Optimistic October Releases~

It's another month already~
October is my busiest month yet.
And books are coming like crazy. :D
There are soo many coming out this month..
I just can't~
Lemme introduce them to you. :)

The Blood of Olympus (The Heroes of Olympus, #5)The Blood of Olympus (The Heroes of Olympus #5)
by Rick Riordan
Release Date: October 7th, 2014

Thoughts: It's the last book in the series! I feel like I've grown up with Percy Jackson or something. Although the series get crazier and bigger each time, I'm still happy to continue reading. But I kind of hope it stops here. I mean, yeah, I WANT MORE PERCY. But Percy's gotta grow up and live his life like a normal human being. 

AAANND. Rick Riordan's writing a new Norse series!!!! Yaaass. I'm checking that out~


The Young Elites (The Young Elites, #1)The Young Elites (The Young Elites #1)
by Marie Lu
Release Date: October 7th, 2014

Thoughts: Omgomgomg. It's coming out already? I swear it was just yesterday I was wondering about the release date. I thought it comes out 2015 or something! Obviously I haven't been keeping up since there's a whole bunch of blog posts and giveaways for this. OMG. I CAN'T. I JUST CAN'T. I'm so excited to read this! I'll be so juiced when it gets into my hands. HAHAH. :)



In the Afterlight (The Darkest Minds, #3)In the Afterlight (The Darkest Minds #3)
by Alexandra Bracken
Release Date: October 28th, 2014

Thoughts: And here it is! The last installment of The Darkest Minds. OMG. I absolutely loved the first book! And I've been waiting so long, I might need to reread the series all over again to get all those feels again. :) 

Ruby and Liam though. They need to be together. And then there's Cole. I dunno. I really need to reread the series again. Haha. 

Snow Like Ashes (Snow Like Ashes, #1)Snow Like Ashes (Snow like Ashes #1)
by Sara Raasch
Release Date: October 14th, 2014

Thoughts: I've been seeing this book around so much. And now that I read the summary, I definitely want to read it! Like OMG YAAAAS. High Fantasy. Warrior girl. Best friend love interest. What else could I ask for? I hope the writing really lives up to its synopsis! 

The one and only problem I have so far is the love interest's name: Mather. Really? Mather? I think it could have been hotter. But maybe there's a hidden meaning or he has a special name....:)

Talon (Talon, #1)Talon (Talon #1)
by Julie Kagawa
Release Date: October 28th, 2014

Thoughts: I mean, it's Julie Kagawa. I read a preview of the book and it seemed like a fun book to read. Although I was looking to some romance but I don't see any....yet. Anyways. This book is about dragons. That can be humans. And dragon hunters. 

Either way, I might check this one out if I have time, because I'm not really into dragons. But maybe this can change my mind. :D

by Becca Fitzpatrick
Release Date: October 7th, 2014

Thoughts: Haven't checked this book out yet, but it seems like it's a standalone.....woah. This is more like a suspense, yet hints of romance. And all those grim blizzards and murders. It seems like it would belong in my English textbook. Not that it's a bad thing. Lately, I been reading so much about deaths like Into the Thin Air and Of Clay We Are Created. 

Hmmm. Maybe I'll check this out. Just to see which boys she ends up with. :) 

by Stephanie Perkins, Holly Black, Ally Carter, Gayle Forman, Jenny Han, David Levithan, and more...
Release Date: October 14th, 2014

Thoughts: Omgomgomg. It's like my favorite authors all in one! Especially Stephanie Perkins! I can't get enough of her awesome characters and romances. Anna and Etienne. <3. 

And it's the holidays already!!! Times go by so fast. *tears. I don't even know why I'm so emotional, but it's just those warm-flutter feelings of the holiday. :)

by Ally Condie
Release Date: October 28th, 2014

Thoughts: This sounds like an interesting book to read. :) And that's a lovely cover there. I think she's a siren. Because there's no mention of mermaids and they live underwater...

I'll definitely check this one out. :) 

by Ilima Todd
Release Date: October 14th, 2014

Thoughts: Since I'm doing a blog tour for Remake, I might as well do some early promotion. It is actually a book worth reading if you have some time~ If you like dystopian and just a random book to enjoy, here's one for you~ :) 


Well. There's a lot more books coming out this month, but here are the lovely mentions. 
What are the books you're waiting for to come out this month?

Movie News: 2014!

