    Book Adaptations — Ft. Clarice Reads Stuff

    Guest alert! This week we’re joined by bookstagrammer Clarice Reads Stuff for a super interesting conversation on books screen adaptations and everything in between. Clarice talks about everything, from what makes a book adaptation a strong movie or show to the successes and failures of classic novels remade for the screen. We also learn about plenty of more recent movies and shows that we had no idea we’re based on books (The 100? Yes! Man on a Ledge? Sadly, no). Finally, the show wouldn’t be complete without a roundtable of WAYWA. Beware of princess classics and giant monster blobs. Find Clarice on Instagram @clarice.reads.stuff.
