Good news, book nerds! And movie nerds! And TV nerds! It’s time once again for our regular roundup of new and upcoming book-to-screen...

Polls

Since classics won the poll for our genre in January, I decided to pick a theme and what better choice for the new year than a theme of new beginnings, starting over, diving into something different. I researched it online and the three books in the poll are common classics that come up under this theme. I hope you like the choices. This poll will be open until Tuesday, December 20.

Note: We will not have a poll for February, as we will be reading a special book in honor of Black History Month...The Color Purple by Alice Walker.
