Entertainment Weekly's 50 Books We're Dying to See Get Adapted

Published in March 2023, this is an excellent article and list that I highly recommend you read if you're interested in these books and/or screen adaptations from books. It's not just a list - it provides excellent detail about whether rights have been purchased, who would be the ideal directors and actors to bring the book adaptation to life, and other information. Some of these have been turned into tv series since it was published, but it's good to compare how they thought it should be adapted to the quality of the actual adaptation.
