"We have a few universally accepted truths in this world. Water is wet. Puppies are cute. The book is almost always better than the movie.
Of course, just because the book is better, that doesn't mean you should completely skip the movie. You know you can catch up first in line, supporting any adaptation's time on the big screen. It's can be a lot of fun to see how the characters we pictured in our heads turn out on the big screen, and how screenwriters and everyone involved interpret the stories we've already come to know and love. So, as you start planning your calendar and budgets for the year, make sure you portion out some time and money for these book to movie adaptations!
While some of them haven't made it quite past the optioned stage, these are all the projects we're keeping an eye on in 2019."
