Mongoliad by Stephenson. It always amazed me that there are no movies about the Mongol empire, although it used to be the second-largest empire in history (except the excellent movie "Mongol").

The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. It is a fantastic WW2 historical fiction read revolving around two sisters. The book leaves you filled with emotions. Wish it could be adapted to the screen.

The Power would be an amazing movie! A depiction of a matriarchal society on the screen would be a fantastic change to what we always see.

Our kind of cruelty by Amanita Hall!

I would give anything to have the same team that directed Gone Girl to have a go at this book.

It tells the story of a psychopath but from their own perspective. It’s riveting to read the thought process that one goes through when they have convinced themselves that what they’re doing is nothing less than logical!

Beyond The Wall for Tanya Landman would have made a great historical Romans thriller movie for me. I enjoyed reading it, visualising the many detailed places the writer took me to. It will even get ten times better with the chance to see it alive, walk through the Roman streets, seeing Cassia running away from her master. If I got the chance I will watch it every weekend without getting bored.

Sometimes, I don't want a book to be a movie so the story won't get ruined. But maybe it would be nice to see Heart-Shaped Box into a movie. Creepy!!!!