I haven't been talking about movies since awhile.
Well, besides that Divergent review. 
But I'm not here to talk about Divergent. 
At least not entirely.
There are many movies going to come out! OMG.
I just can't wait.
Because even though some of the 'movies based on books' may not the best movie ever, I still have to watch. 
Just for the book. For the author.

OKAY. Let's move on.


1. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

 
     

I know. I know. Old news. BUT still. Even though it's part of 2013, there really aren't that much movies.
But it was good. Way good. A good starting stone.
AND I HAVE TO SAY, IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST FREAKIN' MOVIE THAT WAS BASED ON A BOOK EVER. 
You guys can contradict me if you wish. LOL. If you find a better one. Be sure to tell me!
I mean, this is like the only movie I can ever say was better than the book. Forreal though.
Jennifer Lawrence. You go girl.
Loved this one.



2. Divergent

 
  

Yep. The second one. Divergent.
Was there a movie in between Catching Fire and Divergent.
At least not that I know of.
After Catching Fire, the next movie I watched was Frozen. 
SO..... quite unrelated to books.
But I would love to talk about it! Just message. Somehow. LOL. If that isn't too creepy.
Either after Catching Fire, the next book movie I watched was Divergent. And I just had a review on it.
Theo James. So fine.
Okay. Done. Next movie.


3. The Fault in Our Stars


 

Now this is what I'm talking about for MOVIE NEWS.
The ones not released yet! Duh!
#TFIOS
JUST CANNOT WAIT.
That book though. *tears. 
Omg. I just can't.
From Divergent, I know Shailene is a pretty good actress. She may not be like super duper goddess great, but she's amazing enough.
Ansel Elgort. He doesn't really appear that much in Divergent.
But all's well.
I don't despise him.
I thought he was actually cute though.
At least in some angles.
I truly did not think Augustus would look like Ansel.
To me, Gus would be the kind that looks like he would those guys riding motorcycles. 
Welps. At least, we can see him more.
Okay.
Move on to some movie infos:


Release Date: June 6th, 2014!

Trailer:


No huge emotions now. Yet.
But we'll see when time gets closer.


For those who haven't read THE FAULT IN OUR STARS:
GO READ IT! What are you waiting for? 
Even if you don't like movies. 
Or all kinds of books.
Or anything.
Just go read it.
:)
Please.
I'm not begging though.


4. The Maze Runner

 
 

So I saw the trailer for this movie when I was watching Divergent.
Just. Gosh. It looks good. 
Not gonna lie. Not trying to be biased or anything.
But I really love the maze.
So real.
So how I imagined it.
And truly. Dylan O'Brien can make a good Thomas.
Cuz everyone at school is just fangurlin over Dylan O'Brien.
Cuz of Teen Wolf. And I still don't watch that.
But at least I can finally fangirl about Dylan O'Brien after this movie with them. I hope.
 So far, there isn't that much information. But the release date and trailer is definitely out. And cast characters. You wanna know?


Release Date: September 19th, 2014.


Trailer:


Yes. I'm talking about this trailer. Oh. Look at Dylan O'Brien. And yes. I just have to say his full name. Just because. I don't know him that well yet to use first name basis. LOL. Jk.

Cast:
Thomas - Dylan O'Brien
Teresa - Kaya Scodelario
Gally - Will Poulter
It's that guy from We're the Millers. Hilarious.
Newt - Thomas Sangster
Alby - Aml Ameen


Okay. That was the short list of casts.
And I'm not fretting over that release date cuz there's still TFIOS coming out in only 3 months. And since we're talking movies, MALEFICENT.
Yes. Definitely watching some Angelina Jolie there.



5. Eleanor & Park


 

Did you think that was it? 
Apparently not.
There's Eleanor & Park!
Okay. Maybe there isn't anything set yet.
Like no movie poster. No cast. No release date.
But it's official!
And this is for those who haven't heard about this good news yet! :)
But the movie's probably gonna be set for 2015.
No worries tho. Tons of movies coming out. In a row.
Yo estoy muy contenta.
You see how much I learn in Spanish 1? :)

 

 Tons of great, great movies coming out. 
Super exciting.
And if you guys hear about some other movies. TELL ME. I wasn't trying to be threatening. It just came out that way. Sorry.
Like forreal. Tell me. Please. Cuz I wanna know. :) 
For the sake of my movie obsessions. 
Haha.

Thanks for reading~
Stay tuned for more news~
