Thursday Movie Picks, the weekly series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves, is back to normal. Kinda. Today we have to pick books/comics/games we'd love to see made into movies and we can't pick those that already have an adaptation (which means I can't pick Stephen King's Mr. Mercedes).
Between Shades of Gray - Ruta Sepetys
It follows the Stalinist repression and follows Lina, a 15-year-old Lithuanian girl who is deported with her mother and brother to Siberian labour-camp. It's one of the best books I've ever read. A very powerful and poignant story that shows a part of history many don't know.
The Soul Breaker (Der Seelenbrecher) - Sebastian Fitzek
On Christmas Eve, in a mental hospital, the medical team and the patients realize that a serial killer who kind of steal people's souls is in the building and they work together to stop him. It's a great psychological thriller filled with tension.
The Shadow of the Wind (La sombra del viento) - Carlos Ruiz Zafon
On his 11th birthday, Daniel's father brings him to the Cemetery of Forgotten Books, a library in Barcelona where the forgotten books are. He picks a novel, The Shadow of the Wind by one Julian Carax, and before he knows it, he finds himself in an adventure. This is another of the best books I've read. It has action, adventure, romance, twists, humour and much more.
