The TruffleShuffle 'Book'et List
We recently ran a literature themed Friday Competition on our Facebookpage to celebrate the arrival of our new Out Of Print T-Shirtsand the response we got was amazing. The question was....
âIf you could create a film from any book that hasn't already had one made, what would it be and WHY?'
We had hundreds of suggestions: some old, some new and some a little strange â The Dictionary and The Phone Book?!! Us bookworms couldn't let this fantastic opportunity go to waste and so we decided to create our very own TruffleShuffle Reading List and thought we would share it with you.
We have something for everyone â funny, sad, horror, thriller, fairy-tale; sadly, we couldn't list them all but there were some firm favourites suggested numerous times and some great write ups, see if any take your fancy!
See if yours made the must read list and see what others have to suggest, our Kindles are now fully loaded with literary delights! :-)
With 9 mentions the book that came out top (and we can't believe we haven't read!) is:
The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 53!
Zippidy Doo Da! It has to be a bank holiday bonanza!
As waves rhythmically crash against rocks on a beach, let us be your tiny but eager archaeologist, equipped with a bright red bucket and spade as we excitedly build for you a castle of mega cinematic greatness surrounded by a mote of celluloid wonder so we can proudly raise our flag of retro movie awesomeness.
Have a happy retro weekend :-)
