Adaptations I’ve watched but haven’t read and have no intention of reading

Happy Friday, pals! Today I'm talking about some book-to-movie adaptations I've watched but haven't read, and am honestly not interested in reading.

Some mini reviews of movies I’ve watched recently

Happy Friday, everyone! Today I thought I'd do something a little different and post some movie reviews. I don’t think I’ve ever posted a movie review on this blog, other than when I compare a movie to the book.
