Favorite Books:

The first one that comes to mind is "To Kill a Mockingbird". I like that it is also the best book-to-movie example ever. I loved "The Life of Pi" and just finished "The Paris Wife". The era covered in 'Paris Wife' has always been my favorite. If could go back in time, I would pick Paris in the 1920's and 1930's. It was such a creative time and place. "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is also one of my favorites.

Favorite Book Trailers:

I haven't seen a lot of them. Now that I've found this site, I am going to watch some and see what's going on in the industry.

Favorite TV Shows:

I don't watch a lot of TV. I liked Scrubs and was sorry to see it go. I have to be careful to find time to write, with everything else that needs to be done, so I'm not a big watcher.

What book or books should be made into movies?

The Paris Wife, One Hundred Years of Solitude.

Favorite movies made from books:

To Kill a Mockingbird is the best movie adaptation ever.
