From print to the big screen, here are 11 books that were turned into TV shows and movies this year

This Netflix fantasy adventure was originally a six-book series written by Soman Chainani. "The School for Good and Evil" brings to life Chainani's 2013 book of the same name. The film was released on October 18 and stars newcomers Sophia Anne Caruso (Sophie) and Sofie Wylie (Agatha), alongside Charlize Theron, Kerry Washington, and Michelle Yeoh.

In "The School for Good and Evil," two best friends Sophie and Agatha are chosen to attend an enchanted school where young people are trained to be heroes and villains in fairytales.

Author Jenny Han is no stranger to a successful book-to-film adaptation. The author of Netflix's 2018 film "To All the Boys I've Loved Before" now has a hit television show to her name with Amazon Prime's June release, "The Summer I Turned Pretty."

Starring Lola Tung (Belly), Gavin Casalegno (Jeremiah), and Christopher Briney (Conrad), the book trilogy that debuted in 2009 follows the main character Belly as she stands in the center of a love triangle involving brothers Jeremiah and Conrad. "The Summer I Turned Pretty" made a splash on social media, with TikTokers discussing the soundtrack, which featured songs by Taylor Swift, and their "ship" preferences.

The series was renewed by Amazon Prime for season two which will follow Han's second book in the series, "It's Not Summer Without You."

The heart-wrenching 2019 memoir "From Scratch," by Tembi Locke was adapted into a Netflix mini-series in October. The film was produced by Reese Witherspoon's company Hello Sunshine.

Like its series predecessor "Game of Thrones," "House of the Dragon" is based on a fantasy book by George R. R. Martin. "House of the Dragon" is a prequel to the ten-season hit "Game of Thrones."

Martin's 2018 novel "Fire & Blood" covers the history of the Targaryen family. The television series focuses on the Targaryen civil war as King Viserys I Targaryen's children compete for the throne.

"House of the Dragon" takes place nearly 200 years prior to the events in "Game of Thrones" and shows how the Targaryen bloodline rose to power.

Earlier this year, the classic 1937 novel "Death on the Nile" by Agatha Christie was made into a movie with a star-studded cast. Starring and directed by Kenneth Branagh, the story follows detective Hercule Poirot (Branagh) as he investigates who committed a murder on board a luxurious 1930s river steamer en route to Egypt.

"Death on the Nile" faced many setbacks prior to its release.

In 2021, Armie Hammer, one of the film's stars, was accused of sexual assault and sending messages that contained fantasies about drinking blood and acts of cannibalism. As a result, the actor was essentially scrubbed from the marketing materials to promote the film.

The COVID-19 pandemic also affected the film's release. According to Variety, "Death on the Nile" faced six release date changes but eventually was released in February.

2022's "Death on the Nile" cast also includes Gal Gadot as Linnet, Annette Bening as Euphemia, Letitia Wright as Rosalie, and Emma Mackey as Jacqueline. The film is available to stream on HBO Max.

Delia Owens' 2018 novel "Where the Crawdads Sing" is a murder mystery that caught the attention of Reese Witherspoon's book club after its release. Witherspoon's production company Hello Sunshine would go on to adapt the book into a Netflix production, which was released in July.

The film stars Daisy Edgar-Jones as Kya, a North Carolina native who was abandoned at a young age. As she grows up in the marshlands of the South, she gets to know two boys from town. When one of them is suddenly found dead, Kya becomes the main suspect.

Both the film and the book follow the tangled investigation, and as the truth is revealed, Kya is at the center of it all.

"Where the Crawdads Sing" is available to stream on Netflix.

The novel "Blonde" is a fictionalized account of Marilyn Monroe and her rise in Hollywood that was released in 1999. Author Joyce Carol Oates places herself in Monroe's shoes to tell an imagined tale of her mindset as the world's most well-known sex symbol. "Blonde" is the heartbreaking, dramatic tale of Monroe's rise to fame and the tragedy of her life.

In writer-director Andrew Dominik's film of the same name, Ana de Armas transforms into Monroe. De Armas has been transparent about the journey of playing such an iconic figure, especially as a Cuban American actress. "And it was a big risk, because I knew, 'Oh, my gosh, if I don't get this one right, this is over.' I'll be raising cows and chickens in the countryside. I'll be doing something else. I will never work again," she told Eddie Redmayne about the film for Variety's "Actors on Actors" series.

The film was released in September and is available to stream on Netflix.
