Read the book then watch the movie

items I absolutely love finishing a book and being able to watch how someone else interpreted the essence of those characters, their story and the world they live in. These are some books that either already have been adapted to movies or tv or are soon to...

The Thursday Murder Club (Thursday Murder Club Series #1)
The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware, Paperback
A remarkably charming book. Love Marcellus and am really interested to see how they adapt him to film. Film coming to Netflix staring Sally Fields
Remarkably Bright Creatures (B&N Exclusive Edition)
Beautiful, profound emotionally written stories. Read it and tell me your favorite story. Movie staring Paul Mescal
The History of Sound
A great summer read. Love and friendship. An easy cute summer romance novel that makes you feel good.
People We Meet on Vacation by Henry & Emily
Psychological thriller, fun exciting read. Soon to be a Netflix movie.
The Housemaid: McFadden, Freida: 9781538742570
One of my favorite reads of last year. AUDIO BOOK IS BEST. A science teacher wakes up in a spaceship in the middle of space and must help save the world. If you have any interest in science/space this book is for you but even if not still incredibly ...
Project Hail Mary: A Novel by Andy Weir
TV shows
These books have been turned into tv series and already out/streaming.
I read the series WAY back and thought it was a good, sweet summer series but I loved the TV show and am planning on revisiting the books
The Summer I Turned Pretty (Summer I Turned Pretty Series #1)
I have so far only read the first and have not watched the show but I’ve heard it was very good! Excited to see if it holds up.
We Were Liars by E. Lockhart, Paperback
I read this book while traveling and on my way to Australia which is very interesting if you’ve read it lol. I found myself resonating with many of the characters and wondering what I would do if I found myself in that situation. I have not seen the ...
Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty, Paperback
Now adapted into a movie AND a Netflix series. For extra emotional damage read the book then watch the movie and series all back to back. Warning: I have consumed all 3 on separate occasions and sobbed very loudly so proceed with caution.
One Day by David Nicholls, Paperback
I started watching this show and stopped once I realized there was a book so I can go read it before eventually going back to the show. I feel like they took some liberties with show (as they do) but both were amazing.
Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid, Paperback
Movies
These books have been adapted into movies that have already been released
The original cool girl monologue. If you have never seen the movie you must read the book. I actually do think they did a good job with the movie and casting picks.
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn, Paperback
Such a beautiful and whimsical book. Genuinely wanted to runaway and join a circus after reading it. Convinced multiple friends and family to read it and reread it every couple years. Film stars Robert Patterson and although is nowhere near as good a...
Water for Elephants: A Novel by Sara Gruen, Paperback
Such a weird dark book that I really enjoyed. I thought the movie was strange and good but did not quite live up to the book.
I'm Thinking of Ending Things: A Novel by Iain Reid, Paperback
I feel like most people have probably already seen the movie but the book is soo good and they did a great job bringing it to life in the film.
Crazy Rich Asians (Crazy Rich Asians Trilogy #1) by Kevin Kwan, Paperback
This is a sweet warm fairytale gay romance. I feel like this book blew up on TikTok a while back but I didn’t realize it had a film adaptation already out on prime and never heard much buzz about it.
Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston, Paperback
