The book-to-movie trend isn’t letting up this year. If you like to read a book before you see the screen adaptation, here’s a list of books we have that are expected to be released as movies this year.

The historical fiction, Native Son by Richard Wright was released at the Sundance Film Festival. If you want to pick up the book, you can find it in Haileybury.

Where’d You Go Bernadette had been scheduled for 2018 but is now going to be released on August 9. If you want to check out the story before you see it, you can borrow the audio book from Haileybury.
