Amazing Books To Read Right Now!
With the days still short, and the nights, cold, this is the perfect time of year to curl up with a good book and a cup of coffee, tea, or cocoa. We’ve found a wonderful list of books that are perfect to read, NOW, before they’re turned into a movi. While some people love a book, followed by a movie, others enjoy being implanted into the world that the book delivers, and want nothing to do with the Hollywood versions. Whichever type you are, one thing is for sure: these books are must-reads, ready to invite you to spend your life inside the pages, for a while, as you enter another world. The list includes something for everyone, and we have to admit, they all sound pretty great! From romances and sci-fi thrillers, to books based on real-life people and stories, this list has it all and we’ve selected a few of our favorites to highlight for you (*along with the current info about when, how, and with whom the screenplays will be adapted).
