Okay, so over the weekend I went to watch Catching Fire and I am absolutely besotted with this series, with the books and the films (so far) (Despite the face the first film sucked ass). Book two – Catching Fire obvs – is my favourite of the series. To see it on screen, oh god, although knowing what was coming, it was still so stressful to watch and seeing the fog and the monkeys and that ending…holy crap, i was crying. SERIOUSLY though, get your ass to a cinema and watch it now!!
I love the soundtrack to both films, but I think this song is the one for me. The one that I had on repeat for weeks and now the second film is out, I have become obsessed with it yet again.
THIS is what I have been waiting for for months and THIS was revealed last night. AAAHHHH! How much do you wish it was November now that you have seen this trailer? YAY! More Peeta ❤ This is my favourite book out of the series and from this trailer, it looks like its going to be a bloody good one!
Jessie J – Domino
When I read The Hunger Game’s Trilogy, this song seemed to always be playing on the radio. Then i would listen to it constantly on my Ipod and it would also always place in work when i was on my break and reading the books. The lyrics kind of ‘suit the books too. For example “Take me down like I’m a Domino.” Yeaah, that kind of reminds me of the arena and the tributes being killed and going down ‘like dominoes’. Oh gosh, I’m so morbid with this song. BUT i know it has NOTHING to do with what happens in THG, but it’s due to the fact it was always playing when i was reading them.
MADversary – Jade C. Jamison
So there are three songs that remind me of MADVersary.
1)The first time they have sex – John Mayer – Your Body Is A Wonderland.
Tots approps as Megan kept going on about Tyler’s physique and how muscular it now is.
2)Blue – If You Come Back
When Megan leaves after having sex the first time and misses the second morning get-together and Tyler asks Lisa if he’s done anything wrong to Megan.
3)Robert Miles – Children:
The time they have sex in the locker room. This song plus that scene was pretty intense to me.
So my favourite series. That’s quite hard because there are sooo many series that I love, so because of that, I’m going to post the ones that I love reading and can’t wait for the next book to be out. If you click on the series, then it will link you to each one of my reviews on that book.
Sinners On Tour – Olivia Cunning
We all need those super hot, badboys of rock in our lives in the form of Brian, Trey, Eric, Jace and Sed.
For those of you who have yet to fall in love with these boys, here are my reviews to the books.
1.Backstage Pass – Brian
2. Rock Hard – Sed
3. Hot Ticket – Jace
4. Wicked Beat – Eric (This book is not out yet. If you click on this, it will take you to Amazon UK where you can pre-order it)
5. Double Time – Trey
The books were put out, out of order, with Trey’s book being number 3 and Jace’s number 4, as the publishers felt Trey’s book would sell more than Jace’s but if you are yet to read any, i would definitely wait until Eric’s book is out then read it in this order. You will completely love every book and every Sinner’s guy.
Ryan and Taryn are so great together. Ryan is a hot shot actor who hates the paperazzi and hates being the centre of attention. He loves acting but would rather not be constantly hounded which is how to met Taryn when he ran into her pub to get away from the cameras. That is when the story truly begins.
Love Unguarded will be about Ryan’s bodyguard Mike and Taryn’s best friend/bodyguard Marie and their relationship.
So I haven’t written a review for these books but when I read them in my third year of university when I was meant to be doing my dissertation, I was hooked and couldn’t put them down. I love this series so much!
Peeta is my bread boy! HELL YEAHS!
So I just realized most of my favourite series involve bad boys and sex. (Apart from The Hunger Games and Love series). I think someone *points to self* has a major problem.
So whenever Hollywood decides to take my favourite book and turn it into a movie, I have to say I get excited about it. But I also feel apprehensive over it too. Many filmmakers turn the books into something great, others…not so much.
One film I absolutely hated was P.S I Love You. I adored the book, I read it over and over and when I found out they were making a film, well of course, I had to go see it. But it was a let down. The whole setting had changed from being set in Ireland to NYC. Holly now had a sister, instead of a lots of siblings and I just didn’t like it at all. I know that things in the book have to change in order to try to stay try to the book, and some parts have to be cut from the book, but in my opinion, I really didn’t like it and whenever it’s on TV, i always skip it because it frustrates me. Yes, I know, Gerard Butler is in it, but still.
But I’m not here to diss the films adaptions, oh no, I’m here to post the films I am most excited about that are out this year.
So without further ado, I present the ones I CANNOT WAIT to see.
The Host
By Stephanie Meyers Release date: March 29th 2013
Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away. Earth has been invaded by a species that takes over the minds of human hosts while leaving their bodies intact, and most of humanity has succumbed.
Wanderer, the invading “soul” who has been given Melanie’s body, knew about the challenges of living inside a human: the overwhelming emotions, the too vivid memories. But there was one difficulty Wanderer didn’t expect: the former tenant of her body refusing to relinquish possession of her mind.
Melanie fills Wanderer’s thoughts with visions of the man Melanie loves – Jared, a human who still lives in hiding. Unable to separate herself from her body’s desires, Wanderer yearns for a man she’s never met. As outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off to search for the man they both love.
The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones
by Cassandra Clare Release Date: 23rd August 2013
When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder — much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It’s hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing — not even a smear of blood — to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?
This is Clary’s first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It’s also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace’s world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know. . . .
Catching Fire (The Hunger Games) By Suzanne Collins
Release date: 21st November 2013
Sparks are igniting, flames are spreading and the Capitol wants revenge.
Against all odds, Katniss has won the Hunger Games. She and fellow District 12 tribute Peeta Mellark are miraculously still alive. Katniss should be relieved, happy even. After all, she has returned to her family and longtime friend, Gale. Yet nothing is the way Katniss wishes it to be. Gale holds her at an icy distance. Peeta has turned his back on her completely. And there are whispers of a rebellion against the Capitol – a rebellion that Katniss and Peeta may have helped create.
Much to her shock, Katniss has fueled an unrest she’s afraid she cannot stop. And what scares her even more is that she’s not entirely convinced she should try. As time draws near for Katniss and Peeta to visit the districts on the Capitol’s cruel Victory Tour, the stakes are higher than ever. If they can’t prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that they are lost in their love for each other, the consequences will be horrifying.
FAN-MADE Trailer
Okay, so there are only three, but they will be total hits at the box office and I, for one, will totally be contributing towards that!
So, what book-to-films are you most excited about this year?
