If you like to pick your reading material based on the TV shows you want to see, 2021 will give you plenty to choose from. Here are some of the best book to TV adaptations coming to our small screens this year.
Shadow and Bone – Leigh Bardugo
The first season of this highly-anticipated adaptation premiered on Netflix this spring. If you can’t wait for more of Alina’s adventures, you’ll be happy to hear Shadow and Bone is just the first book in a series of novels you can read right away.
The Underground Railroad – Colson Whitehead
The Pulitzer-winning novel about two slaves who follow the Underground Railroad on their quest for freedom has been adapted to screen by the Oscar-winning director Barry Jenkins. The TV version has been met with critical acclaim, and it’s just as harrowing as the novel itself.
Nine Perfect Strangers – Liane Moriarty
After rocking our world with Big Little Lies, Liane Moriarty and Nicole Kidman are joining forces again for Nine Perfect Strangers. Just like the novel that it’s based on, the mini-series centers on a group of people attending a secluded wellness retreat, run by a mysterious woman with a dark past.
