Music That Reminds Me Of...Your Turn!

Remember a billion years ago when I started posting music that reminds me of certain books? I've been thinking about bringing it back but I haven't really heard any music that screams to me about a book. I want to know if you guys would be interested in bringing it back? I heard this song the other day and I thought it could sound like it fits a lot of books but I want to know what you guys think of when you hear this song. Any certain book come to mind?



Once burned, twice shunned
Too much of your line made me blind.
I'd wait all night
But you left one too many times.

I want to change my orbit
Don't care what you do now.
I want to live in darkness
Don't want to be spun around.

You go down, down, down
I fall out of love with you.
Come back round, round, round
You sun of a gun.

You go down, down, down.
This time I won't save you
When you drown, drown, drown
You sun of a gun.
You sun of a gun.

Birds sing for you,
You can make the blue sky blush
You've got them all fooled
But I am burned out on this rush.

I want to change my orbit
Don't care what you do now.
I want to live in darkness
Don't want to be spun around.

You go down, down, down
I fall out of love with you.
Come back round, round, round
You sun of a gun.

You go low, low, low.
This time I won't save you
When you go, go, go
You sun of a gun.
You sun of a gun.

Red sky creepin'
Disappearing
Bye-bye feeling
Heart you're stealing

You go down, down, down
I fall out of love with you.
Come back round, round, round
You sun of a gun.

You go down, down, down.
This time I won't save you
When you drown, drown, drown
You sun of a gun.
You sun of a gun.
You sun of a gun.

Elizabeth Scott's New Book!

While her latest book, Between Here and Forever, isn't even out on the shelves the cover for her newest book has just been released! Honestly I don't know what I think about it right now. It is incredibly different from her other covers and it doesn't seem to fit the summary. When I look at the cover the red and the smoke make me think about hell so I thought maybe she was trying her hand at a fantasy, but she's not. Anyway, I want to know what you guys think about the cover!


What if you woke up and didn't know where you were?

What if you didn't know who you were?

And what if, when your memories started to come back--what if they didn't match the you that you're supposed to be?

When I read the summary I thought it might be about a girl who was in a coma, woke up and couldn't remember her life. In Between Here and Forever the main character's sister, Tess, is in a coma...Do you think these books are like cross-overs?

The release date is due for September 15, 2011.

Inheritance

I have never read this series but I know there is a pretty big following surrounding these books so I thought some of my readers would like to hear this! It was just announced the fourth book in this series will be titled "Inheritance" and has a release date of November 11, 2011. The cover art has also been released and I like it! I think it fits the other books perfectly but I like the colors of this one better.


The author also had something to say about this:
"The burning questions asked by fans around the world will finally be answered in this last installment,” said Christopher Paolini. “All will be revealed!”

Hello Katniss!

So, it's official, or at least The Wrap says it is, Jennifer Lawrence is playing the part of Katniss in the new Hunger Games movies. I must say that I am super happy about this because she was amazing in Winter's Bone, which was such a gritty role to play so I think she'll handle playing Katniss very well. If you doubt her for the role then I think you should watch this movie.




There are several rumored roles for Peeta, including Alex Pettyfer (hot, but he isn't an amazing actor and he should leave the book adaptations alone for awhile), John Hutcherson (I haven't really seen him in anything recent so I can't form an opinion about him, but he's got the body for him), and Hunter Parrish (I've never seen Weeds so I can't for an opinion on him either.)

I haven't heard much about who is in the running to play Gale.

What do y'all think about this?

Dying to Read This!

A modern-day thriller about Rory, an American high-school student who enrolls at a London boarding school for her junior year. Soon after her arrival, a series of murders begins to take place across the city—on the exact dates and in the exact style of Jack the Ripper. Rory’s ties to the killer bring her in contact with a secret paranormal branch of the British police, as they attempt to stop the mysterious killer.

I read about Maureen Johnson's new book the other day and now I'm obsessed with it. I think it sounds super awesome...and original! I've always been interested by Jack the Ripper so the fact that Maureen is actually writing a book about it is something I find friggin' cool. I can't wait until Septemeber to get it...hello, birthday present!

And isn't the cover to die for?

Why Am I Not Rich?

Warner Bros will open its “The Making of Harry Potter” walking tour at Leavesden, England, the production base of the Harry Potter films, in spring next year. The three-hour-long tour will give fans the chance to see sets, costumes, props and effects used in all 8 Harry Potter movies. Tickets go on sale later this year. Potter fans will be able to walk onto sets including headmaster Dumbledore’s office and the 120ft long Great Hall featuring “the tables and benches used in the films”. The studio tour, first announced last November, is part of Warner Bros’ $161M refit of Leavesden, which is set to be one of the largest studio production facilities in Europe when it opens.

I want to go so badly it's ridiculous...except I'd need like a billion dollars. How awesome would it be to tour the set where the movies were made? I mean, who wouldn't want to walk around Dumbledore's office?

Another Cover Release

Today Kami and Margi released the cover for their third book, Beautiful Chaos, the third book in the Caster Chronicles series. The book has no description as of yet but it's release date is set for October 18th.


I'm loving it. I wasn't too happy with the cover for Beautiful Darkness but I think this one made up for it. What do y'all think?

Laura Wiess' New Cover!

I went on Facebook this morning and this beauty was awaiting. It is very different from her other covers but I really like it. It sort of has a Gayle Forman vibe to it.


What do y'all think?

Breathless

I just saw the cover for Kimberly Derting's new book The Pledge and I almost died from the gorgeousness. I am so happy for Kimberly because she is such a nice person and deserves to have a cover that matches what is sure to be an awesome book.


A romantic sci-fi novel set in a dystopic, war-torn world, in which a teenage girl realizes that she may be the key to saving her country.

Doesn't it sound amazing???
