As a bookworm it's hard not to imagine my favorite books coming to life on the big screen. While it is nerve wracking because I want everything to be perfect and just how I imagined it in my head, I can't help but jump for joy when I hear a book I've read is being made into a movie. I've made a list of 10 books (some being a series) that I think deserve to shine in the spotlight.

1.) Hush, Hush (series) by Becca Fitzpatrick

This quartet is following the life of Nora Grey as she starts to discover herself, she runs into Patch,who happens to be a fallen angel, who will introduce her to a life not fathomable to those stuck in reality. The series goes on to chronicle Nora's next few years of high school and the reader is subject to the trials and obstacles both Nora and Patch face as their lives become more and more intertwined, revealing more and more about themselves.

2.) Blue Bloods (series) by Melissa de la Cruz

Melissa de la Cruz sets the reader in Manhattan, New York, and yes paranormal creatures are a part of this complicated love story. Vampires to be exact. Schuyler Chase is soon wrapped up in the glitz and glam of the inner circle of night life and finds herself captured under the eyes of Jack Force. What Schuyler doesn't know is the amount of fire headed her way for getting involved with Jack nor did she have any idea that her world she knew would come to be turned upside-down.

3.) Shiver: The Wolves of Mercy Falls by Maggie Stiefvater

Well after fallen angels, and vampires it is only natural that a series about werewolves would be next. "The Wolves of Mercy Falls" series by Maggie Stefvater tells the story of Grace Brisbane and Sam Roth. It starts in a memory Grace has when she was eleven, she was attacked by wolves but one saved her and ever since then she looks out for "her wolf" and he for her. What Grace doesn't know is her wolf will turn out to be Sam who shows up on her doorstep with a gunshot wound. She nurses him back to health and one thing lead to another and they became a couple, but with opposition all around them they have to fight to be together.

4.) Wicked Lovely (series) by Melissa Marr

Now Faeries aren't usually in many YA books anymore but Melissa Marr brings something new to the table with her series Wicked Lovely. This series follows numerous characters, all connected by one similarity, the involvement with the faerie realm. From romance to heartbreak to betrayal to suspense this series has it all. It all starts with the Faerie Summer King (Keenan) searching for his bride whom he has determined is Aislinn, who can see faeries. Aislinn wants nothing to do with the faerie realm but Keenan has other plans, one character after another is pulled into the mess and soon it becomes difficult to distinguish what is real and what is faerie.

5.) Kissed by an Angel (series) by Elizabeth Chandler

Back at it again with angels but this time, fallen angels aren't involved. Chandler gives us a unique perspective on the concepts of Guardian Angels when the reader is introduced to Ivy and Tristan, the perfect couple. That is until they get into a wreck and Tristan is sadly killed. Yet he returns and comes to find out the accident was anything but an accident, someone had sabotaged the car. Tristan's mission is to protect Ivy and find out who sabotaged their car so that it would crash, before the person finishes what they started.

6.) A Great and Terrible Beauty (the Gemma Doyle trilogy) by Libba Bray

This trilogy puts a twist on what one might bring to mind when one thinks of the word "witch." Gemma Doyle (the main character) has been sent of to a boarding school after her mother was murdered. She meets Ann Bradshaw, Pippa Cross, and Felicity Worthington. They begin to make friends and it is then Gemma discovers she has "powers" to transfer to another realm. Yet as she unlocks her powers there are those out there who have been looking for her and will stop at nothing until they have control of her. Gemma is faced with hiding her powers for her safety or to fight for her powers and the realm she often visits.

7.) Etiquette & Espionage (series) by Gail Carringer

Steampunk and Victorian-era London is a perfect setting for Mademoiselle Geraldine's finishing school where girls learn how to be a proper lady, and come to learn to deal out death, diversion, and espionage, in the most ladylike fashion of course. Sophronia (main character) at first refuses to go but gives in to her mother's wishes, she soon learns just what the finishing school is really about and finds joy in knowing if her mother really had an idea what she was learning she would fall over dead. Yet the school only becomes more curious as some teachers are revealed to be of supernatural origin, a vampire and a werewolf, no doubt. Sophronia and her friends soon find out just how tangled up life can get when they accidentally become involved in solving the suspicious activity that begins at the school. The adventure that ensues is not always the most fashionable for a lady but does keep the reader on the edge of their seats.

8.) Life As We Knew It (series) by Susan Pfeffer

This science fiction series is one that is just made to be a film. The scarier factor is the situation, in which the moon is pulled closer to the Earth throwing everything off balance, is completely plausible. The series follows the perspectives of different families across the U.S. and how they cope with the chaos that the moon inflicts on the world. It is like an apocalyptic nightmare, minus the zombies, but the scare factor is in no way lessened. This book also shows just how desperate people can be in times of need, and their willingness to do just about anything to get what they want despite if it's moral or not.

9.) More Than This by Patrick Ness

Speaking of sci-fi realities,this book could easily be mistaken for horror as it deals with the one thing people fear most, death. To be more specific, it deals with the thought of life after death. It follows the story of Seth Wearing (main character) who drowns and when he thinks it is all over...but then he wakes up. He is placed in a town that bears much resemblance to the one he grew up in before moving to America. Seth is confronted by two other teens Regine and Tomasz who tell him he has to be wary of the Driver. For what Seth soon finds out is the life he knew was all stimulated, like he had been in an online virtual world, plugged up to tubes and machines. Now can he get backed and plugged in, before he drowned, and make things better?

10.) The Flappers (series) by Jillian Larkin

Gloria Carmody (one of the main characters) is 17 and engaged to one of the most handsome men in town, Bastian. Yet she feels restless as if she is tying herself down too soon, That is how Gloria finds herself in Green Mill, one of Chicago's most notorious speakeasies, and finds herself enthralled with her surroundings, and so her deception and discover of herself truly begins.

These are only a few on my need-to-be-made-into-a-movie list, but they are the ones I feel deserve it the most. The authors poured their hearts and souls into the books so I feel the movies would only improve them and bring them to life.
