Free Teen Event with Bookmarks Recap (Megan Shepherd & Kiera Cass)

So the other day I attended an AWESOME event with Megan Shepherd (author of Madman's Daughter). Unfortunately Kiera Cass (author of The Selection Trilogy), was also supposed to be present, but unfortunately was ill and thanks to the snow, caught in i think Virginia?

After I hid my copies of The Selection and The Elite in the bottom of my bag, realizing that I didn't follow the host's tweets to know she wasn't coming, and being somewhat embarrassed, I grabbed my self the sequel to The Madman's Daughter, Her Dark Curiosity.
I'd been needing it on my shelf and to make up for Kiera Cass' absent self, I spent the full price to buy the book, and got myself some pretty swag bookmarks and tea! THERE IS TEA FOR EACH OF THE BOOKS!!!!!!!





After delightfully acting like an idiot in front of the Bookmarks volunteers and spending $17 + tax on my new copy of Her Dark Curiosity (with deckled edges may i add!) I took my seat and looked for my notebook with all my questions in it. Guess what...IT WENT MISSING. Actually I just left it at home by accident but I re-wrote down as many questions I could remember which was only one and when they opened to the audience for questions I asked: 'How do you get over writer's block?' and you know what happened? She laughed. She laughed and told me that "when I (me) figure it out, call me (Megan). Yeah, stupid question I know. But she ended up giving real good advice. Like to at least get over it short term, don't write for about a week, don't read anything either, just watch TV or Movies or something. Do not engage in anything that has to do with literature. It stunts the gap that is slowly leaking writer's block. Leave it open.

Anyway, if you hadn't heard already, The Madman's Daughter has been approved for a movie deal. A script has been written and an actress has been signed on to play Juliette (Main Protagonist). All I can say is that she is known and I have a strong feeling it is going to be Hailee Steinfield. I don't know for sure, but I can just see it.
Second, I KNOW A SECRET THAT YOU PROBABLY DON'T KNOW!!!! I know what the 3rd book's title is! Na na na boo boo!
Okay, wow that was childish. But I do, and I can't tell, because I don't want to get Megan in trouble.
But trust me, it is a great name and it's based off Frankenstein.

 

I thought this would fit! ;-) 

So here are some pics of the evening.

Movie vs. Book DIVERGENT (5 STARS)

March 21st was the release of the Divergent Movie. Now some theatres were playing earlier showings on the 20th already but a good number still went on the 21st. Now if you were like me, you may have dressed up. I dressed up as Abnegation in a long skirt, brown boots, and a long sleeve grey shirt. I was totally pumped with my hidden chocolate bars and overly priced $7 Reusable Divergent cup. I mean, it had Four on it...What was I supposed to do?


Anyway, so I finally get back from the retard who was near refusing to honor my Free Popcorn with Sign up discount and I was like don't mess with me brotha. So the previews are flying by and suddenly I see the trailer for The Giver (Check recent Posts) and I'm like...



And then I see The Maze Runner trailer (Check recent posts) and all that *points up* turns into this...


Seeing the Maze Runner trailer a fifth time is even more incredible because you get to study it! The Grievers look amazingly sc-fi-ish. Minho is EXACTLY the way I imagined him and man Dylan O'Brien.....man o' man. Hehe, he just keeps getting better and better. 
Then The lights go down...and the previews end and then this huge thing comes on the screen


AND WE ALL FREAK OUT! Okay, I was just freaking out grabbing my friend's arm,
cutting off all her circulation. 
This is where the Movie vs. Book will begin. I'll try to give my honest opinion on scenes. 
I'll also try to list the differences. 

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE MOVIE AND THE BOOK

I'll try to be vague for those who haven't read the book....better yet, don't read this if you haven't read the book because I tend to have difficulties being vague when discussing bookish things. But I do believe the movie is still amazing with all the differences. Four is a serious hunk...just a saying. Everytime I saw him I just kept thinking...England...i will find a Theo James in England. 

DIFFERENCES:
  1. They skip some of the scenes during Tris's aptitude test. The only scene they show is the one with the dog and little girl. 
  2. The Factionless man who steals Tris's carrots on the way home from school, he does not appear. 
  3. Tris and Caleb do have the discussion about their aptitude tests but not technically where it's supposed to be. 
  4. I could be wrong...but I don't remember Tris seeing Peter bullying other Abnegation kids before the ceremony. 
  5. Since when was Four so humorous? I only remember he being funny once or twice in Divergent but a lot more in Insurgent. He had the entire theatre gagging on spit. 
  6. Tris does not hang over the edge with Christina. 
  7. They screw around a lot with both Tris and Four's fears. 
  8. Edward does NOT get stabbed in the eye. 
  9. Peter does not violate Tris in any way (Attack/ with Molly and Drew)
  10. Peter is not like Peter in the book. He's too soft. 
  11. Uriah and Zeke were not present, neither was Drew.
  12. Four does not get drunk by the chasm and tells Tris 'she looks good'. 
  13. Four does not turn off the simulation, Jeanine does. 
  14. Jeanine and other Erudite are in the room with Four while he is under the Simulation and Tris makes Jeanine erase the file, which leads into Tris not having to protect the chip which leads into events in Insurgent. 
  15. There is not parent day. They replaced that scene with Tris being pulled aside by her mother during the distribution of food or supplies to all the factions. 
  16. Jeanine did not visit Dauntless and see Tris's tattoos. 
  17. Four does not call out Peter on trying to kil Tris
  18. Eric doesn't bring Tris in from when she visited Caleb
  19. Jeanine didn't ever see Tris's fears
I know I'm probably missing a few other things, if you have anything to add please leave a comment below. 

