Bok till film: Vad är nytt?
Trailern till The 5th Wave är här... Är ni lika taggade som jag? Ser framemot att även få läsa boken...
The Schorch Trials kommer ju ut nu, har själv planerat in att se den i helgen! Ska bli kul! Älskade första filmen, men har dock hört att andra boken inte vara lika intressant som den första..? Ska bli kul att få se den vilket fall :)
Snaaart kommer ju Mockingjay part 2!! Ser otroligt mycket framemot den, då jag hittills älskat alla filmer som kommit ut :) Måste säga att jag inte...'avgudade' sista boken dock! Kändes aningens för deppig för min smak, men tror att filmen kan bli awesome ändå! ;)
Shadowhunters arbetet går ju framåt... Har endast kommit ut en liten miiiniteaser trailer hittills (om man ens kan kalla det det), men jag följer ju alla skådisarna på sociala medier, så har ändå fått se ganska mycket från bakom kulisserna. Tror att det kan bli riiiktigt bra! Har även fått se lite av Kat McNamara (Clary) i The Foster, samt Alan van Sprang (Valentine) i Reign, och båda verkar som bra skådisar.
Visste ni BTW att Matthew Daddario, som kommer spela Alec, är bror till Alexandra Daddario som spelade Annabeth Chase i Percy Jackson filmerna?? Fick reda på det ganska nyligen.. Lite fun fact :)
Har ni sett Paper Towns än? Det har jag :) Inte läst boken dock, vilket är lite synd... Men filmer var i alla fall bra :)
Visste ni att A Series of Unfortunate Events ska bli till en ny tvserie av Netflix?! Det är ju de bästa nyheterna på länge :D (Och egentligen är det väldigt gamla nyheter, men hehe jag är lite efter)

Handling:
From the author of the New York Times bestseller Eleanor & Park.
A coming-of-age tale of fan fiction, family and first love.
Cath is a Simon Snow fan.
Okay, the whole world is a Simon Snow fan...
But for Cath, being a fan is her life—and she’s really good at it. She and her twin sister, Wren, ensconced themselves in the Simon Snow series when they were just kids; it’s what got them through their mother leaving.
Reading. Rereading. Hanging out in Simon Snow forums, writing Simon Snow fan fiction, dressing up like the characters for every movie premiere.
Cath’s sister has mostly grown away from fandom, but Cath can’t let go. She doesn’t want to.
Now that they’re going to college, Wren has told Cath she doesn’t want to be roommates. Cath is on her own, completely outside of her comfort zone. She’s got a surly roommate with a charming, always-around boyfriend, a fiction-writing professor who thinks fan fiction is the end of the civilized world, a handsome classmate who only wants to talk about words... And she can’t stop worrying about her dad, who’s loving and fragile and has never really been alone.
For Cath, the question is: Can she do this?
Can she make it without Wren holding her hand? Is she ready to start living her own life? Writing her own stories?
And does she even want to move on if it means leaving Simon Snow behind?

Handling:
Winning what you want may cost you everything you love...
As a general’s daughter in a vast empire that revels in war and enslaves those it conquers, seventeen-year-old Kestrel has two choices: she can join the military or get married. But Kestrel has other intentions.
One day, she is startled to find a kindred spirit in a young slave up for auction. Arin’s eyes seem to defy everything and everyone. Following her instinct, Kestrel buys him—with unexpected consequences. It’s not long before she has to hide her growing love for Arin.
But he, too, has a secret, and Kestrel quickly learns that the price she paid for a fellow human is much higher than she ever could have imagined.
Set in a richly imagined new world, The Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkoski is a story of deadly games where everything is at stake, and the gamble is whether you will keep your head or lose your heart.

