I always watch the movies first before reading the books, and so most of the books I read have movie adaptations. They include the Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling, Robert Langdon Series by Dan Brown (which I have not finished since not all books have film adaptations), and even Fifty Shades Series by E.L James. I just recently watched Ready Player One and I think it was based on a book which I have yet to read.

I watched The Glass Castle not so long ago and I just found out that it was based on a book, so I'm interested in reading that!

Harry Potter movies made me read the books.
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is another movie that led me to the book. I'm currently reading it, and it's different, but much more interesting than the movie! ❤️❤️

I can never ever get tired of Harry Potter. I can read those books and watch the movies a hundred times and never get bored.

Herry potter. I had never read the books before the movie.

I first saw "Fifty shades of grey" in a movie. Then got the book. I loved the book. Now I've read "Fifty shades of grey", "Fifty shades darker", "Fifty shades freed" and "Fifty shades of grey as told by Christian Grey". Loved them all.

The Maze Runner Series!!!! I saw the movies and knew I just had to read the books. Even Percy Jackson did the same and its the best choice I ever made. The movie does not do justice to Rick Riordan's writing at alllllll. Usually I would like to read the book before I really get into a movie though.

You MUST read Ready Player One. That's all I have to say. It's an amazing 80s-tastic adventure. I'm already impatiently waiting for Ready Player Two (11/24).

The divergent series books and movies. After reading the books and they came out with the movies, I had to see it. It's cool how they change little things here and there between the two. It's more detailed in the books I think cause u can actually feel the emotions from the characters. But it's amazing.

"The Importance of Being Earnest". Rese Witherspoon was hilarious. The plot is hilarious. Especially if you know anyone named Ernest or a variation of the name.

The Black Hawk down by Mark Bowden. I watched the movie produced by Gerry Bruckheimer, then so badly wanted to read the book as well.