SIMILARITIES: 

I'll try to give just the basics since there are still a lot of similarities. Divergent is a long, intricate novel, with a lot of detail and scenes. It can't all be fit into a movie, but here is what was left alone. 

  1. Tory administered the Aptitude test
  2. Tris is the first jumper and Four does pull her out. 
  3. Four does walk away during the fights
  4. Christina does have to hang off the edge
  5. Christina does discuss moths
  6. Tris visits Caleb
  7. Tris does get attacked by Peter and Al
  8. Al does jump
  9. Natalie and Andrew and Will do die.
  10. Four and Tris do climb the ferris wheel
  11. Tris's fears are for the most part the same
  12. Four does administer the other tests
  13. Tris does get clipped by the knife when Four throws knives at her instead of Will
The movie was AMAZING and I loved it! Please still go see it. It's PERFECT! I can't wait for Insurgent which has been green lighted for production!

My Interview with Author Lindsay Cummings


My Interview with Lindsay Cummings Author of The Murder Complex


{Publication Date: 6/10/2014 by Greenwillow Books}
{400 Pages} 
{Author: Lindsay Cummings}


Meadow Woodson, a fifteen-year-old girl who has been trained by her father to fight, to kill, and to survive in any situation, lives with her family on a houseboat in Florida. The state is controlled by The Murder Complex, an organization that tracks the population with precision.

The plot starts to thicken when Meadow meets Zephyr James, who is—although he doesn’t know it—one of the MC’s programmed assassins. Is their meeting a coincidence? Destiny? Or part of a terrifying strategy? And will Zephyr keep Meadow from discovering the haunting truth about her family?



1) What was the inspiration behind "The Murder Complex"?  

I saw a news story about a town plagued with murders…I really wanted to know MORE about it! So I put my own scifi twist on the story!


2) As a new and upcoming author, what advice can you give to other aspiring writers out there? 
Definitely read and write every day. Writing is a muscle, and if you don’t work it out, you won’t grow! Always stay positive, and have others read your work and give you feedback.

3) Why did you choose to start writing and when did you realize that you had an interest in becoming an author? 
I was sick the summer I graduated high school. I had tons of surgeries, and I didn’t know what to do with my life. I had to drop out of college, and when I realized that writing made me happy…I decided that MAYBE I could turn it into a career!

4) What are your biggest must haves while writing? 
Usually iced tea, and a snack. I also have to be alone!

5) What have you found to be one of your biggest struggles while writing?
Self doubt. I think every writer struggles with this. Over time, you just have to learn that it’s okay to write bad first drafts!

6) What is your favorite YA novel? If not YA, what genre? 
I love THG, Legend, Harry Potter, Delirium, Divergent, Under the Never Sky….wow, way too many. 

7) Best Advice ever given to you? 

Lauren Oliver said, “If writing is all you have, then writing is all you need!”

8) Who are some of your role models? (Family, friends, author, etc.)

The published authors that, no matter their successes, treats others like equals. I think that’s really something wonderful. I also LOVE Jennifer Lawrence. Like….a ton.

9) Some authors have said that 'when they began writing, they just knew that this was what they wanted to write about, and that their characters were the right characters'. How did you come to know that you wanted to write from 'Meadow's' perspective, and basically want to write this genre?
For The Murder Complex, I knew from the second I started writing. I don’t know why, it just clicked! Since then, other things I’ve worked on have been much, much harder. Sometimes it flows. Other times, you have to really work for it! I can’t explain why! :0

10) Have you found anything from your daily life transferring into your writing?
My weapons collection.

Posting on Instagram, the Blog's Twitter account, and on occassion Pinterest and Tumblr.

The Maze Runner Trailer & Poster Reveal

If you missed it, during the Monday night episode of Teen Wolf  the Maze Runner Trailer was released. Let me say, it is one of the best trailers I have EVER seen! Just where Thomas is running through closing walls...and every one's faces when Theresa calls out Thomas's name. It's like the new Lord of the Flies. The musical score is just the beat and tempo the movie needed. My mom ended up sitting down with me to watch it and lets just say she doesn't really read YA books....and her jaw was hanging open at the end. She slowly turned and all she said was...

"You have this book?"
"Of course..."
"I'm borrowing it." 

AHHH It's perfect! Well, watch it for yourself. Feel free to leave your reactions in comments below.





