Join me on my journey
I’m a 25-year-old book lover, completely obsessed with reading. In 2024, I set out to find a reading community to expand my horizons. By October, I joined a book club and realized how much I love discussing books, sharing thoughts, and uncovering the lessons they teach us about the world and ourselves. If I’m not reading, I’m thinking about books or adding more to my never-ending TBR list. So, here we are, finally starting a book blog to share my thoughts, discoveries, and everything I’ve learned from the books I love. Welcome to In Novel Company!

Author Spotlight
Author Spotlight – Kennedy Ryan
This month’s Author Spotlight shines on the brilliant Kennedy Ryan, a powerhouse in contemporary romance known for weaving deep emotion with unflinching social commentary. Her stories don’t just entertain; they challenge, educate, and stay with you long after the last page. If you’re looking for romance that’s as thought-provoking as it is heartfelt, her books are essential reading.
Book Adaptations
Book vs Screen – To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before
To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before is one of those rare adaptations that really gets it right. The book is deeper and messier, while the movie leans into the dreamy rom-com vibe, focusing on Lara Jean and Peter’s romance and polishing the story for the screen. Both shine in different ways, but how do they really compare? Read on to find out how they weigh up against each other!
Book vs Play – The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives
When I discovered The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives was being revived in the theatre I just knew I had to be there! While it was an entertaining and exciting depiction of Lola Shoneyin’s deeply powerful story, it left a lot to de desired. It fell flat as an adaptation for me and here’s why!
Book vs Screen – The Hunger Games
The Hunger Games is a well known and well loved book to screen adaptation. In this deep dive I will be comparing the original book to its film adaptation. I explore what the movie got right, what it missed, and how both versions handle the story’s powerful themes of resistance, media manipulation, and survival.
