In 2018 I did two different kind of if you liked this kind of topics and you all seemed to like it. I’m slowly collecting these as I go and as I remember things so I can’t promise any of you all that this will be a very frequent reoccurring thing. But they might pop up more.
For this one I decided to go with tv shows or movies that reminded me of certain books. Or even the other way around. I think many will have heard of these tv shows and movies but less likely will they have heard of these books. So I thought this was a great way to promote some more unknown books again.

Why
Both are set in space and take place almost completely on board a ship. We visit various planets and both have to make money through perhaps not quite so legal ways…
Supernatural // Bones and Bourbon
Why
Demons. All the demons. The gritty supernatural feels are all through both these, though Bones and Bourbon is more inclusive with more than just unknown species… The brother relationship is important in both stories. Both make you laugh.
Meet the Robinsons // The Many Worlds of Albie Bright
Why
Both try to find their family in very different ways but with some sci-fi mixed in. With both you truly feel for the main character.
Why
Both take place in the desert and deal with a race. Granted The Demon Race is more supernatural but I think if you enjoy the race elements or the setting of Hidalgo you could enjoy The Demon Race for sure.
Why
Both take a twist on known stories and mythologies. Sleepy Hollow plays with the story of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow and the four horseman. Shutter takes on Dracula/Vampires and Van Helsing. They both kind of dabble into the occult and have a very creepy atmosphere.
I really want to read Revenger—I’ve heard amazing things about the sequel! Thanks for sharing, Annemieke ❤

Revenger is great! I think the book in itself is stronger than the sequel. 🙂

The Demon Race reminded me a lot of Hidalgo too while I was reading it. I’m definitely taking a look at Bones and Bourbon. Anything that has Supernatural vibes is a must read. =P
Happy readings! 😉

Je had al meteen mijn aandacht getrokken toen ik deze in mijn blogfeed zag opduiken en Captain Reynolds herkende. Ook die voor Supernatural-fans sprak me al snel aan.

I haven’t watched any of these except for one season of Supernatural. I think I might like Firefly. I have no idea why I didn’t watch it when it was first out. 📺

Yes I think you might really like Firefly. It only has one season and a movie but so good. Tell me you will love Jayne 😀

Good call on Revenger for Firefly fans – strong sibling relationships, teenage girls being pushed past their limits, tight crews, and of course the focus on semi-legal space treasure hunters and space pirates all have that cross-over vibe!
