2021 Book to Movie Reading Challenge #Book2MovieRC


We're back for another year! Yes, things are looking a bit different now, with movie theaters closed and many newly released movies going straight to streaming. Sadly, I saw more movies in the theater before COVID. The theater we went to had really cheap matinee prices. Now, I just wait to watch after they've been released for a while, or when awesome streaming services release the films free for subscribers (like the new Wonder Woman movie coming out this month. Woot!). 

Anyway, let's see what's on the docket for 2021. As things have been going, these releases are subject to change.

Read only books being made into movies for release in 2021 (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 2021, feel free to read it).

Additional Levels

Here's a list of 2020 movies adapted from books. (Note: Some of the movies listed may have been moved to 2021).

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.
