5 Bookish Adaptations I'm Looking Forward to Watching

I really enjoyed Channel 4's recent adaptation of Catch-22. It was beautifully shot, and managed to be both profoundly funny and tragic, much like the book.



Here are the top 5 bookish adaptations I'm looking forward to watching next:

1. Where'd You Go, Bernadette



I loved the book (in fact, I loved both books I've read by Maria Semple), and I'm sure Cate Blanchett will be fantastic. I also adore the choice of the song 'She's Not There' in the trailer. The film is due to come out on 16 August.

2. The Kitchen



This one is based on a graphic novel, so I might not actually read it. The film looks fantastic, though. It reminds me of Widows (2018), which I'm obsessed with. I also adore Melissa McCarthy. The Kitchen is due to be released on 20 September 2019.

3. Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch



This is one I've been meaning to read for a while. I know it's already on Amazon Prime, but I plan to watch it when it comes to the BBC, hopefully later this year, and I will definitely read it before then. I'm especially looking forward to seeing David Tennant as Crowley.

4. Dracula



I really enjoyed this novel, so am looking forward to BBC's adaptation, even though it's not due out for a while. I usually always enjoy the BBC's bookish adaptations, and what little I've seen about this one so far certainly looks promising.

5. Little Women



This is another one I somehow haven't managed to read yet, but I will make sure I read it before I watch the film. I wasn't convinced this book was for me, but a film adaptation written and directed by Greta Gerwig, and starring Meryl Streep, Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, and Timothée Chalamet (not to mention Laura Dern and James Norton) is enough to change my mind. It's due to be released on 17 January 2020.
