if you ask me, these movie producers are running out of ideas! lol
Wow, I had no idea some of the rights had been bought for some of these. Very interesting, and some shocking haha
Oooooh The Giver
stargirlreads: i never read that. is it good?
Awesome! I read a bunch of articles and such about the Uglies movie being made but Scott Westerfield's official site says nothing, then I found this one site where it said the trailer was fan made. It's all confusing so I wasn't completely sure.
me too, but my sources tell me that the film rights HAVE been bought, but it is not for sure going to be made into a movie, at least not for a while
Holy Crap! There are SO many books! I've read some of them too, surprisingly lol! This is exciting :D
Wow! Thanks for the cool list. I can't wait to see a Sisters Grimm movie!!! And I LOVE this background, definitely keep it!!!
B.A.M. Book Reviews: i know! i was really amazed by the amount of books!
Bookworm: all of my friends read the sisters grimm, but i never got around to it! i'm going to read them this summer (hopefully). and thanks about the layout comment--ive been sort of skittish when it comes to layouts:) lol
Leah:)
And ooh.....I can't wait to see the Uglies movie! Just read the book....it was amazing! Also, the Percy Jackson cast is an all-star one.
Great list, I think that this should be an ongoing feature on your blog! Great research!
Hey, I just stole this and put it on my blog (mostly so I can look at it once a week) but I gave you credit for it. I seriously copied everything so if you want me to take down what you said, just let me know :)
