Netflix is appealing to book lovers with a new hub on its website spotlighting literary adaptations.
The streaming service has added a page titled “Watch Your Favorite Books,” the company announced Tuesday. “Whether your reading list skews cult classic, beloved saga or beach read, there are endless adaptations on Netflix ready to take you from page to screen,” it said.
The hub features nine different sections catered to different types of readers. The “You Crave Amazing Characters” channel spotlights the film adaptations of Shelby Van Pelt’s Remarkably Bright Creatures, Colleen Hoover’s It Ends With Us, and W.P. Kinsella’s Field of Dreams, while the “You Love a Great Plot Twist” section includes series adaptations of Jay Asher’s Thirteen Reasons Why, May Cobb’s The Hunting Wives, and Holly Jackson’s A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder.
Other categories include “You’re Into Immersive World-Building,” “You're a Nonfiction Fanatic,” “You’re a History and Period Piece Buff,” and “You Adore All-Ages Adventures.”
Mansi Patel, Netflix’s senior director of product merchandising, said in a statement, “We’ve seen a real passion from fans around Netflix’s library of book adaptations. Our team looked to celebrate that fandom by creating a destination on Netflix for enthusiasts to explore their favorites and find more stories they’ll love.”
