30 Day Book Challenge: Day Twelve

So Many Books, So Little Time is hosting the 30 Day Book Challenge. Each day for 30 days I'll be answering one question about books.

Day Twelve: A book you think should be made into a film

A few weeks ago, this was the topic for the Top Ten Tuesday list on The Broke and the Bookish. Here's the list that I came up with.

I think if I had to choose one out of the ten, however, I'd pick Silent in the Grave by Deanna Raybourn. While I think the others would make superb films (especially Skulduggery Pleasant), I've been following Raybourn's career since the beginning and, I don't know, I guess I just wish that more people were reading her books, male or female. Here's her website and here's her blog. In addition to being a superb writer, she's a really down-to-earth person who actually converses with her fans, whether it's on Twitter, her blog, or Facebook. I like to see nice people succeed and I think she's definitely deserving of more attention.
