TGIF

Happy Friday everyone 🙂

It is TGIF time of the week. TGIF is a weekly meme hosted by GReads. This weeks question is:

– Unexpected Books: Which books did you have reservations about reading, but ended up loving once you did?

This is a hard one because i have never really had reservations about anything i wanted to read.

The closet would have to be The Great Gatsby. I only read it for class so i had no expectations of it. When i finished reading it, i loved it. It has become an all time favourite.

“Book to Movie” Monday (#3) – The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

06 Monday Aug 2012

Posted by Great Munchie Reads in Book to Movie Monday

≈ 1 Comment

J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings

Title: The Hobbit
Author:
J.R.R. Tolkien
Pages:
306
Format:
Paperback
Publisher:
Random House
Published:
1937
Goodreads

THE GREATEST FANTASY EPIC OF OUR TIME


Bilbo Baggins was a hobbit who wanted to be left alone in quiet comfort. But the wizard Gandalf came along with a band of homeless dwarves. Soon Bilbo was drawn into their quest, facing evil orcs, savage wolves, giant spiders, and worse unknown dangers. Finally, it was Bilbo–alone and unaided–who had to confront the great dragon Smaug, the terror of an entire countryside . . .

“Book to Movie” Monday is where I write what books I would like to see turned into a movie or a book that is already in production.

So this weeks pick is a movie in production and it is The Hobbit!

I was jumping up and down in my seat when I first heard about this, and I am even more excited now that it has been split into three movies. That’s right, not two, but THREE movies.

Peter Jackson, director of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, will also director The Hobbit.

I am also excited to see all my favorites from The Lord of the Rings back on the big screen.

Bring on December 2012!

Anna Dressed In Blood – Kendare Blake

05 Sunday Aug 2012

Anna Dressed in Blood, Anna Series, Kendare Blake

Title: Anna Dressed In Blood
Author: Kendare Blake
Series: Anna
Pages: 316
Format: Hardcover
Publisher: Tor Teen
Published: August 30th 2011
Goodreads

Just your average boy-meets-girl, girl-kills-people story…

Cas Lowood has inherited an unusual vocation: He kills the dead. So did his father before him, until his gruesome murder by a ghost he sought to kill. Now, armed with his father’s mysterious and deadly athame, Cas travels the country with his kitchen-witch mother and their spirit-sniffing cat. Together they follow legends and local lore, trying to keep up with the murderous dead—keeping pesky things like the future and friends at bay.

When they arrive in a new town in search of a ghost the locals call Anna Dressed in Blood, Cas doesn’t expect anything outside of the ordinary: move, hunt, kill. What he finds instead is a girl entangled in curses and rage, a ghost like he’s never faced before. She still wears the dress she wore on the day of her brutal murder in 1958: once white, but now stained red and dripping blood. Since her death, Anna has killed any and every person who has dared to step into the deserted Victorian she used to call home.

And she, for whatever reason, spares his life.

I thought I would write a review on Anna Dressed In Blood as the next installment of the Anna series, Girl of Nightmares, comes out this week.

I love everything about this book. Ghost and ghost hunters, witches, mind readers and plenty of blood!

The whole time I was reading this book, I could not help but think of Supernatural (the TV series) which made Cas resemble the sexy Winchester boys as I read (YUMMY!).

Anna is a kickass, scary, rip you apart and store you in the floor ghost. I really enjoyed her as a character.

I hope that a novella prequel about Cas’s dad comes out. I’m sure we will find out about his past in the series but I would love him to have his own book 🙂

If you love books with great character development and supernatural teenagers you will love Anna Dressed In Blood!

So if you haven’t read Anna Dressed In Blood yet, you need to go out right now and get yourself a copy and make sure you pick up Girl Of Nightmares from August 7th 2012.

5 Stars: Amazing! I loved it and could not put it down. I highly recommend it.

“Waiting On” Wednesday (#3) – The Mark of Athena

01 Wednesday Aug 2012

Percy Jackson, Rick Riordan, The Heroes of Olympians, The Mark Of Athena

Title: The Mark Of Athena
Author: Rick Riordan
Series: The Heros of Olympus
Publisher: Hyperion Book
Published: October 2nd 2012
Goodreads

The Son of Neptune, Percy, Hazel, and Frank met in Camp Jupiter, the Roman equivalent of Camp Halfblood, and traveled to the land beyond the gods to complete a dangerous quest. The third book in the Heroes of Olympus series will unite them with Jason, Piper, and Leo. But they number only six–who will complete the Prophecy of Seven?
The Greek and Roman demigods will have to cooperate in order to defeat the giants released by the Earth Mother, Gaea. Then they will have to sail together to the ancient land to find the Doors of Death. What exactly are the Doors of Death? Much of the prophesy remains a mystery. . . . With old friends and new friends joining forces, a marvelous ship, fearsome foes, and an exotic setting, The Mark of Athena promises to be another unforgettable adventure by master storyteller Rick Riordan.

“Waiting On” Wednesday (#3) – The Mark of Athena

Happy August Everyone!

I love the world of Percy Jackson and i can’t wait for The Mark of Athena, the 3rd installment in The Heroes of Olympians series.

I’m so excited to see what happens and the cover looks so awesome!

“Waiting on” Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. It’s where we can share the upcoming titles we’re most excited to get our hands on!
