Read a Book, See the Movie Challenge

The Read the Book, See the Movie Challenge is based on a simple idea--read a book, see a movie based on the book, include both in your review. Whether yours is a book blog or a movie blog, this could be a way to add some spice to your posts, expand your outlook, and have some fun. Mostly, have some fun. You don't have to write full reviews both the movie and the book. You can write a review of one then add a brief paragraph or just a sentence or two about the other at the end. Visit Ready When You Are to enter the contest.

I’ve decided that since this was a yearlong contest I would go all out and do the “Festival Jury Member: ten books/movie.” Although the contest officially started January 2010, I’m going to count my reading and watching of North & South from December, since it was such an awesome movie. I’ve added links below. I'll add other books/movies as they come up.
