We all love a good adaptation of classic literature, but sometimes it does not do the original justice at all. Here are five classic books I think deserve a new, good film or TV adaptation.

Lets talk money! This video is a deep dive into my analytics, and I show how much ad revenue Ive earned from the six best-earning videos on my channel. Ever since my booktube channel got monetized, Ive been fascinated by which videos earn a substantial amount of ad revenue and which dont. At 6000 subscribers (thank you!) I am of course just a small example in the world of booktube, but I thought it would be interesting to have a look at the videos YouTube thinks are worth cash and how much ad revenue they make compared to my channel average. Spoiler, its not the ones about books.
