It’s been a long unplanned hiatus, but Long Distance Lit is back!

In this episode, Katie and Sarah reveal their favorite existing book-to-movie adaptations. We also learn from Sarah’s picks that she loves animated films, and from Katie’s picks that her taste follows no discernible pattern and can be predicted by no living mortal.

This discussion is specific to adaptations where we’ve read the book as well as seen the movie/tv show. We have somehow managed to keep from talking about the Harry Potter movies – a Harry Potter episode will happen one day, we promise!

Next episode, we’ll be sharing a super special update from Sarah in regards to a book series discussed in a previous episode.

Episodes are released the first weekend of the month.

Grab some popcorn! In this episode, Katie and Sarah are discussing book-to-movie adaptations coming out in 2018 and 2019. Because of the gap in between recording and publishing of episodes, several of these movies have already come and gone from movie theaters, but those are already out on DVD.

Next episode, we’ll be discussing our favorite book-to-movie adaptations.

This month, Katie and Sarah are discussing Sarah’s favorite book by her favorite author, I Am The Messenger by Markus Zusak. Spoilers for the novel are from 7:19 to 26:06.

Note: This book includes a scene where the main character witnesses a sexual assault. The scene is not graphic or gratuitous, and we mention it in passing in the podcast because it is relevant to the plot, but if you may be triggered by this, you might want to skip this episode.
