#BookSky, I have a question!

Name a book where you enjoyed the movie/TV series more.

I'll go first... #ADiscoveryOfWitches. Boom, there, I said it. I spent most of book 1 waiting for Diana to be awesome only to be woefully disappointed. Somehow, the TV series managed to avoid that.

Oooo, that sounds like a challenge... one to which the Plot Bunnies are more than to rise.

For #FirstDraftFall I'm gonna (attempt) to finish the first draft of Demons & Battleskirts 2 but that means I have to get my current WIP off to my editor, so I'm working on that.

I quite enjoyed King's Avatar (the live action version) but I haven’t seen the anime. Is it better?

Was Legend good? I really like the main actress.

My Boss, is that the long form version? (There's a short-short drama with the same name)

What else has the 2ML been in? (I really like Qian Heng, the ML, but I haven't watched this one.)

Q4: What adaptation would you recommend to someone new to C/K/J-dramas?

Hard one but... probably Eternal Love. The original novel (To the Sky Kingdom) has an English translation and is just 1 book.

Q3: What novel to drama adaptation are you desperately hanging out for?

For me... Immortality, which we may never get because China isn't a fan of BL. I started reading the books and... it's DARK dark

I'm watching Melody of Golden Age again. Historical detective dramas with female detectives are my catnip, but I'm also rediscovering how awesome the other female power players are, the Dowager Empress in particular.

What are you watching?
