If you loved this show...

You may love this book!

We've had a few discussions concerning various aspects of book-to-screen adaptations. However, an article from The Guardian puts a different twist on that: books to read if you loved a certain show. Or as the blurb says: 

Want to watch less and read more this summer? Let your favourite series be a guide to clever, funny, moving titles you won’t be able to put down

Are any of your fave shows on this list? Does the recommended book appeal to you?

None of the recommended books really appealed to me because they didn't seem to capture what I liked about the shows in the first place. Also not sure about recommending a feminist book to The Boys fans, even if it involves superheroes.

In general, I think "if you like this, you'll love that" articles are difficult because they often focus on one element of a show, which may not be what others liked about them. I think you need multiple recommendations.
