The sure thing is the first book in Suzanne Collins' epic Hunger Games trilogy is due for release on the big screen March 23, 2012. Jennifer Lawrence (thrilling in the book-based adult film Winter's Bone) snagged the lead as Katniss Everdeen. Click here for sneak peak info on the film.
Cassandra Clare's first book in the Mortal Instruments series, City of Bones, has been "optioned", which the author says is "Hollywoodese" for no film yet. Read ahead and try this series and books in the prequel series, Infernal Devices.
Another book-to-film possibility is Shiver, first in the Wolves of Mercy Falls series by Maggie Stiefvater. Click on over to an author website and view some fabulously artful book trailers for each of three books in the series.
