11 books you need to read in 2017 before their TV adaptations air
Because the book is almost always better...
11. His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman
With 2016 drawing to a close and no cast yet announced it's looking rather likely that the BBC's adaptation of His Dark Materials could take a while to make it to our TV screens but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Because that means you'll have plenty of time to sit down and read Northern Lights, The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass before they're adapted for the screen again.
And who could say no to an excuse to read about the wonderful Lyra, her daemon Pantalaimon, and their magical journeys through worlds to discover the secrets of dust and take on the might of the Magisterium.
Let's just forget 'The Golden Compass' EVER happened, shall we?
