My cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com books.

I would suggest Keanu Reeves as the lead, but that doesn't bode well for the bookshop's cat. :( Otherwise, 100% solid movie pitch

Hand on heart - my father and I rented movies far worse than these from the Silver Screen video shop in the late 80s... So, I'm greenlighting all of these *reaches for chequebook*

This is what happens to @scalzi.com’s “Starter Villain” after Hollywood gets ahold of it. Especially the Bookshop Cat.

Jason Statham is...
THE LIBRARIAN
(as envisaged by Godfrey)

You know too much about Jason Statham movies. I've successfully avoided all of them to this point :)

Fluffy, go hold off the Evil Corporation for a bit, I've still got a half a chapter to go left in my current book!

*Meow!*

my vote is for the option that gives us bookshop cat!

draugmith.bsky.social•51 days ago

(it can be a _library_ cat instead if push comes to shove)

Could have saved Amazon some of that seven million.

Someone is angling for an executive producer credit. 🐴👍

Mark Kermode already likes all three of them.

id watch all three

The bookshop one only works if a big city lawyer comes to town and they fall in love. Also it's set at Christmas

Would binge watch all of them.

And as a sequel :
- the 3 heroes form the Literaters Team
- fighting a president and its parters in crime threatening to erase all books from Earth’ surface
- with the help of a world army of Readers

Let’s call it “Books Vs caps : the ultimate combat”
