Just started Howl's Moving Castle. Liking it so far!

Not exactly like the movie, but it's pretty close.

I legitimately did not know there is a book. It’s my favorite movie so I might pick this up.

Yes the book was first, and adapted for the movie. It's a trilogy. They did a good job on the adaptation, though there are some differences, as there always are. I'm reading it through my Library on Libby.

A lot of Miyazaki's films are based on books! Kiki's Delivery Services is a book as well, and Secret Life of Arietty is based on The Borrowers.
