Astounding August Releases~

So many amazing new releases for August! 
:D Especially excited for Isla and the Happily Ever After~

Isla and the Happily Ever After (Anna and the French Kiss, #3)Isla and the Happily Ever After (Anna and the French Kiss #3)
by Stephanie Perkins
Release Date: August 14th, 2014

My Thoughts: OMG! It's finally here! Stephanie Perkins creates the cutest characters ever. Every time I reread Anna and the French Kiss, I refall in love with Etienne St. Clair. But I heard Josh was even better!! So really can't wait to read about Isla and Josh's lovely romance in PARIS. :D

Tagline: From the glittering streets of Manhattan to the moonlit rooftops of Paris, falling in love is easy for hopeless dreamer Isla and introspective artist Josh. 


Opposition (Lux, #5)Opposition (Lux #5)
by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Release Date: August 5th, 2014

My Thoughts: I haven't been keeping up with this series, but the first book was an entertaining, fun read. :) Book 5's synopsis sounds good. A lover's betrayal. Hmm. :) Hope the fans are excited! I wonder how this series is though. 

Tagline: Katy knows the world changed the night the Luxen came.

The Rule of Thoughts (The Mortality Doctrine, #2)The Rule of Thoughts (The Mortality Doctrine #2)
by James Dashner
Release Date: August 26th, 2014

My Thoughts: The Maze Runner anyone? Well, this isn't the Maze Runner, but the movie is coming out NEXT MONTH!! DYLAN O'BRIEN! AND THE MAZE LOOKS AWESOME. Okay. I actually haven't been reading James Dashner's new series, but it's worth mentioning the second book is coming out soon!! :D 

Tagline: Michael completed the Path. What he found at the end turned everything he’d ever known about his life—and the world—completely upside down.

by Collen Hoover
Release Date: August 5th, 2014

My Thoughts: This is definitely either new adult or adult. But since it's was a popular new release on Goodreads, I'm going to feature it too. :) I don't remember reading any of Colleen Hoover's books, so no idea how her writing style works.

Tagline: When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she knows it isn’t love at first sight. 


by Michael Grant
Release Date: August 26th, 2014

My Thoughts: 
I mean, it's Michael Grant. What can I say? Not that much. Because I haven't read much of his books. I read Gone, I thought it was pretty good. And Eve and Adam. But yannoe, just featuring the new releases. 

Tagline:  I remembered my name – Mara. But, standing in that ghostly place, faced with the solemn young man in the black coat with silver skulls for buttons, I could recall nothing else about myself.


by Rick Riordan
Release Date: August 19th, 2014

My Thoughts: I love Percy Jackson's sarcastic remarks. Totally entertaining. And those Greek gods also happen to be hilarious. Love Greek myth. More importantly, love me some more Percy Jackson. :D <33

Tagline: Who could tell the origin stories of the gods of Olympus better than a modern-day demigod? 


The Girl of Fire and Thorns Stories (Fire and Thorns, #0.5-0.7)The Girl of Fire and Thorns Stories: The Shadow Cats, The Shattered Mountain, & The King's Guard
by Rae Carson
Release Date: August 26th, 2014

My Thoughts: The novellas are out~ Or they've been out. They're just together now. :) #0.5 - 0.7. I haven't read book two and three yet thought, much less novellas. But :) You know the drill. 

Tagline:  Ummm. Too lazy to type them all. Or copy and paste them all. SOO....


by Lori M. Lee
Release Date: August 5th, 2014

My Thoughts: The cover looks similar to Clockwork Princess. :) And the "brother" part. I love high fantasy books, so I'll definitely love this book if it also has a fabulous writing style, plot, and character. Which is totally hard to ask for. I'm definitely willing to give it a try though. :D

Tagline: In the Labyrinth, we had a saying: keep silent, keep still, keep safe.


So that's it for my post for August. 
Be sure to leave a comment if there is another August release you are excited about! :)
Happy Reading~

The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones MOVIE Fandom


OMG. THIS MOVIE WAS SO PERF<3 ! I TAKE BACK WHAT I SAID ABOUT NOT REALLY FANGURLING AS MUCH DURING THE MOVIE. CUZ I WAS FANGURLING AS HECK DURING THE MOVIE. OMG. OMG. THOSE FAB FAB FAB SCENES.


Yee. My super fangurl side coming out. I must say, the director of this movie was pretty good. And even better. THE 'JACE' IN THE MOVIE DIDN'T MAKE ME DISLIKE HIM. AT ALL. LIKE I THOUGHT I WOULDN'T LIKE THE MOVIE VERY MUCH. Just because. And then I freakin loved it. 

OF COURSE, my traitor friend watched it the first time without me, but I can't blame her for it. I watched this  on August 24th, 2013. And this post comes out about 2 and half weeks later, because post is scheduled. LOL.

BUT YEAH. IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED IT, I HOPE IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO WATCH IT YET! :) The DVD comes out somewhere between November and December. I'm definitely buying that movie. Yeah. It's how good it is.

