2022 Book Adaptations to look out for

Hey everyone and welcome to Owl Book World! Today I am talking about 2022 book adaptations. Am I the only one that looks at what books are getting turned into movies the following year? This is something that I try to do nearly every year because I either like finding out if there are any books I have read that are getting an adaptation or if there are any books that I need to check out.

I am definitely one of those people that needs to read the book before the movie. Why? It’s not really for snobbery the movie like a lot of people do. I mostly want to read them before the movie because I know if I don’t then I won’t even bother reading the book. There are so many things that a movie changes or don’t even bother including that it’s almost a sin to not even read the book. So why don’t I bother reading them if I watch the movie first? Most of the time the end result is going to be the same. It’s not very often that the ending of a movie differs from the book. Because of this, I don’t exactly get excited to find out what’s going to happen in the book which makes it hard for me to find any interest in the story.

What is Bookshop and why should you use them?

Hey everyone and welcome to Owl Book World! With there being a lot of readers out there I want to be able to give everyone another option of where to get books. I’m getting to the point where I’m getting tired of putting money into someone’s pocket that makes three times as someone who owns an independent book store. I’d rather put my money towards someone who actually needs it and it probably struggling right now because of covid. If I’m like that then I’m sure there are even more people out there who feel the same way. Eventually, I’m going to do a post on alternatives of Amazon but first I want to bring up Bookshop. What is Bookshop? And exactly do they help independently owned stores?

Best books of 2021 that should be on your bookshelf

Hey everyone and welcome to Owl Book World! Today I’m wanting to talk about the best books of 2021. All of these books I have read and LOVED so I have to share them with you. Most of these books are going to be horror and thriller because that’s mostly what I read. If that’s what you enjoy as well then great! If not then let me know in the comments what some of your favorites are!

Best books of 2021

I feel like this year I have a lot more to add to my favorite list. I’m not really sure if that’s because this year I was a little lenient or if I was better at picking books I knew I would enjoy. Or maybe it’s a little bit of both because COVID has made me realize I shouldn’t be so harsh and be a little particular about what I pick up. What have been some of the best books of 2021 to you?
