READ IT FIRST: Book to Movie Adaptations (July 2017 +)

It's time to update my master list of adaptations!
I love keeping up with these because I do prefer to read the book first and this really helps me stay up to date on what is coming out in the future so I can squeeze it onto my TBR.

I'm really slacking this year and have a lot of catching up to do but that just means I have to put off watching the movie until I get around to the book.
