Each month, numerous books make the leap from page to screen, debuting in theatres or on TV. As an avid reader, I always enjoy keeping up with these adaptations to see how faithfully (or not!) the stories I love have been brought to life. Today, I’m spotlighting the books that have made the transition From Page To Screen in January 2025. Are any of these titles ones you’ve read? Thanks to Bookreporter.com for help with this post.

I’m kinda interested in the Dog Man movie — haha! I know the kids who stop by the store adore Dog Man, so I hope they do the source material justice.

‘Missing You’ was great and I look forward to ‘Unstoppable’ with J-Lo.

I’m a huge fan of the Will Trent TV series (mainly because of Betty the chihuahua) and have been enjoying the latest season so far. I will have to check out the books by Karin Slaughter!

I will be checking out the new season of Will Trent shortly. I am watching the new season of the Lincoln Lawyer right now. I will have to see if I enjoy The Night Agent, I checked out the book and although I haven’t and probably won’t be reading it, I think I would enjoy the series.

I hope you enjoy all of those Carla.
