I had no idea that there were so many book-to-screen adaptations coming out soon. I only knew of one and it wasn’t something I was particularly interested in. Now that I have more info, I’ll have to check out some of the others!

Wendy Williams
I didn’t realize that Will Trent was based on a series by Karen Slaughter. I read The Villa and liked it. Another fun Monday Matters, Jodie!
