It’s really cool to see how many books are getting movie/TV Show adaptations now. I just hope all of them aren’t a total bust. I would probably want Vicious by V.E. Schwab for Christmas, I keep hearing so much buzz around it but haven’t been able to find it anywhere locally.

At some point I will end up reading Ready Player One, but I suspect that point is a good 2 years into the future. It is just crazy how my reading schedule is already filled up 🙂

I didn’t realise Red Queen and Illuminae were being adapted – but I suppose with books that good it’s only a matter of time. Thanks for letting me know, now I have plenty of time for the hype to build!
I love giving people books that are being adapted, then when it comes out you get to have a cinema date with the receiver… what’s not to love?

The Handmaid’s Tale was made into a movie quite a few years ago, but it was (quite) terrible, so I’m hoping this adaptation will be better!
