13:07 I just realized this question might have been regarding my book vs movie videos, because there have been times I will read a book twice to make sure I understand it. So if the question is whether I do that with movies I am covering, then the answer would be no. I don’t think I have ever watched a movie twice specifically in order to prepare for a video the way I have with some books.

For all the work you have been putting out these past few months, you deserve all the success that comes your way! Congrats on reaching 10k, Laura 🎉🥳 So proud of you and can't wait to see this channel grow even further!! My hands have been tied the past month, but I'm still looking for our next collab 😅

[@WhytheBookWins]

Thank you! 😁

Former collegiate runner here. Fun fact, distance runners generally have the best grades of all student-athletes. It is not uncommon for them to be avid readers because the mental focus required for distance running has a similar brain function to tasks like reading for long periods

[@WhytheBookWins]

Oh interesting! That makes so much sense though.

[@ImpressionBlend]

Congrats on 10k!!! Really enjoyed this Q&A, but I always enjoy your videos so that's not surprising )) And thank you so much for the shoutout and for your kind words about my channel!

[@WhytheBookWins]

Thank you!!

Love seeing each of your vids, even when I haven’t read the book, your passion for the material always keeps the video entertaining. Keep it up!

[@WhytheBookWins]

Thank you so much! 🤗

[@PensiveWhiskers]

Thanks for making this video and answering all the questions! Congratulations again on the 10K! 🎉The fact that you've done so many marathons is insanely impressive. I've managed a 10K at most and I was seriously struggling. You seem like a very motivated person and I'm constantly so impressed by how you maintain a posting schedule while not sacrificing quality. I have a few books that I would like to see adopted into film, but I don't think it would happen. One of them is silly, it's a YA book series called the Forbidden Gam by L.J. Smith. It's not an outstanding series or anything but it feels like it would be a fun action series if it was ever put on screen. I would also love to see Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk as a film. That one would probably be really difficult to adapt.

[@WhytheBookWins]

Thank you 😁🤗 And thanks for submitting a question! I've never heard of Invisible Monsters but what I have read by him is always strange in one way or another lol.

[@persephonestudy]

I found your channel just by accident and is one of the best discoveries of 2024 so far! Love your content ❤️

[@WhytheBookWins]

Thank you!! 🤗

[@teemick7594]

I just discovered your channel last month. I really enjoy hearing your opinions and watched so many of your past videos. Keep up the great work!

[@WhytheBookWins]

Thanks for the support!

[@SunShine-qk4rb]

Congratulations 🎉

[@WhytheBookWins]

thanks!

[@angelaholmes8888]

Totally agree with you about east of eden would love a new adaptation You really should give jane Austen books a try i really enjoyed pride and prejudice and sense and sensibility and persuasion

[@WhytheBookWins]

I really need to read her books!

[@rowenatulley852]

Gratz on 10K! Two books I'd like to see made into movies are The Seventh Secret by Irving Wallace, and Saucer by Stephen Coonts.

[@WhytheBookWins]

thanks!

[@davidfitzpatrick6535]

First off congrats on 10000 subs. Secondly here are my answers. 1 The Book I wish would be adapted is Willow and twig By Jean Little which is about two children (one who is deaf) finding a home with their unknown grandmother after their caregiver dies. 2 SO imo my favourite memoir is The Horse boy by Rupert Issacson which is about a father and his autistic son going to Mongolia to find a shaman to help his autism. 3 I've always wanted to speak French. 4 I would love to live IN THE UK. I would love to go to visit Africa. 5 If I could direct a movie I think it would be a fantasy horror with a disabled protagonist who doesnt use magic to heal his disabilities. 6 I actually have a bin of 1990 baseball cards. 7 I am Legend just because it was too inaccurate 8 I dont drink alcohol due to medical. 9 nope. 10 The Haunted Hotel by Ron Roy 11 Unfortunately I dont have any pets. Also The reason ur cat might like licking u is because she wants to "clean u" as she sees u as hers so she licks u to try to clean ur hand. 12 Find a interesting story u wouldnt normally read. 13 Yes because I usually enjoy the movie. 14 NO as I didnt like Pride and Prejudice.

[@WhytheBookWins]

Thanks for sharing your answers!

[@agostinodublino1387]

OMG the last summer I bought Southern Gothic (but I'm not finished it yet, I bought it IN GERMAN 💀 so it's difficult to me..) and right now I'm reading The Last house on needless street!! The "cat chapters" are always stunning

[@WhytheBookWins]

Needless Street is so good!

[@CBSmith-js9yl]

Congrats! Discovered you through your Dracula videos. Stayed on ever since.

[@WhytheBookWins]

Awesome! Dracula was a fun one to cover with all of those adaptations. Glad you like my content 😁

[@DocHayes420]

🎉 Congratulations!!

[@WhytheBookWins]

thanks!

[@InktoFilm]

Congrats again on 10k!! Much deserved :)

[@WhytheBookWins]

Thank you!!

[@tnan123]

Congrats on 10k. I didn't realize you're a distance runner! That's a lot of marathons! I'm working on getting into more running as well! Any races you're currently training for? Also cute pets!

[@WhytheBookWins]

Thanks! And there is a race series called Revel that has fast downhill courses, and I would like to do one of theirs next!

[@femmeweird]

Congrats on 10k! 🎉🎉🎉

[@WhytheBookWins]

Thank you!!

[@paulallenk4830]

Congratulations on your channel's success. OMG....you showed a picture of yourself near the Belfry of Bruges. "In Bruges is such a perfect film (so is The Banshees of Inisherin). Haven't forgotten my promise to give you one million dollars if I win one billion in the lottery. Guess what....let's up that to 10 million so you can live in Santa Monica !!!

[@WhytheBookWins]

The movie is what made me want to visit Bruges! And awesome, I'll be anxiously awaiting my millions 😆

[@Dparish24]

Congratulations. I would love to see Rose Madder by Stephen King adapted. Also all of Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles, not just Interview With The Vampire.

[@WhytheBookWins]

I've heard good things about Rose Madder! My King tbr is so long lol but that one is on there
