Every year around this time we begin to see new shows being released on TV and Streaming Channels. Many of these are based on books that I have read and enjoyed so I wanted to give shout out for a few of these new releases so you can enjoy them whether you have read them or not!

The Power (Amazon Prime) March 31, 2023

This 2016 book by Naomi Alderman was a huge hit and I expect that this ten part series starring Tony Collette and John Leguizamo, about teen age girls who suddenly develop the ability to release electricity through their fingers thus disrupting the balance of power between men and women should be a fantastic series.

Daisy Jones & the Six (Amazon Prime) March 3, 2023

Taylor Jenkins Reid’s 2019 book about a 1970’s band’s rise and fall became a best selling phenomenon. Loosely based on  the history of Fleetwood Mac, the story is both a love story and a cautionary tale of ambition, drug addiction and the difficulties of keep a disparate group of artists believing that they are better off together than apart.

All the Light That We Cannot See  (Netflix) Sometime in 2023

The wonderful book by Anthony Doer has been adapted into a four part mini series starring Hugh Laurie, Marc Ruffalo and newcomer Aria Mia Loberti, who like the character in the book is blind. Set in Paris during the occupation by the Nazis in WWII, it is a story about the power of truth and love in the midst of hatred and despair.

The Last Thing He Told Me (Apple TV) April 14, 2023

Jennifer Garner stars and serves as Executive Producer for this movie adaptation of the best selling book by Laura Dave. A wife and her step daughter must pick up the pieces when their husband and father disappears. I expect this will be a nail biter, just like the book!

I hope you will enjoy these new releases, and maybe it will encourage you to pick one of these books to read as well!

Enjoy!
