Have you ever actually liked a movie/ show more than the book? Only two stick out for me, Jaws and the Sookie Stackhouse books.

@Jeannie agreed! I tried so hard to like them too

@Mariah me too!
But books aside, I actually really liked the vampire diaries as a tv show. It’s well made and well casted. (At least the first seasons – never finished it lol)
