Description:

Third in this series of swaps that require you to indicate which books you've read on a list, read one of the books you haven't already read, and write a review of it for your partners.

The List:

Summer blockbuster season has started here, so why not a list of YA books that have been made into movies? Grownups: Don't be ashamed of your YA habit Indicate in the list which ones you've read and ALSO which ones for which you've seen the movies.

The Book Review:

Choose a book from the list that you have NOT yet read. Give it a try. You don't have to finish it if you end up not liking it, but you should read enough to be able to write a short review (minimum of two paragraphs) of it. Please do not include any major spoilers unless you are sure your partners have read the same book (check your partners' profiles). How would you summarize it? Did you like the book? Would you recommend it? Did it deserve to be on this list? What were your favorite aspects/characters/moments? Least favorite? Note: many of these books are series; reading a single book in the series is sufficient for this swap. You don't have to read the entire series.

Bonus Movie Review:

As a bonus, you can watch the movie based on the book you chose and write a short review of it as well! Did you like it more? Less? Was it faithful or did it leave a lot out?

The Swap:

Send your list and review to your 2 partners. Either send an email and put their email addresses in the BCC fields OR post it somewhere like on a blog or tumblr and use the messaging system on swap-bot to give the link to your partner.

Got it? Okay! Post or message me if you have any questions!
