#52 // Fan Casting our favorite books

[@staceegoldstein]

Every single book I read it’s me as the FMC and Theo James as the MMC, I can’t help it

[@PossessedbyKaitlyn]

No but why is this literally me

[@tobeentertained]

😂😂That's understandable. However for me, I look on Pinterest what the characters look like.

[@salenabrooke07]

i love seeing all of the effort and creativity that sara and des puts into everything they do!! such a talent! happy thursday🩵

[@ems5454]

9:54 when Sara said “never saw this man in my life” for Adam Brody I literally GASPED out loud because wdym you never saw the o.c?!?! shocked to my core

[@lyohanam]

The fact that I immediately knew that was the "2000 tv show that everybody loved" when Destiny said it 😭

[@nikitabyrne3677]

Sara your powerless Elsie silver fan cast was literally perfect

[@kianalikesbooks]

yes!

[@SN-bk5xj]

I don’t really see Gregg Sulkin as Jasper 🤔

[@ems5454]

30:20 MY DREAM CAST OMFG Logan and Elizabeth???? absolutely!!!! they would eat it up the script, both insanely talented

[@lilianescobar812]

Destiny saying I see it is so funny to me because she has to bring the screen so close to her face 😂 love you guys thank you for another video❤

[@Kennabis333]

I love fan casting! It’s so fun imagining who’s who while reading

[@andrea_dree]

my fan cast for certain books: ⋆ beach read - simone ashley (bridgerton) as january & dev patel (lion) as gus ⋆ people we meet on vacation - ayo edebiri (the bear) as poppy & paul mescal (normal people) as alex ⋆ book lovers - suki waterhouse (djats) as nora & jonah hauer-king (the little mermaid) as charlie ⋆ happy place - margaret qualley (maid) as harriet & glen powell (anyone but you) ⋆ funny story - phoebe dynevor (bridgerton) as daphne & grant gustin (glee) as miles ⋆ icebreaker - madelyn cline (outer banks) as stassie & jacob elordi (euphoria) as nate ⋆ better than the movies - saylor curda (hsmtmts) or lola tung (tsitp) as liz & jack champion (avatar) as wes ⋆ malibu rising - john stamos (full house) as mick riva, phoebe tonkin (h2o) as nina riva & jenna ortega (wednesday) as kit riva ⋆ if we were villains - emily lind (gossip girl) as wren

[@ThisIsIk]

Hailee steinfeld was nominated for an oscar for true grit. she was in pitch perfect 2 and three and she played emily dickinson in the apple tv series. i would say she is more succesful in her acting career then her music career

[@jenn9049]

her emily dickison role made me fall in love more with the actual poet now i excessively read her poetry after i watched the show

[@SN-bk5xj]

Victoria Pedretti as Daphne Vincent is perfect! 👏🏻 I think Ayo Edebiri would be a perfect Poppy from people we meet on vacation!

[@chrislynmitchell6124]

You guys are literally my comfort podcast

[@destinysmith919]

this is one of my fav episodes yet! 🩷 more fan casts please 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@lizzie.kirk02]

yall are making me want to make pinterest boards for my favorite books!

[@samigeis]

I love you guys!!! This podcast always feels like I’m hanging out with my besties

[@sarah_632]

this was such a fun idea!! wish there were more poc fancasts tho lol

[@kookie2118]

Sara's better than the movies casting was perfect✨️

[@karihybben6907]

Yes Des love your casting for Happy Place!!

[@chanellerutgrink3735]

Sara's choices are soo good!

[@natashastbr]

omg i love fancasting!! i just started the episode and am so excited!!🫶🏻

[@mccardibri]

yay so excited for this new episode !!!! love you guys ♡

[@chloedaugherty222]

I LOVE Thursdays!! Yall need to do another a few of our favorite things again a year later!! Please please please :))

[@AmalWatchesStuff]

Callum turner as gus. I’m dying on this hill.

[@annaschok6225]

OMG I’ve always pictured Freya Allan as Celaena, so glad you casted her😁

[@alenatm9513]

so fun! it’s kinda wild though to see how most popular books have only white main characters 💀

[@threetottalytweens]

And that’s what needs to changed immediately when they get adapted

[@tay1868]

a lot of people get mad when white authors write colored characters ie Liz Tomforde

[@bellarena_10]

then hype up poc authors… there are many poc authors who are just as good as popular ones but nobody gives them the same attention yall give emily henry or colleen hoover

[@roslynmaame]

@@bellarena_10 sorry first of all, are you poc?

