I love a good movie about a book. It adds another dimension to the story of the movie since we can’t get our hands on the book (in most cases) leaving us with an unfulfillable desire to discover the contents of the book.
Here are some of my favourite movies that centre around a book or books.

The Pagemaster is the big reason I wanted to become a writer. It is among one of my highest inspirations. I want to give readers that kind of experience. Make them feel like they can leave the real world for a while. It’s such a fantastic movie. ❤️📚❤️
