December book and movie adaptation read-alikes

move read-alike image

One of my favorite things about the holiday season is the new movies. This year, I am extra excited that six movie adaptations of great books are being released.

Book and movie tie-ins are very popular with library patrons, so circulation always increases when a movie version is released. In anticipation of this, we made some Read-Alike collections.

Wild Read-Alikes

Into the Woods Read-Alikes

The Hobbit Read-Alikes

Unbroken Read-Alikes

American Sniper Read-Alikes

Inherent Vice Read-Alikes

These would make great curated collections on your digital library homepage! Last spring, libraries that highlighted read-alikes collections for Gone Girl and Diary of a Wimpy Kid saw excellent growth in circulation for the related titles. A case study of selected libraries and included eBooks demonstrated an average circulation increase of 178% over 30 days when compared to the 30 days prior to adding the curated collections.

If you would like more recommendations, please email us at collectionteam@overdrive.com. Happy Holidays!

Please note that title availability may vary by geographic location and platform.