Omg. Sadly though, I found TMI even better than the Percy Jackson movie. But nothing's better than Logan Lerman's face. Gosh. But like Jace was sooo freakin hot. aahh. Like just that cape thing made him hot. Omg. Omg. I usually mind British accents. But then I didn't care about Jamie's accent. And MAGNUS BANE! DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ABOUT MAGNUS. OMG. Okay. Okay. I think I should start talking about the characters now. 


Characters:

Jace Wayland - Jamie Campbell Bower


So as ya'll may know, I wasn't really ecstatic about Jamie playing Jace at first. Just cuz. I felt like Jace wasn't like Jamie. I got the sense from the book that Jace was of the golden boy. With short hair. Even though it may have been long and shaggy. I really don't go for shaggy looks. Like forreal. But then Jamie though. Kind of changed it. He acted really good.

Either way, Jace Wayland was pretty fulfilled by Jamie. Except the movie Jace wasn't as cocky as the book Jace, that talked more. The movie Jace was definitely more mysterious though. And was hotter than I expected in the book. Whooppeee. As long as the guy character is good, the movie is good. LOL.

Although I did say Jamie is so freakin hot in the movie, I don't really know what I'll think of him outside the movie. Like Jamie is really funny and outgoing but then Logan is still my fav. Sorry, Jamie. But then, like I'll forever fandom Jamie and The Mortal Instruments. Cuz he made like the freakin best Jace ever


Clary Fray - Lily Collins


Okay. I spent the last few paragraphs basically repeating everything, so I'll try to make this shorter. Lily. Hmmm. She was a good actress and all. And cool. I think she fulfilled a Clary very well. She acted very well indeed. AND CLARY AND JACE IN THE MOVIE WAS LIKE PERFECTION.

:) I actually liked the female character. So whoppeee, more success to the movie~ 


Simon Lewis - Robert Michael Sheehan


Okay. Simon was hot in the movie. Yes. Yes, he was. But real life, I don't like his afro. But either way, I liked Simon. He was funny. But we didn't get to him transform to a vampire or anything. So. Yeah. But Simon was coolio. :)

He was a bit of a cock blocker, but then I enjoyed him being there. :) 


Alec Lightwood - Kevin Zegers

 Alec was cool. I mean, I really did like Alec. I felt like he sort completed the story. Alec would be someone that reminds you of home. Like a home sort of feeling and atmosphere.

I dunno. Even though he didn't like Clary, I liked him being there for Jace and everything. Yeah. 

Kevin Zegers looks really old in real life, even though he's not. But either way, he has the hotness vibes.


Isabelle Lightwood - Jemima West

 Omg. YOu GO, GURL. Isabelle is so hot in the movie. Like amazing. She's like the take-charge hot woman warrior, yet sexy at the same time. Gee. If I was a shadowhunter, I would totally treat her as a saint. Omg. PERFECT. Like if Clary had her personalities, she would had been on fire. 

I like Clary as she is though. And we need a character like Isabelle. :) Yes. I thought Isabelle was okay in the book. But in the movie, Isabelle protected Simon a lot. And liked saved people's lives. And just like, she's cool. 


Valentine Morgenstern - Jonathon Rhys Meyers 

Valentine wasn't as ugly as I thought he should be.
Because he's the bad guy. He should be ugly. And there wasn't any hot descriptions of him in the book.

But either way, I was actually surprised that Valentine wasn't ugly. I mean. Yeah. He is hot. But isn't like JACE HOT. OR like my definition of hot. But you can certainly describe him as hot.

I'm just confusing myself. Anyways, I think Jonathon did a pretty good job, even though he didn't really show up much till the end.


Magnus Bane - Godfrey Gao 

Can't believe I almost forgot about him. Like him. Omg. Magnus Bane was sooooo hot in the movie. And just plain hilarious. Magnus wasn't the mysterious Jace hot. He was the sassy hot. Yeah. 

Godfrey's makeup though. Just shows us what Magnus Bane is like. And Magnus is really funny. He most definitely perked the movie up. Not saying other things didn't. But yeah. That was one damn sassy Warlock though. 

Mhmmm. 


Yeah. Finally. Finished with characters. Since I talked like soo much. SOOO MUCH. I might as well end it.

One more thing though. The ending, hmmm was pretty good. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER THOUGH IF THE MOTORCYCLE FLEW. BUT I liked it anyways. :) And I really need to mention that kiss scene. Woah. 

I mean, I'm not a perv or anything, but that kiss scene was so freakin sexy. LOL. And CUTE. I can't believe Jamie and Lily had already broken up filming that. They should totes go back together. 

Weeee~ Yeah. FANDOM with me guys~ If you have time, I can still fandom for a long long time. LOL. :)

Graceling by Kristin Cashore- How far does my fandom take me?

Heey guys. I spent this whole entire afternoon working on this video. And it was worth it! Even if I did plan to finish Sunlight and Shadow by Cameron Dokey TODAY. :c I sacrificed reading for this video. But it was enjoyable. Yes it did take a whole afternoon due to the irritating freezing Windows Movie Maker provided. AHEM. Okay, so. Hope you enjoy it! <3 For people who haven't read Graceling yet, here's my persuasion video. (:


And that will be all. Bye! ;D
