Books Made into Movies

Did you know, many of your favorite movies are based on books?

It makes sense, right? The book is wildly good. It plays vividly in your head as you read. You think, "Wow, someone should really make this into a movie!"

Good new, this happens more than you think!

Here are some of my favorites (I've marked movies with an asterisk if I've also read the book). Let me know on social media what books to movies are your favorite.

YA=Young Adult book

C=Children's book

The Hobbit

Dances with Wolves  *

Princess Diaries  YA

Pride and Prejudice  *

Jurassic Park  *

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants  YA

Maze Runner  YA

You've Got Mail
