The Academy Awards are coming! And while there still isn't a host, and the show might be a total shambles, we're still going to tune in to see who wins. We at the library are usually partial to the book, though every once in a while Hollywood manages to catch some of the magic of the text on the screen. Here are the films adapted from books that caught the eye of the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences this year. There’s still time to read a few if you hurry before the Oscar ceremony on February 24.
And the Oscar Goes to...Books!
