Matched: upcoming movie

Hey look who's going to turn into a movie! That's right Matched was picked up by unfortunately Disney. Not that there is anything wrong with Disney but Percy Jackson. That's all I have to say. Here is the link. It better stop being compared to Twilight right now! There are love triangl…

Cover Love: Matched

This whole trilogy of book covers are so unique and so beautiful! It looks real too. It is a picture of a girl but of course she is not in a bubble well a glass bubble. Cassia is different then everyone else. She is more daring. She stands out more. She stood out at her Matching Banquet with the o…

Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson

Chains is one out of three of the Seeds of America trilogy so you can expect the story to go on more. Isabel lives in the time of the beginnings of revolution in America. It is 1776 so you know things are about to go down. She's just a lost little girl trying to take of her slow sister who eve…

Cover Love: Chains

I LOVE this cover! The illustrator who did it, Christopher Silas Neal, has done some other books as well including the next book of this trilogy which is Forge. He never shows the face of the characters he's doing. It's just not there or they are covered up. It's a really great book. …

Wolves, Boys, & Other Things that might Kill Me by Kristen Chandler

First of all I really like the first cover. That's what attracted to me to it. She looks really pale though like a vampire. The second one is pretty good but doesn't really do anything for me. I guess because it doesn't have a wolf in it and the girl...

No. This book doesn't have a…

Cover Love: Breadcrumbs

This book not only comes with this great cover but great illustrations inside as well. It's weird she looks much older inside then in the outside cover. There is also randomly if (maybe) you click the image there are three what looks like bugs in front of Hazel. I thought this was going to be f…

Cover Love: Edward's Eyes

I love this cover as you may already be aware of. It's just beautiful and makes you think. This book from just the look of the cover and the name it makes you think. I love how Jake is in the background (his older brother) because he is the narrator of the story and it's all about Edward a…

Rules by Cynthia Lord

Catherine's little brother is autistic. She has to have rules for him since he doesn't act like he's supposed to. Rules like Pantless brothers are not my problem or No toys in the fish tank hence the cover. As you can see there is a rubber ducky in the fish tank. There are other things …

Cover Love: The Extraordinary Secrets of April, May, & June

Such a cover love! So beautiful! I've got a bone to pick with the cover though. The story is about three sisters. April is the eldest, May the middle child, and June the youngest. June is where her name is. She looks older than May! She's supposed to be 12. I thought May would have a looked…

The Sea of Monsters: the movie

You read correctly. There will be a second movie. Why? Because it's not like it totally failed. You know why? Because people who really liked the book actually wanted to see it. Of course you ruined it for them! Ugh. I have no idea if I am going to watch this movie. Maybe I'll have a burst …
