Recs if you like Reminders of Him...

Featuring morally gray men, unreliable narrators, emotional damage, dragons, serial killers, fake dating, enemies-to-lovers, and at least 47 books someone claimed “changed their life.” Proceed with caution.

The book girlies are seeing their favourite characters on screen this year so if you didn’t know or want to be ahead of the game and prep, this list is here. This list includes tv adaptations and movies so if you’re curious make sure to see if it’s streaming or theatre release. These have been announced to be in production but some don’t have a set date for release so don’t hate me if they don’t come out by 2027 😆

P.s. I’m including books whose adaptations already came out this year so far

These are the books that are going to be adapted as films this year. Let me know in the comments if there are more I didn't add!

End of 2025 and 2026 new movie releases based on books

The heartbreak. The longing. The emotional punches I was not prepared for. These books didn’t just make me tear up; they stayed with me, lingering in that quiet space after the final chapter. Soft souls, proceed carefully.
