In order and with commentary for your reading pleasure, I present part 3 of 3 of my GeekyCon 2015 livetweet!
If you were following my livetweet…live, then you might have had a few moments of confusion as some tweets posted out of order, and a couple not at all. Blame the internet. Blame how many tweets per minute I was sending. Blame the Geeky Gods.
And prepare for some pretty awful typos. Continue reading

HIYA!
Okay Readers, I know you’re waiting for some RRP content in a chapter-book format. Guess what, it’s coming! We have two titles that are currently being developed with us and there is more information to come in the near future SPECIFICALLY on the VERY FIRST New Adult book series that will be published through River Ram Press. I’ll give you a hint on the story line – there are fancy, fantasy beings included!
You can join us with a squeal of excitement now!!!
So many exclamation points.
However, until then, I know the perfect little place online for you to stay up-to-date on all the literature you love and it’s transition into film. As you 
can imagine, this will include a lot of those YA / NA titles that you’ve joined fandoms for / on / about… anyway:
The Adaptation Podcast began just as it sounds, a podcast where several individuals from…

I do believe that this is relevant.
Recently, Hello Giggles wrote an article highlighting some of the best web series on Youtube: the literary retellings (if you click above, the link will take you there). I admire the article, but in my humble opinion they missed a few. In that spirit I decided to write my own little blurb about some of the best retellings on the interwebs. They’re listed in the order they popped into my head…
1. Jules andMonty. I just finished watching this and the end…oh the end. This is the retelling of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet done by Tufts University students. It’s all student cast (with the exception of Friar Lawrence) and intersperses some of the original dialogue throughout. I found it a little odd, but after the first two episodes it became normal and I became entranced with Jules and Monty’s epic tale. It led me to believe that the story…

Adaptation has some exciting news!
In a fated cataclysm of events, Adaptation is being allowed to attend and cover Bridport’s From Page to Screen film festival. This year, the festival will be curated by BBC Radio 4’s Francine Stock and host a long list of exciting guests such as The Woman in Black‘s director James Watkins, screenwriter Miora Buffini and Salmon Fishing in the Yemen‘s screenwriter Simon Beaufoy.
Host Kendyl Bryant will be journeying to Bridport for the festival this coming week to get the scoop from the planning committee and guests on the festival itself and the ups and downs of adapting the written word for film.
Stay tuned for episodes to come!
MEGA apologies to anyone who downloaded Adaptation #7: Seneca Crane’s Beard Invalidates Your Argument on the first day that it came out and found that it was missing the last 6 minutes.
The problem has been fixed, as have all the links and a quick re-download will get you the complete episode.
Sorry for the trouble,
The Adaptation Crew
and dressed up as Katniss’s prep team!
Plus, we saw (and got autographs from) Chris Hemsworth, Elizabeth Banks, Liam Hemsworth and Jennifer Lawrence! Josh Hucherson was there, but kinda missed our section. Oh well!

Hello Adaptations listeners!
I hope everyone had a great holiday season. We’re quite far into the new year now, I know, and it’s been a long time since we’ve had an episode or an update.
I have to admit, this is my fault. I kept meaning to read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and I just never did. Jess, on the other hand, ever the responsible one, has read it and will be our authority on it for the upcoming episode.
Speaking of which, it’s going to be a crazy one. Since we’ve been gone for so long, and I feel like we’ve missed a lot, we’re going to be jamming three books into a single Adaptation.
As I mentioned, Jess will be heading up Stieg Larsson’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo discussion, Corey will be back again to talk about Janet Evanovich’s One For the Money and I will have read Susan Hill’s The Woman in Black. It’s a lot to fit in one episode, but we’ll try to keep it brief and do each novel justice.
Until then, happy reading!
