2011 Page to Screen Reading Challenge

I found another fun reading challenge. Yes, I know I should stop but this seems like a fun and easy one. Read books that have been made into television shows or movies. Okay, I know normally I am not a fan of movies based on books but I think I can make an exception for a reading challenge, especially in 2011. I'll have a newborn and I can watch the movies and shows during the late night feedings!

Here's my tentative list:
P.S. I Love You by Cecelia Ahern 2007
Shopgirl by Steve Martin 2005
I Am Legend by Richard Matheson 2007
About a Boy by Nick Hornby 2003
Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine 2004
Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum 2002
Bourne Supremacy by Robert Ludlum 2004
Bourne Ultimatum by Robert Ludlum 2007
Spiderwick Chronicles by Tony DiTerlizzi 2008
Last Song by Nicholas Sparks 2010

Anyway, the 2011 Page to Screen Reading Challenge is from Reading Extensively.
