27 Books Being Made Into Movies In 2017

A new year means new books to read, and I love when some of my favorites are made into movies. So cool to see them come alive on the big screen. Of course I almost always think the book is better so I try to read it before I see the movie.

In 2015 and 2016 I shared my top lists of books that were being made into movies, and it’s time for the 2017 list. I’ve actually read a few of these already and have others on my to-be-read list. A Monster Calls (reading that one now with the kids!), A Dog’s Purpose, Same Kind of Different As Me, The Shack, and The Nightingale are all on my must-see list. Here are all of the upcoming books-to-movies that I think look great.
