In this episode of Bubbly Bibbly, Carmen and Rachel talk about which books they would want if we were stranded on a desert island. Have you thought about the difference between a desert island and a deserted island? Tell us if you were already familiar with Robinsonade, and whether or not you have read a book that would fall in this genre. And remember, maybe the best book to have if you are stranded on an island is “How to Build a Boat”.

In this episode, Carmen and Rachel are going to be movie producers and casting agents! They talk about which books they have read lately that would make excellent movies and who they would cast in the production. Do you intentionally read the book of a movie that is coming out that is based on it, before you see the movie? Do you have casting ideas for books you’ve read, what you think of our choices, wonderful casting, and terrible casting? Ever wonder what authors think of their books heading to the big screen? John le Carre said, “Having your book turned into a movie is like seeing your oxen turned into bouillon cubes.”
