I am hosting the Bookworms Carnival in February 2009, with submissions due February 13th. The theme is “Literature and Film.” This broad subject is intended to encompass all things literary that relate to film: books adapted into movies, movies adapted into books, books about movies, etc. My brother writes a movie review blog, and we have book/movie-related posts, activities, and giveaways planned for all of Oscar month (February)! Stay tuned!
Though still six months away, I wanted to announce the theme and give everyone ample time to read movie-related books! The following is just a sampling of books with movies coming out before February:
Blindness, by Jose Saramago
Choke, by Chuck Palahniuk
The Secret Life of Bees, by Sue Monk Kidd
The Road, by Cormac McCarthy
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, by J.K. Rowling
Coraline, by Neil Gaiman
Twilight, by Stephenie Meyer
The Tale of Despereaux, by Kate DiCamillo
Marley & Me, by John Grogan
The Time Traveler’s Wife, by Audrey Niffenegger
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, F. Scott Fitzgerald (short story)
If you have any questions about the Carnival, feel free to email me or leave a comment on this post. I look forward to your entries.

Fun topic!! Thank you for the time frame, too… I look forward to participating!
Oh, wow! I didn’t know about The Time Traveler’s Wife! I’m looking forward to that one!
I’ll be contributing!
I’m really excited! It’s like waiting for Sundance!
Hmm…maybe this will motivate me to read Oil! by Upton Sinclair…
OMG…Blindness will open here in San Francisco in the second week of September. I’m so looking forward to seeing it. I finished Marley and Me a while ago. Saw the trailer with the cute puppy running on the beach. That reminds of my lab. :)
I’m excited, too! Thanks for the enthusiasm. I can’t wait to see what everyone submits.
