I try to read the book before the movie as often as possible but sometimes I'm unaware of the movie until it's too late and then I'm too busy trying to read the book before some new movie comes out. I'm accumulating this list so I can keep track of what adaptations are coming up and maybe stay on top of the list! I'll mostly only list adaptations that I am interested in reading/watching but if there's something you think I would be interested or that YOU are really interested in, let me know in the comments and I will add it!
I will continue to add to and edit this list as time passes and I learn more.

I did NOT know about all of these. One I'm particularly excited about is 11/22/63 - it is one of my favourite books! - but I don't know if it'll be available to watch in the UK any time soon. I do hope so. And I've just read The Gunslinger as well, and have the sequel on my to-read pile. I loved Ready Player One and The Girl With All The Gifts, though I'm a bit wary of the film of the latter. Will have to wait and see how that turns out.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! didn't know about so many of these! Thanks for the awesome list; you've got me really excited, especially for Between Shades of Gray. And now I know that I really need to read Me Before You!