I heart Paris #3
Tycker verkligen om den här bokserien. Den är mysig, lugnande, lättlyssnad, söt... :)
The Selection blir film!?
JEPP. Its true.
Bara för några dagar sedan konfirmerade Kiera Cass, författaren till The Selection-serien, att Warner Bros har köpt filmrättigheterna. Katie Lovejoy (NBC's Dracula) har blivit satt som ansvarig för adaptionen.
Det är tyvärr allt man har fått veta hittills! Men ändå mycket spännande nyheter!! :)
Tidigare så har The Selection försökts göras till en tvserie hos The CW, men det gick inte igenom (och tack gode gud för det, för det manuset var skit och dynamit). Alltså mycket roligt att serien nu får en ny chans!
Hoppas att vi får mer nyheter snart om detta, ni kan lita på att jag återkommer om det händer något spännande ;)

Croissants till frukost
Här kommer ett (tror jag) härligt boktips. Ska precis till och börja på den :-)
Jace Wayland casting färdig: "Shadowhunters"
Nu mina vänner, så har vi äntligen fått reda på vem som ska få spela Jace Wayland i den uppkommande "Shadowhunters"-serien, nämligen Dominic Sherwood.
Jag kommer självfallet att sakna gamla Jace, spelad av Jamie Campbell Bower, men tror ändå att ett nytt cast kan vara bra, och det verkar som att Dominic kommer passa ganska bra. Han har utseendet och färdigheterna för att spela en bra Jace, tror jag.
Ser framemot att få höra mer om castingen till Shadowhunters... Vad tycker ni om nya Jace? :)

Bokrecension: The Jewel (The Lone City #1)
Boktitel: The Jewel
Författare: Amy Ewing
Utgivningsår: 2014
Mitt betyg: 6/10
Handling: The Jewel means wealth. The Jewel means beauty. The Jewel means royalty. But for girls like Violet, the Jewel means servitude. Not just any kind of servitude. Violet, born and raised in the Marsh, has been trained as a surrogate for the royalty—because in the Jewel the only thing more important than opulence is offspring.
Purchased at the surrogacy auction by the Duchess of the Lake and greeted with a slap to the face, Violet (now known only as #197) quickly learns of the brutal truths that lie beneath the Jewel’s glittering facade: the cruelty, backstabbing, and hidden violence that have become the royal way of life.
Violet must accept the ugly realities of her existence... and try to stay alive. But then a forbidden romance erupts between Violet and a handsome gentleman hired as a companion to the Duchess’s petulant niece. Though his presence makes life in the Jewel a bit brighter, the consequences of their illicit relationship will cost them both more than they bargained for.

My thoughts: I enjoyed this book. I liked the concept of it, and the carachters, but I didn't really connect to them as much as I would have hoped.
Also, I didn't really get a picture of the world that the book was set in. I would have liked a little bit more of an explanation as to where in the world it was set, and during what time. Obviously, I understood that it was dystopian set on a sort of island. I just would have liked a more specific and detailed explanation for everything, I guess.
As I said, I really enjoyed the premice of this book. It felt, in a way, new and quite interesting with the whole surrogacy and the Auggories. Felt a little bit like a mix between The Selection and The Hunger Games. Of course there weren't any games, or fights to the death, but I kinda got a feel of it anyway.
The romance was nice, and I really liked that Violets musical interest played quite a big part in the story. I also liked that the book was more focused on the female royalty, rather than the male. It felt as if the cruel and vicious women were the ones who had the real power in the book. And I quite liked that.
Recommend it too those who liked the Selection and the Hunger Games, and too those who are interested in books about court politics set in dystopian worlds.

