Books You Should Read Before They’re Made Into Movies in 2019

Get a head start on the cinema crowd

Is the book always better than the movie? Whatever you think, we recommend both reading the book and seeing the film version. Some of the best, most classic movies came from books, and 2019 will continue to release lots of book-to-movie adaptations. If you love seeing a story you only imagined come to life on the big screen, and being in the know about what upcoming movies are worth catching, good news - you have lots of time to read up on these books before they become hit movies next year!