If you have not read the Maze Runner yet you have time before the movie releases in September.


6186357

"If you ain't scared, you ain't human." 

When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his name. He's surrounded by strangers--boys whose memories are also gone.

Outside the towering stone walls that surround the Glade is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It's the only way out--and no one's ever made it through alive.

Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying.

Praise for the Maze Runner series:

"[A] nail-biting must-read." --Seventeen.com
"Wonderful action writing--fast-paced...but smart and well observed." --"Newsday"
"Breathless, cinematic action." --"Publishers Weekly"
"Heart-pounding to the very last moment." --"Kirkus Reviews"
"Exclamation-worthy." --"Romantic Times"
"Gripping reading." --"Booklist"

Read the first book in the "New York Times" bestselling Maze Runner series, perfect for fans of "The Hunger Games" and "Divergent." "The Maze Runner" motion picture starring Dylan O'Brien, Kaya Scodelario, Thomas Brodie Sangster, Will Poulter, and Aml Ameen hits theaters September 19, 2014!



Now if it isn't about time to show you the movie poster that was released as well the other day... low and behold...the maze walls....


    Doesn't it looks AMAZING!  I love how you can see the skyline behind the wall 
    and most of the maze.They really did a good job of making the walls look 
    dystopian and intimidating. I really can't wait bothering the movie theatres near me for
    a poster because you know...who wouldn't want a maze with a pea sized Dylan O'Brien running
    into it hanging on their bedroom wall? I wouldn't mind whatsoever.

Panic Release!

It's finally here everyone! Panic has finally arrived in stores-- all ready to get into your hands. If you haven't seen or heard of Panic than go sit in the corner! -- Okay, no you don't have to do that, just read about it below.

So Panic is a YA stand-alone novel by Lauren Oliver, author of the Delirium Series and Liesel and Po.
Panic is a test of bravery and the result of a Summer gone wrong. Panic takes place each Summer in Carp, a dead end town (which I figured out was in New York, since it never was clear). Anyway, Lauren Oliver is supposedly going to take a break from the Young Adult (YA) genre for awhile so this constitutes as her last YA novel (at least for a while). Remember to read the summary of Panic below and head to your prefered book seller and grab this read. Also, check out our book review by clicking the link below.






17565845

{Published March 4th 2014 by Harper Collins}
{416 Pages}
(AUTHOR: Lauren Oliver}

Panic began as so many things do in Carp, a dead-end town of 12,000 people in the middle of nowhere: because it was summer, and there was nothing else to do.

Heather never thought she would compete in Panic, a legendary game played by graduating seniors, where the stakes are high and the payoff is even higher. She’d never thought of herself as fearless, the kind of person who would fight to stand out. But when she finds something, and someone, to fight for, she will discover that she is braver than she ever thought.

Dodge has never been afraid of Panic. His secret will fuel him, and get him all the way through the game, he’s sure of it. But what he doesn't know is that he’s not the only one with a secret. Everyone has something to play for.

For Heather and Dodge, the game will bring new alliances, unexpected revelations, and the possibility of first love for each of them—and the knowledge that sometimes the very things we fear are those we need the most.

Kira, Samm, and Marcus fight to prevent a final war between Partials and humans in the gripping final installment in the Partials Sequence, a series that combines the thrilling action of The Hunger Games with the provocative themes of Blade Runner and The Stand.

There is no avoiding it—the war to decide the fate of both humans and Partials is at hand. Both sides hold in their possession a weapon that could destroy the other, and Kira Walker has precious little time to prevent that from happening. She has one chance to save both species and the world with them, but it will only come at great personal cost.

{Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi}

Aria has lived her whole life in the protected dome of Reverie. Her entire world confined to its spaces, she's never thought to dream of what lies beyond its doors. So when her mother goes missing, Aria knows her chances of surviving in the outer wasteland long enough to find her are slim.

Then Aria meets an outsider named Perry. He's searching for someone too. He's also wild - a savage - but might be her best hope at staying alive.

If they can survive, they are each other's best hope for finding answers.

{Article 5 by Kristen Simmons}

New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., have been abandoned.

The Bill of Rights has been revoked, and replaced with the Moral Statutes.

There are no more police—instead, there are soldiers. There are no more fines for bad behavior—instead, there are arrests, trials, and maybe worse. People who get arrested usually don't come back.

Seventeen-year-old Ember Miller is old enough to remember that things weren't always this way. Living with her rebellious single mother, it's hard for her to forget that people weren't always arrested for reading the wrong books or staying out after dark. It's hard to forget that life in the United States used to be different.

Ember has perfected the art of keeping a low profile. She knows how to get the things she needs, like food stamps and hand-me-down clothes, and how to pass the random home inspections by the military. Her life is as close to peaceful as circumstances allow.

That is, until her mother is arrested for noncompliance with Article 5 of the Moral Statutes. And one of the arresting officers is none other than Chase Jennings—the only boy Ember has ever loved.
