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 From Page to Screen: Must-See June 2025 Book-to-Film Adaptations. Are any of these titles ones you’ve read? Thanks to Bookreporter.com for help with this post.

Great post, Jodie💜 I didn’t know about The Survivors adaptation.

It sounds good to me too Jonetta.
ER LeVar
Life of Chuck being in theatres absolutely explains the random hardcover editions we unpacked the other day! Thanks for solving a mystery. I don’t think it’s showing anywhere near my store, so we couldn’t figure out for the life of us why we got those hardcovers in.

I’m glad I could help ER.

I have read The Survivors by Jane Harper and will give that one a go. I enjoyed the books, so it will be interesting to see what they do with it for the adaptation. Thanks for letting me know about it, Jodie.

I have been watching Revival, not that I read the graphic novel. I’ve added Nautilus and We Were Liars to my list to watch too. And I need to watch the Sex and the City Spinoff too!

I hope that you’re enjoying them all Lisa.
