Did you all watch the Oscars the other night or take an interest in who/ what won? Quite a few of the films which were up for nomination in various categories this year have been adapted from books (rather than original screenplays). The Library at NC have several of these books on their shelves, including 12 Years A Slave and The Wolf of Wall Street. We also have plenty of other titles which over the years have been adapted into films. There are all of the Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Twilight and Lord of the Rings series, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, The Silence of the Lambs, Pride and Prejudice, Oliver Twist, 1984, Death of A Salesman and many more. If you've seen the film and think you'd like to read the book, why not pop into one of the Library Centres and ask if we've got it. The 'blurb' books on the side of the blog are also titles which have been adapted and which we hold in the Library.
Don't forget tomorrow (6th March) is World Book Day. Come and celebrate with us or do your own thing to mark the occassion. Happy reading...
