Prepare yourselves, readers, because a whole lot of your favourite books are becoming TV shows in 2021. Thanks to the launch of new streaming services like HBO Max, the number of book-based TV shows appears to be on the rise, which is good news for adaptation fans. The coming year is set to bring books by the likes of Liane Moriarty, Stephen King, and Jessica Goodman to the small screen — in addition to the shows that have already come out. And there's a bevy of YA and graphic-novel-inspired shows coming your way as well, including the highly anticipated Gossip Girl reboot [1]. If you love reading books [2] before you see Hollywood's interpretation, dive into the titles on this list right now — because trust us, there are a whole lot of books about to be added to your 2021 TBR list.