[@kaitlyncordeiro6369]

i loveee the better than the movies fan casts because there are so many good ones! i would lola tung when she has her red hair and joshua bassett

[@scarlethunter9361]

I don’t really picture anybody when I read books like I don’t only focus on what any of them look like❤

[@SN-bk5xj]

Same, i don’t really picture anything.

[@elliedevries]

It feels illegal to be this early, I love this podcast so much!!!

[@jisoolove7499]

this was so fun, love love loved it

[@thefallybear]

The ice breaker casting was spot on hahaha

[@olliereadss]

YESSS!! my crewneck comes in tomorrow and i am so excited!!

[@Laaibah_A]

I think u should do an episode were u talk abt different concerts and artists and what makes them and their live performances unique ps love u guys so much ❤

[@rodsitamara]

my magnolia parks fancast hehe: magnolia - tyla or taylor russell bj - lorenzo zurzulo taura - cindy kimberly julian - theo james or young henry cavill daisy - aubri ibrag bridget - malia baker tom - callum turner henry - benjamin wadsworth or nate archibald from gossip girl maybeee this ones hard christian - danny griffin

[@SN-bk5xj]

It’s so funny that you wrote Nate from Gossip girl and not Chace Crawford 😂

[@aestheticcontentforyou]

You guys should paint edges of one of your favorite books as an end of the episode fun thing 😁

[@rodsitamara]

omg yes

[@rodsitamara]

u guys haveeee to watch the oc which is what adam brody is in! gilmore girls is amazing too

[@laylasotelo6786]

These fan casts are all so GOOD we need to bring them to life!

[@JosiahBondy]

CANT WAIT 4 THISSS

[@rodsitamara]

THIS IS SUCH A FUN IDEA AHHHHH

[@trinitysmet7852]

THURSDAY!! Thank you for all your hard work🩷

[@fridamelendez226]

Sam Reid from Interview with the Vampire gave me serious Tamlin vibes!!!!

[@ashleybonner64]

When I think of Daisy Haites in the Magnolia Parks universe I can’t help but see Sabrina Carpenter from her Please, Please, Please music video!

[@gabbybertucci5380]

Sara ur top is so cute where did u get it???

[@amyvega8852]

Taylor Swift definitely is the one commenting on her instagram. She literally used to talk about how much she loved interacting with her fans on social media in her tumblr days. And even chats and reacts she wrote them letters saying she watches their videos. Just my personal opinion!

[@readsbyak]

for icebreaker my pick would be Chris Briney for Nate and Madelyn Cline for Stassi!

[@scarlethunter9361]

10:53 Adam Brody was so good in the oc

[@katiewitruk]

me when there’s a new bookmark’d episode: 🥰🤭🤠

[@totalxroyal]

I love how sara didn't touch magnolia parks series in this cause it's hard 🤭

[@rodsitamara]

idk why but i picture jenna ortega and louis partirdge for everythingggg like i pictured jenna for avery from inheritance games, jude from cruel prince and i pictured louis as jameson, michael from the naturals, thomas from stalking jack the ripper and cardan

[@RachelWalmet]

can’t wait to hear the Dori selections 🫶🏼

[@RachelWalmet]

this did not age well hahah

[@leen34568]

@@RachelWalmet💀💀💀

[@withlovexash]

on the money with Divine Rivals Sarah, why was that exactly who I pictured as well!!!

[@thefallybear]

Charlie is literally the cutest dog in the world

[@rodsitamara]

so relateable sara ive been waiting for baby honey, complicated freak & medicine and anna obvs

[@ryanrowe1975]

I'm so excited

[@brandikamper4748]

I always picture Julia Hatch as Willa from Heartless by Elsie Silver!!

[@SN-bk5xj]

Me too!

