I’m one of those people that like to read the books before I see the movies. I’d like to say that 80% percent of the time I do that. I feel like seeing the movie spoils the book, y’know? Here I have listed 6 books that have been adapted into films that will be released in 2016 (most of them in later part). I know there are many more coming out but these 6 here are my most anticipated!

The next day, she wakes up with a horrible hangover, various wounds and bruises, and no memory of the night before. She has only a feeling: something bad happened.

I had the Light Between Oceans on my TBR and it just kind of got away from me. I had no idea it was going to be a movie. I hope to get to read it before the movie comes out. Especially ME Before You!
