MBOB: Before I fall by Lauren Oliver

*Post may contain Affiliate Links

I don't know about anyone else, but I soooo can't wait for this to come out!  I read Before I fall back in 2010 and had hoped that this would make it to the movies.  And it did!!  Check out the trailer below, and make sure to read the book before you see it.  I've always been a strong believer that books are better than their movies.  I'll be itching to see how this movie pans out though.  But in the mean time, I'll be picking up Before I fall again, just to refresh the memory before March 3rd.

Bookish Gifts for the Literary Lover

It's that time of year again!  You're fumbling for ideas for that bookish friend or family member.  Book vouchers are an easy out but you want to do something special right?  Well here's your answer.

  

Out of Print is an amazing place to shop for clothing, jewellery, notebooks, tote bags you name it.  You can shop buy person, Collections, authors etc.  Well worth checking out.  This has to be my favourite one though:

Bookish Gifts is another one to go and check out.  Another website with an array of gift ideas.  These include scarves, stationery, prints and posters, mail subscriptions etc.  I'm in love with the Harry Potter scarves.  But then again, who wouldn't be :)

Knob Creek Metal Arts has an amazing range of book ends!  They do sell other things as well such as Signs and wall art, dog leash racks, etc.  So check them out.  Here's my favourite:

A place I stumbled upon not long ago.  This has got a massive range of lights for all your needs.  I don't know about anyone else, but I tend to do alot of reading at night time, especially when the family are asleep, so I don't usually like keeping the lights on and everyone up.  So my ideal choice would be this one below:

Well that's all from me for now.  Happy shopping!  Keep an eye out for future gift giving posts

TV Shows Based on Books: Midnight Series

This >has got to be one of those stories that I have been itching to see made into a movie or tv show, and as luck would have it, we get to see this happen.  If you haven't read the stories, I suggest picking up Midnight Crossroad and go from there.  I loved the Sookie Stackhouse series and Midnight has not disappointed either.  I expect the show to be just as amazing as Trueblood.

I could not find out when we can expect this to air on tv but if anyone knows, feel free to add in the comments below.

Waiting on Wednesday (161)

Wednesday was created by Jill over at Breaking The Spine. It's a weekly post for you to share what upcoming books you can't wait for!

I'm really looking forward to Cath Crowley's next book Words in Deep Blue.  We can expect this out in September of this year.  I can't wait!!

Synopsis:

This is a love story. It's the story of a second-hand bookshop called Howling Books where people leave letters to strangers, or those they love, or want to love, between the pages of books in the Letter Library.

Henry Jones and Rachel Sweetie are best friends. Or they were. Before Rachel moved away to the sea. Now, she's back, grieving for her brother Cal who drowned in the sea that he loved.

Rachel loves Henry. Henry loves Amy. Amy loves Amy but is happy for Henry to love her too.

This is a book about books. About the power of literature to cradle our past, present and future selves. It's about how we leave ourselves behind when we die. How we leave our histories in the things we love - like books.

What are you waiting on?
