Slow Horses (Deluxe Edition)

It's always fun to see how good books get adapted for the screen. But sometimes, this happens before we've had the chance to read the source material. Or maybe we just want to reread the book before we watch. Here are fourteen of the books behind the buzziest book-to-screen adaptations.

With your toes in the sand, the sun on your face, and the roar of the surf drowning out your worries, reading at the beach is a double dose of escape. But what makes the perfect beach read? Depends on the reader. From frothy rom-coms to twisty thrillers, generational sagas to moving memoirs, our favorite beach reads run the gamut. Here are 29 beach-perfect books.

It's a fruitful time for book-to-screen adaptations. Below, we've selected a handful of the best literary movies and TV shows that are streaming now. Plus a bumper crop of titles that are coming soon. We're excited to watch! (But only after we read the book, of course.)
