There are dozens of bestselling novels being hyped online right now, and we don't even know where to begin.
Our TBR lists are already feeling a little overwhelming, but one thing that often helps us settle on a book is the movies.
We love reading a book before the film version comes out, and there's one that has shot to the top of our list.
The Housemaid by Freida McFadden has sold over five million copies worldwide and became a New York Times bestseller.
It will now hit the big screen in a movie starring Sydney Sweeney, and fans of the novel don't have long to wait.
If you've not yet read the book, then be sure to pick up a copy before the December 19th cinema release.
The Housemaid is currently on sale on Kindle for just €2.28, which costs less than our daily coffee.
This is the one book that has been heavily praised ever since its 2022 release, so we have high hopes.

'I try to ignore how Nina makes a mess just to watch me clean it up. How she tells strange lies about her own daughter. And how her husband Andrew, seems more broken every day. But as I look into Andrew’s handsome brown eyes, so full of pain, it’s hard not to imagine what it would be like to live Nina’s life. The walk-in closet, the fancy car, the perfect husband.
'I only try on one of Nina’s pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it’s like. But she soon finds out… and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it’s far too late.
'But I reassure myself: the Winchesters don’t know who I really am. They don’t know what I’m capable of…'
