Call me by your name by Andre Aciman
The movie broke my heart. I'm searching the book to read and I know the book won't let me down either. Also I have watched 3 Harry Potter movies before reading the books. The books were the best!

Your Name / Kimi no Na Wa
A few weeks ago, I got the novelization of that animated film.
It's the only movie that made me bawling in frustration.
Most romantic stories are meh to me, so I'll see if the book is as moving as the film.
just call me "jane" :tiphat:

Undoubtedly, The Fault in Our Stars is one of the best romance movies I've ever seen, and one of my favorite movies I've ever seen. I like books, I like movies better. The script, the story, the story, and the script were great. The performances of Hazel and Augustus in the Shailene Woodley and Ansel Ergoto films were outstanding. The Fault in Our Stars is colorful, fun, and sad at the same time, showing true love can be found no matter what. I liked it very much. :tiphat:

A series of Unfortunate Events. I saw the movie when it first came out, and then started watching the netflix series years later. I then figured out from watching the series that the first movie combined the first three books, and made some changes to the plot in order to make things work. After watching the first season of ASOUE, I decided to listen to the books on youtube.

I watched the series twilight and it's incredible but the novel itself is way more intriguing.This is one of the best books ever read ...go ahead and try this. It has quite simple vocabulary easy to understand .every thing seems like a roller coaster ride, so amazing ..the story revolves around a teenage girl, Bella swan who enters a new city a new school ..where she discovers secrets that even the natives didn't know about. one of them is about a vampire who is her classmate ,Edward Cullen, with whom she falls in love with ....this book has adventure, action, romance and is more over addicting thriller.

The Movie Americanah, I had just seen it's trailer and I was very amazed so I just wanted to know more about the whole movie. Since the movie had not yet been released, I just went and looked for a copy of the book Americanah by Chimmamanda Ngozi Adichie.

I saw the Girl with the Pearl Earring first and one day, during my lunch in high school where I used to spend my time at the school library, I picked up the book and started reading it.