Shadowhunters-TVshow
Först och främst, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!
Som ni kanske märker så är jag SJUKT taggad på den här, nya filmatiseringen av The Mortal Instruments-bokserien av Cassandra Clare. Och NU är det äntligen officiellt. "Shadowhunters" kommer till ABC family nu i höst.
Handling:
Based on the six best-selling young adult fantasy book series, Shadowhunters follows 18 year old Clary Fray, who finds out on her birthday that she is not who she thinks she is, but rather comes from a long line of Shadowhunters — human-angel hybrids who hunt down demons. When her mother Jocelyn is kidnapped, Clary is thrown into the world of demon hunting with mysterious Shadowhunter Jace and her best friend, Simon. Now living among faeries, warlocks, vampires and werewolves, Clary begins a journey of self-discovery as she learns more about her past and what her future may hold.
Det har blivit konfirmerat att ABC family har tagit upp projektet, och att serien kommer visas på den kanalen. Vad vi hittills vet är att filmningen startar i Maj i Toronto, enligt The Hollywood Reporter. Castingen kommer att avslöjas senare. Serien ska vara ett drama med ungefär 13 avsnitt, ca 1 timme långa.
Den här gången kommer de att göra karaktärerna äldre. Clary är 18, och Simon och Jace kommer vara i tjugoårsåldern. De tror att de blir bäst, eftersom att filmen "City Of Bones" framstod mer som ett tonårs-fantasy-drama, vilket inte tilltalar en lika stor publik.
"Shadowhunters is a big, epic saga that will resonate with viewers who come to ABC Family for the Harry Potter, Hunger Games and Twilight franchises," ABC Family president Tom Ascheim said. "A New York Times best-seller for 122-consecutive weeks, with over 35 million copies in print worldwide, Shadowhunters is the perfect story to share with our audience."
Min största oro nu är att serien ska bli cheesy, och ha halvbra effekter, som det lätt blir med fantasy-serier på ABC. Exempelvis som i Once Upon A Time. Förhoppningsvis så satsar de mycket på att det inte ska bli så.
Annars så tror jag att det här kommer bli HUR bra som HELST! Ser otrooligt mycket framemot det, och hoppas verkligen att de håller sig till bokens handling så mycket som möjligt, så att det inte blir ännu en TMI-flopp...

Every four years, two children are taken from the village to be enrolled in either school, despite the parents' best attempts to prevent it from happening. No children have ever returned, but will occasionally show up in storybooks that mysteriously appear each year.

"Hundar, hus & hjärtats längtan" av Lucy Dillon
Jag är jäkligt svag för må-bra-böcker. Lucy Dillons verk älskar jag särskilt! Denna tar jag mig an härnäst ♡
/Rebecka
Handling: Juliet har nyligen förlorat sin älskade man Ben. Endast trettioett år gammal och änka stannar livet för Juliet. Hon isolerar sig hemma och tillbringar dagarna framför teven. Desperat försöker hon följa råden i olika självhjälpsböcker och väntar förhoppningsfullt på den magiska ettårsdagen då hon enligt böckerna ska ha lämnat det värsta bakom sig.
Hennes syster Louise lever ett på ytan perfekt liv. Hon är gift med framgångsrika egenföretagaren Peter, de har lilla sonen Toby och lever i ett snyggt, toppstylat hem. Men sedan barnet kom saknar Louise något i sitt äktenskap ...
När mamma Diane lyckas locka ut sin ena dotter, Juliet, på hundpromenader, först med den egna lilla terriern Minton och snart även med andra hundpersonligheter i grannskapet, börjar det hända saker ...
Utan att Juliet vet hur det gått till, har hon plötsligt ansvar för en mängd hundar, katter och krukväxter som behöver omvårdnad när ägarna är bortresta. Dessutom får hon energi över till att börja renovera det viktorianska hus som hon och Ben köpte tillsammans. Med hjälp av Lorcan, en god vän till den stökiga men trevliga rockmusikälskande storfamiljen i huset intill, tar Juliet tag i ett rum i sänder - något som verkar ha samma terapeutiska inverkan på hennes liv som hundpromenaderna har.
Systrarnas vägar korsas under jakten på lycka och en attraktiv man kommer att spela en alltmer avgörande roll i sammanhanget.
En hjärtevärmande berättelse, precis som den älskade förra boken. Lucy Dillon när hon är som bäst!
