🎥 Have you ever watched the movie before reading the book?

Post by Venus Raissa »

Hi everyone!
I’m guilty of watching a few movies before reading the books they were based on. Sometimes it motivates me to read the book afterward, but I know some people prefer reading first.
Have you ever watched a movie first? Which one? Did it spoil the reading experience or make it better?

Omg! Yes!!! I watched the movie Darkest Minds before reading the book, but that was only because I didn't know it was based on a book 😊 Also the Divergence series.
It definitely made the experience better. However, I prefer reading the book first.
