_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Lemony Snicket's a Series of Unfortunate Events 
{Netflix Original, now playing}
Book Review: Can you believe I've never reviewed them?! Will rectify.
If you didn't like the Jim Carey movie adaptation 10 years ago, don't count this one out! It is fantastic and my kids give it 5 stars!

Before I Fall  
{in theaters March 3rd}
Book Review: HERE
This is a highly anticipated YA adaptation. #fingerscrossed it does the book justice.

The Shack 
{in theaters March 3rd}
Goodreads Reviews: HERE  
My mom and I read The Shack back in 2007. It is quick read and you will either love it or feel meh about it. It really impacts some while others cannot get passed the idea that that God is a Black Woman. Just keep in mind, it's fiction.

Beauty and the Beast
{in theaters March 17th}
Oh my gosh! I am MOST excited about this one! Belle is the ultimate Book Princess. Of course, I am speaking of the Disney version of this old tale. The original story was written in 1740 and I have not read it... on purpose. I am too attached to Disney's version. They have ruined me. I just want to hum 'a tale as old as time...'. It just wouldn't be right if you didn't watch this film immediately... and you would also forfeit the privilege to call me Nat.

13 Reasons Why
{Netflix Original, Premiers March 31st} 
Book Review: HERE
The ultimate YA book on the effects of bullying and the sad reality of suicide. This is a must-read for all teens and parents.

The Boss Baby
{in theaters March 31st}
Goodreads Reviews: Here The picture book was fun and had great illustrations but oh man, this movie looks hilarious. Alec Baldwin has the perfect voice for The Boss.

Everything Everything
{in theaters May 19th} 
Book Review: HERE
The book review for Everything Everything was done by an expert, Kelli, on the life of the chronically ill. I think this movie will have the same affect as The Fault in Our Stars, an emotional punch to love and life.

Captain Underpants
{in theaters June 2nd}
We own every single book and my Monsters love this series. I will be taking The Mob to this opening day.

Wonder
{in theaters November 2017} 
Book Review Here & Here This is a book that could melt the heart of an Ice Queen. So touching and makes you look at the world with kinder eyes. President Obama actually said that if there was one book that he would recommend everyone read, it would be Wonder. I will definitely be posting a lot more about this adaptation in the coming months.

  2. I LOVED the 2004 Series of Unfortunate Events film adaptation and I was a bit ambivalent about the new Netflix version, but it grew on me as I watched it.

    I'm really looking forward to seeing Silence, Hidden Figures, Tulip Fever, The Girl with All the Gifts, Beauty and the Beast, The Zookeeper's Wife, The Circle, and Lady Macbeth. I'm also stoked about some of the superhero/comic book adaptation films coming out–Logan, Wonder Woman, and Guardians of the Galaxy 2 are at the top of my list!

  3. I am still shocked when I hear people say they didn't like the 2004 adaptation of Unfortunate Events! I plan to binge watch the Netflix series Spring Break with the mob.

    Hidden Figures was fantastic and will probably be one of my favorites of this year.

    I was just talking with my brother about The Girl with All the Gifts, it is going to be so freaking crazy!

    I didn't know about Lady Macbeth! #yasss

    And the comics had me at WONDER WOMEN!
