Books are no stranger to getting the Hollywood treatment. Sometimes they are big hits, and other times we wish they had left the novel alone. Hopefully this year will be full of great hits. With so many movies coming out that are based off of some of our favorite books, it’s quite a list, but we’re sure you’ll be able to read all of them before the are released. We’ve included the movies that are yet to be announced so you can get a jump start on next year’s list too. With out further ado, here are the movies that are adapted from books of 2015!
