers but also made a successful transition into the world of TV Screen. From tales of adventure to gripping mysteries and heartfelt dramas, these stories have enthralled audiences in both written and visual forms. 1. "The Lord of the Rings" by J.R.R. Tolkien: J.R.R. Tolkien's epic fantasy trilogy, "The Lord of the Rings," has captured the imagination of readers for decades. This sprawling tale of hobbits, wizards, and a quest to save Middle-earth from the forces of darkness proved to be a monumental task for director Peter Jackson. However, his visionary adaptation , released as a trilogy between 2001 and 2003, garnered critical acclaim and massive box office success. With its breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable charac

Thank you for your support! So I was craving to read a mystery, cozy, cottage core type of book and I was trying to search some of these categories to find the perfect book. I posted on  TikTok  so people might give me some suggestions. A booktok friend  suggested reading  House of Salt and Sorrows . She said it is not cottage core but it is mysterious and interesting. I said why not let's do it. I started reading and finished it in 2 days and here is what I think about it.  I started reading it without even reading anything on Goodreads . I usually read reviews when I start a book just so I could indulge my brain to be a little curious. Wh

The Awakening | Zodiac Academy Series written by Caroline Peckham and Suzanne Valenti | A Book Review

By Quills and Pages
Alright, here I am, sharing my thoughts on the first book The Awakening from Zodiac Academy series written by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti . I decided to start reviewing this series as it falls under the 'enemies to lovers ' and 'bullies romance' genres, which are right up my alley. I'm a sucker for this type of book and I am always on the hunt for such books. Someone made a video of this book on TikTok and I was like I had to read it. So, I began reading the book and I fell into a rabbit hole of Magic Academy, hot assholes, and alternative Fae world. It felt like diving into a more mature version of Harry Potter. Needless to say, I absolutely loved this first installment.

My Review of Gold Book 5 of the Plated Prisoner Series written by Raven Kennedy

By Quills and Pages
I am having a mixed feeling right now. I just finished reading this 5th book in the series and I am......well, I don't know what I feel. This book was an emotional rollercoaster. It made me feel things.....things I have long forgotten....things people write books about.....I am rambling again but this is my mental state at this point....this is all due to Raven Kennedy and her books. I found this book series from booktok last year. It was not very popular but someone recommended reading it and when I read the series......omg 🤌🤌. The book is a retelling of King Midas and his golden touch but there is a twist in this book.....King Midas is a fraud in this book and he is keeping a girl prisoner who has the golden touch.   Here is the synopsis;  "Find me in another life. Find me in them all." Every end is also a beginning. I thought I was going to die, and would have if it weren’t for Slade. The only way he could save me was to open a rip between worlds. The only way for me

Where is Molly by H.D Carlton | A Review

By Quills and Pages
  Where is Molly is a stand alone book written by H.D Carlton. It is set in the Universe of Haunting Adeline. The story revolves around Molly...the girl we found in Hunting Adeline. Her diary was founded by Adeline under the floor and us readers always wanted to know if she succeeded in running away from that awful place.  Blurb A spinoff of the Cat & Mouse Duet... “Molly Devereaux has been missing for more than two weeks, and police are still searching for the girl who seemed to vanish out of thin air. The world still wants to know... Where's Molly?” In my dreams, I never escaped the Oregon woods. Life after death isn't easy to accept, especially when I still feel like a ghost. Now, I live deep in the mountains of Montana—the paradigm of beauty. But they are also the home of horrors. Horrors that I only unleash at night. When my pigs are allowed to feast. It is strongly recommended to read Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeline before reading Where's Molly. Important No

Lightlark by Alex Aster | A Book Review

By Quills and Pages
A Fellow booktoker recommended me this book. She talks about it all the time and makes really catchy videos featuring this Duology. I got interested and purchased this book. Lightlark is the first book in the series written by Alex Aster. I got to know some pretty interesting facts about the Author and how this book was published. You should learn it too this is not my story to tell 😅. Anyhow I started reading this book in March and finished it one week. Somehow I got late in writing and reviewed all the books I read in March. So now I am starting again. This is the brief of this book on Goodreads; Welcome to the Centennial. Every 100 years, the island of Lightlark appears to host the Centennial, a deadly game that only the rulers of six realms are invited to play. The invitation is a summons—a call to embrace victory and ruin, baubles and blood. The Centennial offers the six rulers one final chance to break the curses that have plagued their realms for centuries. Each ruler has somet
