Again, if you find out about any I haven't mentioned, leave me a comment and I'll add to the list.

There are multiple levels for this challenge:


Level 1a: read 1-3 books
Level 1b: read 4+ books

Read only books being made into movies for release in 2018 (you are not required to only read from the list above. As I stated, if you find another movie or TV series/mini-series based on a book coming out in 2018, feel free to read it).

Level 2a: 1-3 books from 2018 movie releases, 1-3 books from books made into movies from previous years
Level 2b: 4+ books from 2018 movie releases, 4+ books from books made into movies from previous years

Here's a list of 2017 movies adapted from books. (Note: Some of the movies listed were moved to 2018).
You can also Google for previous years, or check Goodreads lists.

Level 3a: read 1-3 books from any release year, watch 1-3 movies from any release year
Level 3b: read 4+ books from any release year, watch 4+ movies from any release year

Note: Movies watched must be the movie adaptation of the book(s) you read.
  • The books you read can count for other challenges. Ebooks, audiobooks, and traditional formats all count.
  • The start date is January 1, 2018 so any book you started between the first of January, and now, counts. End date is December 31, 2018.
  • Remember, TV series/mini-series count too.
