    Plan a fun action movie night by choosing one of these exciting book club books that have been made into movies. You could plan to watch the movie together as a book club or watch the movie independently and get together with friends to chat about which one was better. Hint: We know it's always going to be the book!

    Book club night and the reading time it requires has always been my one solid "me time" strategy.

    As much as I love chatting about a good book with friends, sometimes it is fun to get together to watch a movie and just relax, too.

    Pop the popcorn, watch the movie, and have a blast complaining about all the ways the book did it better!

    Exciting Book Club Books Made Into Action Movies

    These fun sci-fi, fantasy, and mystery book club picks have been turned into action movies that would make for a fun book club movie night.

    American Gods by Neil Gaimon

    Perfect for lovers of mythology and American road tripping.

    Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

    This is the only book I have not yet read but it has been on my list for ages. My book club just announced it is our October pick and I can't wait to finally dig in. It came recommended highly by multiple sources I trust so here it belongs.

    Divergent by Veronica Roth

    I hesitated to add this pick just because I hated the third in the trilogy SO MUCH. But I loved the first two as strongly as I hated the third so there we go.

    The Maze Runner by James Dashner

    This was a page-turning thriller for me. Also part of a series. The first couple were fantastic but it definitely did not end strongly. Bummer, but still worth reading and I'll be first in line to see the movie.

    Before I Go To Sleep by S. J. Watson

    Creepy and intriguing thriller. I don't do "scary" well, this was right up my alley!

    The Host by Stephanie Meyer

    This young adult novel kept me distracted from morning sickness when I was pregnant. It has now been made into a movie.
