I only found out there is already a series out for this Feeney book by doing research for this article. At first I wasn’t going to include it, but there might be others like me, who read and liked the book and don’t know it has recently been made into a series yet. His & Hers is a thriller with a hint of romance and a great plot that keeps you guessing until the very end.

While I have not read this book yet, I have a copy because I want to get to it soon. I have heard great things about the novel, and since I want to expand my book taste this year I chose Project Hail Mary as the first book to dip my toe back in to sci-fi. It takes place in space, is supposedly funny ánd thrilling, so I expect great things of both the book and the movie.

Thorpe has written such an original storyline with Margo as the protagonist. When she falls pregnant, unplanned, she has to find a way to provide for her child and herself, and quickly.

Like Project Hail Mary, I have this book on my shelf, but still have to read it. Not only did this debut novel gain in popularity last year, but it is a unique concept where themes of loneliness, grief and hope are explored through the narration of an octopus. I am anticipating a wonderful reading experience with this book, but also am intrigued to see how they will bring this to the screen.

As this is an indisputable piece of cultural history, I don’t think I need to give a summary of the book, nor do I think I can. This literary masterpiece is set in Ancient Greece and forms the basis of many other stories, books, movies and so on. Though it has been adapted often before, Ancient Greece and Greek mythology are topics that I am very interested in, so am excited to watch The Odyssey when it comes out in July. With names like Tom Holland, Matt Damon, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Anne Hathaway, Christopher Nolan and many more working on this film, I am sure it will be nothing short of inspiring.

Many of Hoover’s books are getting adapted recently, but I have not watched any of them yet. The adaptation of Verity one I will definitely watch though, since I both enjoyed the book and Dakota Johnson is starring as the main character alongside Anne Hathaway. When the cast is that strong, the movie has to be too.

Another book I have not read yet, but I will without a doubt watch the movie. I have read the original trilogy way back when they had just come out, and was captivated by them, like so many of us. The movies were possibly even better, and when The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes came out, I watched the movie without having read the book. If I get to it first, I still want to read the latest novel, but if not I will gladly watch the movie when it comes out.

While this one is not planned for 2026 and does not have a definite release date yet, I simply had to include it in this list. As you may know, Kristin Hannah is one of my favourite authors and The Nightingale was the first novel I read by her. The storyline is captivating, heartbreaking and devastatingly relevant today. Set during World War II in France, it follows two sisters who take different paths in the war. The roles will be filled by the Fanning sisters, which I think is an excellent choice for these roles and I am incredibly excited to watch this move whenever it comes out.

It is hard to pick a favourite Emily Henry book, but Beach Read is definitely in the top for me. After watching People We Meet On Vacation, I am even more excited to watch all of her other adaptations, if they are set to follow the same trend of colourful settings and great casting. Knowing that Phoebe Dynevor is already cast as January, I am confident this adaptation will be at least just as good as the previous book, if not better. Though we are still waiting for an official release date, it is already on my radar for 2027.
