This is a TV show, right? it counts because there's going to be a second season this year, so the adaptation is on-going

Yes, limited releases count!

Is Station Eleven really being adapted this year though? I found news from last year about it being optioned, and nothing more

I don't think it's happening

So which book are you guys picking? I think I'm gonna go with Big Little Lies. I wanna read the Handmaiden's Tale this year but not right now cause I bet it's depressing

Hey everyone! milfordacademy here!
