25 books you should read before they're turned into movies and TV shows next year

If you're looking to add to your TBR list — or to fill out your Christmas list —here are books to read before they hit the big (or small) screen.

Next year, several books will be adapted into movies and TV shows. One such book is "Children of Blood and Bone," the first installment in Tomi Adeyemi's young adult trilogy set in the alternate pre-colonial Nigeria kingdom of Orisha. Zelie, a magic user protagonist, leads a rebellion against the king who has suppressed magic for over a decade.

The film adaptation stars Thuso Mbedu, Tosin Cole, Amandla Stenberg and Damson Idris. "Neuromancer," a classic 1984 sci-fi/cyberpunk novel by William Gibson, will be adapted into an Apple TV+ series, starring Callum Turner, Briana Middleton and Mark Strong. Another upcoming adaptation is "Remain," based on an idea by M. Night Shyamalan and Nicholas Sparks, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Phoebe Dynevor.
