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

You will notice I've changed up the levels to make things less complicated (I hope). 


Main Levels

The Enthusiast: read 1-3 books
First One to the Theater: read 4+ books

Read only books being made into movies for release in 2020 (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 2020, feel free to read it).

Additional Levels

Not Ready to Let Go: read at least one (1) book made into a movie or series in 2019

Here's a list of 2019 movies adapted from books. (Note: Some of the movies listed may have been moved to 2020).

Living in the Past: read at least one (1) book made into a movie in previous years

You can Google for previous years, or check Goodreads lists.

The Movie Was Better (What!?): watch the movie(s) for the book(s) you read.

*the additional levels are optional, you still must complete one of the main reading levels above

Additional Guidelines
  • The books you read can count for other challenges. Ebooks, audiobooks, and traditional formats all count.
  • The start date is January 1, 2020 so any book you started between the first of January, and now, counts. End date is December 31, 2020.
  • Remember, TV series/mini-series count too.

  2. You said you were welcoming additions to the list. One that's notable is the new rendition of "Dracula" that the BBC + Netflix just put out, starting on New Year's Day.

  4. New to the challenge. Signing up! For some weird reason I couldn't submit the link above, maybe because I don't have a blog here. An error pops up! I'm signing up with this message if that's allowed.
    LOVE reading books into movies! I'm not a blogger, but I'm WJ Cintron @ Litsy where I'll be posting pics and blurbs as I read along from other challenges and this one! Happy readings, everyone!!

    1. Did you check the privacy check box just below the spaces for your name and url (link)? Also, make sure you're adding a correct url (with the http:// included). If you still can't get it, the comments are perfectly fine. Thanks for signing up!
