Not only are there incredible books being released in 2024, but there are film adaptations everyone is excited about. Some of you may not know that these books are being adapted, so MBC is here to help you all.
There are critically acclaimed books from the New York Times to #BookTok that have created some chatter online. Whether you’re a Colleen Hoover fan or a spice lover of Herbert’s, there’s something for everyone this year.
The books listed below are also some of my most anticipated of the year and hopefully, I will be able to read the books before or after I watch some of these. From romance to horror to sci-fi, here are the 10 most anticipated book adaptations of 2024.
Hot Off The Shelf: January 16th-23rd 2024
Welcome to 2024, everyone!
The year has started nicely! And it comes with a fresh start. What does a fresh start mean exactly? It means a new reading list and some more books added to your TBR! Whether you’re starting a new series or continuing one, plenty of books are on the shelves that need to be read. January 2024 is starting with a bang because of some awesome releases from our favourite genres.
Check out the books being released in the last two weeks of January.
If You Like ‘Mean Girls’ Add These To Your TBR
Tina Fey adapted Queen Bees and Wannabees by Rosalind Wiseman for the original script. The parenting and adolescent self-help book breaks down the cliques in high school and how damaging the notion of popularity can be. Girls go through so much in “Girl World,” and Fey was able to highlight all of that in Mean Girls. Everyone feels seen in that film, and that’s why it will always have a place in the zeitgeist.
The 10 Books To Kick-Off Your Year
At MBC, we have created a strong community for everyone to feel comfortable seeking support. We want everyone to feel safe enough to share what’s on their mind, even if it’s not about books. Maude has read some of the self-help books on this list and will recommend them to anyone.
‘A Court of Thorns and Roses’ Courts Breakdown
We know that Fantasy readers LOVE maps. Any map found when opening a book for the first time fills our hearts with joy. It draws the reader directly into the world and gives much-needed structure in visualizing where these characters reside. The map in A Court of Thorns and Roses shows where all the Faes live and the breakdown of the Courts.
‘A Court of Thorns and Roses’ Character Breakdown
Maude’s Book Club will FINALLY dive into A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. There will be a total of six books in the series. There is a long list of characters in each court. But Maas breaks down all the courts so well. The world-building is possibly the best aspect of the series because of what Maas created.
The main characters of Tamlin, Rhysand and Feyre keep readers invested in the story and have become household names for Fantasy readers. MBC is thrilled to have these characters in January! And for those reading it for the first time, we’re hoping that our community members would want to continue the series!

The 10 Best Starter Science Fiction Novels
Happy National Sci-Fi Day!!
If you’ve been a sci-fi reader since the beginning, then you may have read the books on the list below. BUT, if you’re new to sci-fi and want to dip your toes in the genre, then the books below are the best starters to get to know your palette. The beauty of science fiction is that most stories explore the idea of isolation, which makes any reader instantly connect with the protagonist.
Here at MBC we are massive sci-fi fans and encourage everyone to start reading from this genre. Come and join us in the discord for more fun discussions about wicked sci-fi novels!
Maude’s Book Club 2024 First Third OF THE YEAR selections
Maude’s Book Club launched at the beginning of this year, and our 2023 slate was filled with wonderful books. Over the past year, the MBC community has voted on the books we wanted to read, most of which have been winners!
For the first four months of the year, Maude Garrett and book club members have chosen the novels sitting on their TBR. If you are an ACOTAR fan, missed Divine Rivals this year, want to start an R.F. Kuang novel or return to sci-fi with Andy Weir, you should come and join us in 2024!
If You Like ‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ Add These To Your TBR
We have a new Percy Jackson series now streaming on Disney Plus!!
Fans of the book series have waited an incredibly long time for Rick Riordan’s series to have a good adaptation and it’s finally here. The film adaptation was released in 2010 with Logan Lerman portraying Percy Jackson, but the time of the release wasn’t the strongest. It had to fight alongside Harry Potter and Twilight, which were franchises pretty well-established. There were only two films released and the Percy Jackson fandom had more books to look forward to!
Now on Disney Plus, there will be new episodes streaming every Tuesday and the fans will have their golden trio on screen again. Walker Scobell, Leah Jeffries, and Aryan Simhadri are all incredible in their respective roles.
Join Maude’s Book Club!
