;five romances for the big screen

When I realised today’s post was going to go live on Valentine’s Day, of course I decided I was writing about romances. Honestly, I read romances when I am in a bit of a reading slump. They’re almost always light and easy enough for me to enjoy and get back into reading.

So I figured, let’s make a list of these fun romances I’ve read that I would love to see translated onto the big screen!

In no particular order, here are some of the romances I have enjoyed so much that I would not mind seeing them made into movies. Which, coming from someone who is always critical of book to screen adaptations, says A LOT.

• The Zoya Factor by Anuja Chauhan
  I finished this little rom-com of a book in one sitting, loved it so much that I went and created a mock poster for a Bollywood film. Where is my movie, Bollywood? Where is it???
• Ravishing The Heiress by Sherry Thomas
  Hear me out, okay? In a world of numerous Austen adaptations, why can’t we have an arranged marriage trope written by someone else on screen? One that involves something a little more on the sexy end? (It was a good read, don’t judge me!)

• The Ugly Duchess by Eloisa James
  A little bit of a play on a fairytale, but fun enough to translate well onto the big screen, methinks. It’s witty and funny, and there’s a lot of careful wooing. So long as they cast this right, it’d be a good film.
• Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
  Now this isn’t a full-on romance, but the romantic elements of it would make for a good movie. I just really loved the way Cath and Levi fell in love, okay?
• When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon
  Just – *makes grabby hands motion at the world* – Give it to me, okay? I’ll even write the script if I have to.

And there you have it! Romances I would love to see on-screen!

What romances would you love to see translated onto the big screen?

Also, please recommend me some good romance novels – contemporary and period and even fantasy, please and thank you!

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!
