Book & Movie Trailers!

If you haven't seen them already, check out these awesome book and movie trailers!

Catching Fire Book Trailer: I literally CAN NOT wait to read this...it's so exciting! If you haven't read The Hunger Games yet, you must! And ooh at 45 seconds in the video, (plus at the end), is that Peeta!? He sure is an attractive young feller.. :)




(In case you haven't read or heard of The Hunger Games - gasp! - here is a book trailer for it.)




The Lovely Bones Official Movie Trailer: I haven't read the book yet, but the reviews for it are fantastic. I must read it before seeing the movie. It looks intense! It will be out sometime in fall of 2009 this year. Awesome!




The Forest of Hands and Teeth Book Trailer: Make sure your volume is up! This trailer is eerie, and so is the book - only though I've only read the first few chapters. I've also heard that this one will probably become a movie, in 2011!





Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief Movie Trailer: I never read the series, but it's never too late to start, right? They are making it into a movie which will be coming out February 2010. I think it looks interesting! Plus...that guy isn't too shabby looking, eh? ;]




WELL I could go on and on with trailers, but I'll save them for another post! What do you think?? Any particular one you like? Any new movie you'll be interested in?

Waiting On Wednesday: As You Wish

This week's WoW book is As You Wish by Jackson Pearce! It will be released on August 25, 2009.

Description from Amazon:

Ever since Viola's boyfriend broke up with her, she has spent her days silently wishing—to have someone love her again and, more importantly, to belong again—until one day she inadvertently summons a young genie out of his world and into her own. He will remain until she makes three wishes.

Jinn is anxious to return home, but Viola is terrified of wishing, afraid she will not wish for the right thing, the thing that will make her truly happy. As the two spend time together, the lines between master and servant begin to blur, and soon Jinn can't deny that he's falling for Viola. But it's only after Viola makes her first wish that she realizes she's in love with Jinn as well . . . and that if she wishes twice more, he will disappear from her life—and her world—forever. Jackson Pearce spins a magical tale about star-crossed lovers, what it means to belong . . . and how important it is to be careful what you wish for.

Aww this book sounds so cute! I love the summary, and I'm excited for this one to be published. Even though I don't really care for the cover.. RELEASED ON AUGUST 25, 2009!

Hardcover vs. Paperback - The Wednesday Wars

I'm starting a new post called "Hardcover vs. Paperback" which is where you choose which cover you prefer. Leave a comment sharing your opinion! Plus, if the summary sounds interesting, you may just want to read it.

The Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt

Description from Amazon:

Holling Hoodhood is really in for it. He’s just started seventh grade with Mrs. Baker, a teacher he knows is out to get him. Why else would she make him read Shakespeare . . . outside of class? The year is 1967, and everyone has bigger things than homework to worry about. There’s Vietnam for one thing, and then there’s the family business. As far as Holling’s father is concerned, nothing is more important than the family business. In fact, all of the Hoodhoods must be on their best behavior at all times. The success of Hoodhood and Associates depends on it. But how can Holling stay out of trouble when he has Mrs. Baker to contend with?

These covers are completely different so this is a toughie. However, because of the summary, I'm gonna have to choose the hardcover. I think that it looks more interesting and fits the time period better. Even though the paperback is colorful and cutesy, I think it makes the book look too juvenile.

What do YOU think?