[@Rays_plays-rblx]

the way you guys forgot the iconic annabeth is crazy lol

[@clarissa7338]

DES'S DIVINE RIVALS FANCASTING >>>>>>>>>

[@celestearcher2193]

Jenson was in a show called "big sky" on HULU. He played a sheriff

[@KatieKuo-i8n]

Charlie is so cute 🥰

[@hannarozejewicz9174]

When I was reading “Practice makes perfect” I imagined Lili James for Annie and Theo James for Will it would be great if they made a movie adaptation

[@samanthaworkman1]

Margaret Qualley would be such a good Emma in Just for the Summer!

[@ems5454]

23:38 that’s Tom welling from smallville 😭😭😭😭 crazy for me that Sara haven’t watched, the show is so famous worldwide! No judgment, I’m just honestly so surprised

[@natalee_jane]

i 100% see louis partridge as roman kitt! especially in his enola holmes era

[@giuliagiordano3995]

i'm literally willing to pay Logan Lerman's paycheck just to have him play Gus in Beach Read, I need it to happen so bad!!

[@remillie.]

I love freya allan for a young version of Aelin!! I also think anya taylor-jou would be an amazing casting too

[@ileanaisabeliturrado]

Dave Rygalski is the best TV boyfriend to ever exist. I love Adam Brody from gilmore girls too hehe His Dave is really making me wanna watch the OC, just to see him in it 😆😆

[@johannac]

sara's fan casts ate

[@celestearcher2193]

Charlie from cheaper by a dozen is Tom Welling

[@kcriems4813]

welp, not knowing Adam Brody means I am the old lady around here.... tear.

[@ren.sparks]

destiny picking her laptop cause she couldn’t see😂

[@Booksandmoe]

The way you refer to the O.C. As “some show” hurt my millennial heart 😂😂😂😂 Adam Brody was (and is) one of my biggest crushes of all time lol I also cast Henry Cavill in my head for every MMC - I don’t care if their blonde , it’s still Henry Cavill lol

[@madelynmahurin8357]

Trying to read Hunger Games without picturing JLaw and JHutch is a STRUGGLE omg

[@eden0765]

Idk why but I feel like, if Sara would’ve picked an ice hockey player for the Icebreaker fan cast it could’ve been Vince Dunn from the Seattle Kraken

[@hannahlikestoread]

I was picturing Jacob Elordi for Wes in Better than the Movies or Nicholas Galitzine

[@rodsitamara]

TOM WELLING IN CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN IS EVERYTHING. and partnered with hailee steinfeld that would eat so hard

[@leahtison7082]

oh I 100% agree w u miss des on Harriet and wyn

[@scarlethunter9361]

Watching this after watching Sara Vlog and seeing the pitbull tickets that Chris got her and I need to know what Destiny’s reaction to that was Sara reaction was so freaking funny😂😂

[@blessing-tq4jr]

I think that jihyo suits amren from Acotar. During the "between 1 and 2" era. With silver lenses.

[@natalycalle]

Adam Brody in the oc is top tier

[@drewskiloll]

loved this! my Icebreaker is Jacob Elordi & Dove Cameron!

[@MadisonNicosia]

Sara’s fancast for Divine Rivals.. Emma Watson & Timothee Chalamet.. that is would be sooo good

[@beautifulmama862]

Im just stuck on jensen ackles lol such a huge fan ❤❤❤❤❤

[@blessing-tq4jr]

Tzuyu from twice looks like what I imagined Jude from the cruel prince. During "dive" era.

[@chocolateoreo6489]

I’m sending you all love❤

[@anaism3994]

omg jensen ackles is so perfect for flawless 👀

[@monkeygirl992]

[@blessing-tq4jr]

[@ashleyburrell4989]

Jacob Elordi as Nate from ice breaker

[@SallyCantSurrf]

PETITION FOR RUDY PANKOW TO PLAY YOUNG HAYMITCH

[@Mere_dithM]

What happened to the timestamps? Those were so helpful :(

[@monkeygirl992]

Katherine Heigl for Norah in book lovers.

[@MadisonNicosia]

Wasn’t there someone who got the 22 hat that Taylor said to them “I watch your content”

[@peytonsellers2250]

flawless i swear bella hadid as summer she has horses and everything or i would totally cast steph bohrer

[@macyk2643]

Wait does no one else just picture random made up people when they’re reading??…

[@cindicleee]

❤

[@cazzuto2468]

OMG! Sadie Sink and young Dylan O’Brien would be PREFECT for better than the movies!
