Blurbs From the Branch: Books to Movies

Filed under: Blurbs from the Branch, Books, Info, Movies — Tags: , — Bethany Branch @ 12:20 pm

Here at the library we usually see an increase in demand for a book when it’s turned into a movie around the time the movie is released.  Here are some books that are being adapted into movies that are scheduled to be released in 2013: 

Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia

Carrie by Stephen King

Enders Game by Orson Scott

Fallen by Lauren Kate (release date still pending)

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer

The Host by Stephanie Meyer

Mortal Instruments:  City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

The Last Apprentice:  Revenge of the Witch (will be released as The Seventh Son) by Joseph Delaney

Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks

Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion

The Wettest County in the World by Matt Bondurant (2012)

The Wolf of Wall Street by Jordan Belfort

World War Z by Max Brooks

And of course, Catching Fire (Hunger Games 2) by Suzanne Collins and Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan are already highly anticipated.

 There will be more books adapted into movies next year, but I’ve listed some titles that have already actors cast.  Get a jump on these before demand increases!
