I've been pretty excited for the movie adaptation of Me and Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews since it debuted to universally positive reviews at the Sundance Fim Festival this year. It won both the Audience Award and the Grand Jury Prize, which are the two big awards at Sundance. The first trailer just hit. You can watch it here (warning: There's a little colorful language). The buzz is that it will be the next The Fault in Our Stars, and the book commonly came up as a TFiOS read-alike. You can beat the rush and read the book (or eBook) now!

Brian works as the Senior Adult Services Librarian at the Iowa City Public Library.
Hell or High Water was my favorite movie of 2016. Despite having a bland, studio-dictated title (the working title was far better--Comancheria), Hell or High Water was a tightly written, modern western, and it made me an immediate fan of its screen writer Taylor Sheridan. Wind River is his next film--he wrote and directed it--and it further solidified me as a fan of his. -Brian
