Damsel.

When I heard about the Netflix movie I initially thought it was an adaptation of the book...

At this point, I want a movie adaptation just out of spite to see how much better it would be than the complete trash that netflix thought would make a good original story. I do highly recommend the book, too.

House of blades / travelers gate series by will wight.

Surprisingly cool YA / RPG ish without being gamey and too cringe.

Would be a very cool show if not done on CB

The Traveler by John Twelve Hawks.

He is a little fucking nuts but the book is fun.

Repairman Jack. But reserve the supernatural stuff at the end of the seasons. I just want to watch his "repairs"

I would love to see a sword of truth series, but not done as an action thriller with shallow characters, because that’s just not what it is, damnit.

The entire 2001: A Space Odyssey series should be a TV show.

I have a vision that I think would be really cool for this type of adaptation but the only one I really care about is way too good to just put it up on the internet so that my idea can get stolen without credit.

Mountain Man: 10 Books by Keith C. Blackmore. Basically, the Zombie Apocalypse happens and a Dude tries to survive alone, physically, mentally and emotionally while also trying to go on supply runs, running into Zombies and generally trying to stay alive while coping with everything. I think it would be good to have some other zombie-related Series that isn't The Walking Dead.

Expeditionary Force: 18 Books by Craig Alanson. Earth and Humanity are attacked by Hamster Aliens, another alien Race, Lizards, who attack the hamsters saving Earth in the process and then recruiting Humanity into a war on a galactic scale but the Hamsters aren't the real enemy of Humanity. I'm only at the end of the 5th Audiobook but they are great and I would really wish Skippy is voiced by the Audiobook Narrator R.C. Bray in a TV adaption.

Kyralia series: Been a while since I read it but a fantastic series related to magic By Trudi Canavan, I think there are just not enough good Magic-related Shows.

Tales of the Otori: A 5-Book Series by Lian Hearn is set in a fictional feudal Japan. The Main story follows a Boy, Takeo, through his life to avenge his adoptive father and escape the legacy of his biological father. Probably the only series in which I had to put down the book at one point and just had to process what was happening.
