movie tie ins


The topic of April’s Genre Reading Group meeting on Tuesday, April 28th will be books that have been adapted to stage, film, and television. Remember, just about anything goes: audiobooks, the film, the tv show, a theater production you watched on Youtube, a physical book, an ebook…if you’ve enjoyed it, come tell us about it!

The April meeting will most likely take place on Zoom again.  Details will be available on our webpage www.eolib.org soon. In the meantime, follow Emmet O’Neal Library on Facebook and Instagram for the latest news on available programs and services.

If you’d like a headstart on the topic, here’s some handy lists!

Kanopy has a great "From Book to Screen" selection of films to watch!

(adapted from BookBub’s “40 of Our All-Time Favorite Book-to-Movie Adaptations, 2/7/2020)
“In honor of the Oscars, we’ve rounded up some of our all-time favorite movies based on books, which takes into account both how well the movie adapted to its original source material, as well as its overall success as a standalone piece of work.”


I’ve removed titles from the list that are not available digitally.  The sources referenced:
