After The Show Ends

-
Earlier today I was sifting through Amazon as I sometimes do when bored. I came across a Buffy Book I hadn't yet read and it made me think about what other series I followed into book form after the credits roll and the show ends. These are just a few of my favorite shows that I also enjoy reading about as well. In no particular order they are:

1. Buffy The Vampire Slayer

The Books are based off the show. They are written by Various Authors and can take place within the show time frame, years before the show or even after. The Books are a great way to stay in touch with the characters I love. As long as they keep pumping them out I will stay reading them.

2. True Blood

The Show is based Off the wildly popular Southern Vampire Mysteries Series by Charlaine Harris. I started reading the books after falling in love with True Blood after its First Season Ended. Only two books remain in the series but I hope the show continues on much longer than that.

3. Bones

The Show is based off of a series of Novels by the Author Kathy Reich featuring Forensic Anthropologist Dr. Temperance Daesee Brennan. I was a fan of the books before the series was even announced and while I love the show as well they just cant compare to the books which rock.

4. CSI: Las Vegas

The Books are based off the show and written by Various Authors. I first came into contact with the books when I found a Hardbound compendium on sale at Barnes and Nobles. As soon as I read it I was hooked. I greatly missed Grissom after his departure and the books were a great way for me to get my fix.

5. The Walking Dead

The Show is based off the comic series of the same name created by Robert Kirkman. I have only recently started reading these but I love them. I am looking for some of the characters of the comics to arrive on the show. Next season is looking very promising with the arrival of The Governor and Michonne two very important Comic book characters.

Do you watch any of these shows? Have you ever read any of the books the shows are either based off or on from? Let me know below in the comments. I love reading your responses.

Welcome to my stop on the Books To Movies Giveaway Hop hosted by Mary from Bookhounds & I Am A Reader, Not A Writer If you didn't know by now I'm a huge fan of Books turned movies. I read as if I'm watching a movie as it is and so whenever I see a book turned into a film I get super excited. While I have many favorites I've decided to limit my choices to my Top 5. Trust me I can talk about Book to Movie adaptations all day if you'll let me :)  From this list you can choose either the book or film as your prize! In no particular order here are my favorite books turned into films! .The Lord Of The Rings is a series that can only be described as epic. I love the books and suggest everyone read the series at least once. When Peter Jackson turned the trilogy into a film and I heard of some of the changes I was skeptical. Fortunately as soon as I saw the first film all doubts were erased from my mind. I just can't get enough and have rewatched t

Welcome to my stop on the Vamps vs. Zombies Blog Hop hosted by April @ My Shelf Confessions . Up for Grabs is a $5 Amazon Giftcard and a Vampire or Zombie book of choice (up to $10).  Since I'm #TeamZombie all the way I figured it'd be fun to list my reasons for why Zombies are clearly superior to Vampires. Zombies Vampires Early Warning System. If you hear a moan you have time to run away before they eat you.                                       Climb through the window while you're sleeping to suck blood. That's just rude! Helpful in decreasing the surplus population. Sure their numbers might increase but it's the thought that counts. Due to "secrecy" Vampires try very hard to not increase numbers. They'd rather suck and move on. More fun to kill!  From traditional weapons to household supplies the possibilities for proper Zombie slayage are endless. Holy water, sunlight or stakes= yawn.   Zombies are equal opportunity hu
