Jace Wayland Cast in TMI Series!

As y'all have probably guesstimated by now (since I am always going on and on about it) Cassie Clare's "Mortal Instruments" series is my most favourite book series of all time therefore I am beyond excited to announce that Jace Wayland (aka the most swoon-worthy boy of all time) has been cast in the film adaptation!

At first I was totally Team Alex, but after a couple of months of negotiations I started to realize that the reality of him becoming Jace was pretty slim. Therefore when names like Max Irons, Jamie Campbell Bower, and the likes of were thrown around for the role of Jace, Jamie quickly became the frontrunner in my mind (especially after seeing Max Iron's kinda cruddy role in "Red Riding Hood"- seriously, did he say more than 10 words in that film?) because well.... Look at him! I can totally picture him as Jace! And I personally feel that he looks quite a bit younger than Alex (remember Jace is only supposed to be 16 in the books/ film and if they were to make every book in the series- 6 in total- they wouldn't want him to look all that old right off the bat, they would want him to grow throughout the films a la "Harry Potter" actors).

Anyways, what are your thoughts? Do you feel, like I do, that Jamie makes a perfect Jace?

A Couple of Interesting Things...

Okie dokie, so I have a couple of announcements and I figured that I might as well combine them all into one biggasized post.

First, originally for my FIRST FANTABULOUS GIVEAWAY I was giving away Amazon gift cards to either Amazon.ca, Amazon.com, or Amazon.uk.co... However, someone suggested that I give the winner the choice between an Amazon gift card or a Book Depository gift card, since the Book Depository ships to a lot more locations than Amazon does (aka everyone who couldn't enter the giveaway because they had no use for an Amazon gift card because there wasn't any shipping to their country can now enter) and the Book Depository's shipping is free. Well, I thought that this was a fantabulous suggestion (thanks Larissa)... So that is exatly what I am going to do!

With this change the prizes now sit at three Amazon or Book Depository gift cards (one to each of three lucky followers) that are valued at $15 American a piece. If I can reach 150 followers before the end of the giveaway (December 22nd), the gift cards value will increase to $25 a piece, and if I can reach 200 followers by that date I will increase the gift cards to $40 a piece!

Second, I am now on Twitter! Not going to lie, I don't Tweet all that much (though I am sure that that will quickly change), but I still think that you should go follow me ;) ! My Twitter is @AverysBookNook and as of right now I am too technicalogically challenged to make a blog button for it, but I eventually will!

Third, well this isn't an announcement per se, just something that I found interesting... Did y'all know that there was a "Red Riding Hood" movie coming out? I sure didn't! But I think that it looks super awesome and I just had to share!

I am Number Four Movie Trailer

Kinda crazy... I didn't think that they had even started filming "I am Number Four" but apparently I was wrong. I did a review of the book a month and a bit ago, and while it was an okay book, it wasn't my most favourite by any means.

Last night when I saw "Skyline" I saw "IAN4"'s preview, and let me tell you, in my opinion I think that it looks pretty good! I love  I do think that this will be one of those instances where the movie is better than the books (*cough, cough, "Beastly"* what is it with Alex movies looking to be a gazillion times better than the book?)... Anyways, without further ado, the trailer!



EDIT: Also, here is an interesting article that was brought to my attention regarding James Frey one of the co-authors of this book (Thanks Stephanie). I would really recommend taking a look at it!
