I just finished reading Where the Crawdads Sing, and found out that they have already filmed a movie to be released next year. The lead actress is Daisy Edgar-Jones, who also played the lead in Normal People series. Both of these were book group picks of ours.

If a book group pick is on at the theatre, we do try to organize a book-group movie night. Such fun, then we can compare book to movie afterwards.

I really enjoy seeing how the movie producers/directors/cinematographers etc, bring the book to light. Some done very well, others leaving you a bit flat.

Of our other book group picks this year, I don't know if I could bear to go see Shuggie Bain if it were a movie!

Any books you have recently read that you would love to see as a movie?

Haven't read "Where the Crawdads Sing" but thank you for recommending it.
I've read "Educated" by Tara Westover and I thought that it will be nice to see the movie. Although I remember watching the movie "The Glass Castle" (book by Jeannette Walls) and I didn't enjoy that movie at all(( Maybe movies based on biographies are not easily adapted, don't know.

Some of the Lisa Jewell crime books would make a good drama.

Creepy, suspenseful, with some romance and relationship themes also.
