From new takes on beloved classics and not one but two Jane Austen book adaptations, this year's slate of book-to-screen selection is full of exciting releases.
Here is a list of the books they are based on so you can read before you watch, or return to the source material after you've become obsessed.
Out in cinemas in January

H is for Hawk is an unflinchingly honest account of Macdonald's struggle with grief during the difficult process of the hawk's taming and her own untaming. This is a book about memory, nature and nation, and how it might be possible to reconcile death with life and love.
Fall in love again and again in February

The adaptation featuring a list of starry names including Emma Corrin, Nicholas Galitzine, Maika Monroe, Charli XCX and more arrives in cinemas on 6 February .
Perhaps the buzziest adaptation of the year so far, Emerald Fennell's take on the beloved Emily Brontë novel is sure to be divisive but unforgettable.
