Book to Movie Adaptations I Am Anticipating!

I always at least TRY to read the book before I watch the movie. In some cases, I just don't have time to catch up on ALL the adaptations because there are just too many of them and I either can't get my hands on the book or my fiance doesn't want to wait until I read 100+ books before I get around to a specific book that has been turned into a movie. But I try. 

I've noticed that there are a lot more young adult book to movie adaptations coming out soon but I'll be listing any and all that I am personally interested in.

I will try to keep them in order pertaining to when the movie releases but as I get farther along into 2015+, I probably won't have exact dates so they will get jumbled.

I will also either state that I have 'READ' the book or 'NEED TO READ'.


(Release dates are for United States)

--------------

I'm not adding Fifty Shades of Gray because I never plan on reading the book or watching the movie.

Are there any other book to movie adaptations that are coming out soon that I didn't add?
