I’m always looking for new books to add to my Kindle and read. I particularly like books that have been turned into movies because the fact that they were made into a film says to me that the books are really good. If you are looking for something new to read, too, here are some more Books that are Movies at Netflix.

The Trouble Begins: A Box of Unfortunate Events Books 1-3 are the first books in Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events. My husband and kids loved Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events on Netflix, so I need to tell him about this book!

How many of you loved the movie The Notebook?? You’re going to want to read the book because the books are always better! This is the perfect book to grab and read when you’re spending some you-time.

Love, Rosie is one of my favorite books. This is the of best friends Rosie and Alex, best friends since childhood who are separated when Alex moves. But, fate isn’t done with them. This is one that all of you love romances will want to grab.

If you’re looking for one that kids and adults will enjoy together, you’ll want to grab The Little Prince. This book is a PBS Great American Read Top 100 Pick and will capture the hearts of readers of all ages.

What would you do if every boy you had a crush on found out all at once how you felt about them? That’s what happens to 16-year-old Lara Jean in To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. She writes letters to five boys she liked, pouring out her heart and soul, for her eyes only – until one day they get put in the mail.

And, the book The Stranger Beside Me is for all of you true crime lovers. This book is the inside story of serial killer Ted Bundy, which was made into the Netflix original The Ted Bundy Tapes.

Easy Buttery Popcorn Cupcakes – Creamy, sweet and topped with popcorn shaped marshmallows, this dessert is the perfect addition to a movie party, circus themed party, backyard movie night or family game night.

Popcorn Cupcakes

You know what has been my most favorite things about the kids growing up. They now can get in the kitchen and bake… and guess what?! They love it! I do too. Last week my daughter made lime sugar cookies with a lime butter cream frosting. This was using ingredients we had in the house too! So lately, I have been pinning more than just dinner recipes. I have been pinning baking recipes I want them to bake instead of me.

I wanted them to make these Popcorn Cupcakes for our Family Game Night. I also thought they would go perfect with a Backyard Movie Night, as well. But honestly, the possibilities are endless. Bake for an Oscar Night Movie Party, Circus Themed Party, or even a Girls Sleepover!

Enjoy!

Books that are Movies on Netflix

Have you been looking for some new books to read? If you want to read some new books that are also moves, you’re going to want to check out all these Books that are Movies on Netflix.

The English Patient is an award winning book that races the intersection of four damaged lives in an abandoned Italian villa at the end of World War II, including the English patient. The man is nameless and hideously burned, and both a riddle and a provocation to his companions.

We loved the movie A Wrinkle in Time, and I’m super excited to see it on Netflix now. If you haven’t read the book yet, you need to. As is usually the case, the book is even better than the movie!

Suite Française sounds like a fascinating book, one that is going on my to-read list. It tells the remarkable story of men and women thrown together in circumstances beyond their control as Parisians flee the city the night before the Nazi occupation in 1940.

A Long Way Home was turned into the movie Lion, which was nominated for 6 Academy Awards. This is the miraculous and triumphant story of Saroo Brierley, a young man who used Google Earth to rediscover his childhood life and home in an incredible journey from India to Australia and back again.

The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving is now the Neflix original film The Fundamentals of Caring starring Paul Rudd and Selena Gomez. This is the story of a man who lost everything and is starting over by taking a night class called The Fundamentals of Caregiving to learn how to take care of people with disabilities. When he starts to care for Trevor, a teenager who is in the advanced stages of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, the two develop a close friendship and end up taking a road trip together. By the end of that journey, Trevor has had his first taste of love, and Ben has found a new reason to love life.

Cold Mountain is the story of Inman, a Confederate soldier who walks across the South to get home to the Blue Ridge mountains and his love, Ada. His trek brings him into contact with slaves and marauders, bounty hunters and witches, both helpful and malign.
