As a lover of stories, it is always a great pleasure to witness some of my favourite books adapted onto the big screen. In this post, I wanted to share 15 books to movies that I’m incredibly excited to read and watch next.
Book Review: A Study in Drowning (A Study in Drowning #1) by Ava Reid
“A Study in Drowning” follows Effy Sayre and her nemesis Preston Héloury, as they are tasked to redesign Hiraeth Manor, the family house of the deceased but highly beloved author Emrys Myrddin.
Book Review: Sunrise on the Reaping (The Hunger Games #0.5) by Suzanne Collins
“Sunrise on the Reaping” is another prequel to The Hunger Games series. In this book, we follow Haymitch Abernathy as he’s thrusted into the 50th Hunger Games, also known as the second Quarter Quell, which held double the number of contestants. (In the original trilogy, Haymitch is the District 12 grumpy alcoholic mentor of Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark during the 75th Hunger Games.) Now, we get a glance at Haymitch’s tragic backstory – ripped away from his loved one, tasked to both fight and survive while protecting contestants from his District, and destined to fail in the Capitol’s deadly games.
12 Most Anticipated Fall Book Releases of 2025
Here are my 12 most anticipated fall book releases of 2025. Every single author on this list is a favourite author of mine, meaning, I’d pre-order and read everything and anything they publish. I am so incredibly excited for another brilliant fall reading list.
Book Review: Le Fantôme de l’Opéra by Gaston Laroux
Le Fantôme de l’Opéra suit l’histoire d’amour de la jeune chanteuse Christine Daaé et le Viscomte Raoul de Chagny qui sont tourmentés par, et oui, comme vous l’avez deviné, le Fantôme de l’Opéra. Dans ce récit, le fantôme (inspiré par une véritable personne qui a été abrité dans les souterrains de l’Opéra Garnier) prend aussi la forme d’un Ange de la Musique qui est à la fois professeur et une figure autoritaire dans la vie de Christine. Mais le changement de locataires des directeurs de l’opéra ainsi que la réunion des deux amis d’enfance viennent bouleverser les manies du fantôme contrôlant.
Book Review: Her Body & Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado
Her Body & Other Parties is a feminist short story collection that grapples with the horrors of the female experience, particularly in relation to female bodies, identities, as well as personal autonomy and storytelling.
