Recs if you like The Notebook (The Notebook, #1)...

Disclaimer: I don't wish to bring hate to any authors, I deeply believe in democracy. However I think it's important for people who hold themselves accountable for their reading choices to have access to the information about authors/books they give their time and money to. These are authors who have publicly supported Israel or middle road. If you notice someone who may have changed their stance recently or supported Palestine and are here wrongfully please do correct me

Stories that traded chapters for showtunes! From literary classics to contemporary novels these books found a second life under the Broadway lights! Please let me know any that I've missed!! (Note on curation: I've been cross checking titles with Internet Broadway Database (IBDB) which is Broadway's official archive)

Books recommended by musician Lucy Dacus, a solo artist and member of the band boygenius. Pulled from her goodreads list.

As a massive bookworm and theatre nerd, this list was inevitable.

Books that were adapted into movies (not tv shows). Let's make this list as long as possible!

(going to only add the first book in a series)

I'm making these kind of lists to make you open your eyes and do your own research.

The list is never-ending so there will always be someone missing

Books that have been adapted into or inspired musicals

List of banned books from index

all books that have been adapted to another medium. mostly film and TV but other adaptations might get mixed in.

These are fiction stories that feature a character with a disability, either visible or invisible. The focus is on books that may not be considered “disabled stories” but rather books that have their own story and plot and just so happen to have a disabled character. ✅ The Notebook: A romance that features a character with Alzheimer’s ❌ The Fault in our Stars: Plot focuses heavily on their struggle w cancer. Suggestions welcome 🤗

Theater has long drawn inspiration from books, with works across time, genre, and subject matter having stage adaptations. You're sure to know some big names, but others might surprise you! How many have you seen?

Books that are set in a small town; variety of genres but all one teeny tiny town

Books that have been made into TV shows or movies. It always amazed me how many there are.

As always feel free to recommend any I missed!

The list of 100 books/series, created during PBS Great American Read series (2018) in which the public voted on the most influential and important reads in America. All series are represented by their 1st book.

Books that have been made into movies!

Some books stay with us for a lifetime. These are the stories that have made millions laugh, cry, and think—over and over again. Welcome to a celebration of the most beloved books of all time.

I am not able to forget these books. Read once and they become embroidered memories.

"And all at once, the ink bleeds, a con man sells a fool a get-love-quick scheme. But I felt a hole like this never before, and ever since."

Did you know these movies were based on books?

Sometimes the books aren’t better. Sometimes the movie or TV adaptation outperforms the source material by a MILE. These are those books.

This isn’t to say you shouldn’t read them, but you might be a little disappointed compared to their on-screen counterparts. Give them a read, and you be the judge!
