Books Hitting the Big Screen: Your Book Besties Talk Upcoming Adaptations

This week, your book besties are diving straight into the world of book-to-movie adaptations- the good, the bad, the chaotic, and the ones we’ll absolutely watch even if we haven’t read the book (yet). From The Housemaid and The Running Man to Wicked, Frankenstein, People We Meet on Vacation, Project Hail Mary, and even The Odyssey (yes… Nolan’s doing The Odyssey), Kat and Amanda are talking upcoming releases, which ones they plan to read first, and which movies they’ll watch without a second thought. We’re covering: Whether you should read the book before the movie 2025–2026 adaptations we’re excited (or chaotic-neutral) about Tangents about childhood reads, reluctant TBR choices, and algorithm-driven destiny Bestie peer pressure, nostalgic thrillers, and why Kat is still trying to get Amanda to read The Hunger Games A mini meltdown over Wuthering Heights And, a whole lot of other unfiltered opinions And of course… we wrap up with Trope Talk, where the rules are questionable, the arguments are petty, and the tropes? Well, we might be recycling them at this point. Grab your popcorn (or your TBR cart). It’s adaptation season. Want to join our book club? Sign up for our newsletter to stay in the loop.
