Book-to-Screen – Book Adaptations That You Can Enjoy From The Comfort Of Your Home!

Our local theaters are still closed, but we have a local drive-in movie theater that just started up last week. For now they are showing some previously released movies, but I suspect that will be changing soon. In the meantime here are three series and one movie that you can enjoy from the comfort of your home!

I hope there is something here that catches your eye!
