The Host Book Signing

 

Today was so very exciting!! I got to see Stephenie Meyer, Jake Abel, and Max Irons at the Philadelphia Free Library for a book signing THE HOST. It was really cold out but worth the wait and not feeling my toes. Jake Abel and Max Irons we so nice to all the fans and acted real down to earth. Sneaking cookies between signing books and pictures. At the end, they didn't leave right away but come out to take more pictures. That was very cool of them. 

Stephenie Meyer is coming to Philly!!!

I am so excited!!! Today The Philadelphia Free Library announced Stephenie Meyer is having an author signing Friday, February 22, 2013 at 11am. She will sign 2 books for each person. Also, the two hotties from the movie THE HOST, Max Irons (Jared) and Jake Abel (Ian) will also sign The Host book or Poster. However, there will be no posing for pictures, you can take pictures as you go through the line. I understand because I am pretty sure it will be packed but I would love to have my picture with all three. 

This is a free event, but Registration required.  No tickets required. For Info: 215-567-4341. Also check out The Philadelphia Free Library Website for more information.

Movie Monday

Julie Kagawa announced on her blog Friday that her untitled new series has been picked up by Universal for movie rights. The first book of the 5-book series is set for release in 2015 so it will be a while before a movie comes out.

Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks is released this week on Valentine's Day.

Lauren Oliver's The Delirium is going to be a TV show and the lead of Lena in the FOX pilot is cast by Emma Roberts. I adore her. Check out the Deadline article.

Movie Monday: Safe Haven

Nicholas Sparks is having another one of his amazing books hit the big screen. He always has movies that have great love stories so it is perfect timing that it will be in theaters Valentine's Day. Julianne Hough plays Katie Feldman and  Josh Duhamel protrays Alex Wheatley. I love both of them as actors so I am very excited. 

Safe Haven on IMBD

Love hurts. There is nothing as painful as heartbreak. But in order to learn to love again, you must learn to trust again.

When a mysterious young woman named Katie appears in the small North Carolina town of Southport, her sudden arrival raises questions about her past. Beautiful yet self-effacing, Katie seems determined to avoid forming personal ties until a series of events draws her into two reluctant relationships: one with Alex, a widowed store owner with a kind heart and two young children; and another with her plainspoken single neighbor, Jo. Despite her reservations, Katie slowly begins to let down her guard, putting down roots in the close-knit community and becoming increasingly attached to Alex and his family.

But even as Katie begins to fall in love, she struggles with the dark secret that still haunts and terrifies her . . . a past that set her on a fearful, shattering journey across the country, to the sheltered oasis of Southport. With Jo’s empathic and stubborn support, Katie eventually realizes that she must choose between a life of transient safety and one of riskier rewards . . . and that in the darkest hour, love is the only true safe haven

Movie Monday

Veronica Roth reported on her blog:

"Filming for the Divergent movie will be happening in the spring-- in Chicago! I am beyond happy that this worked out. I love Chicago. I've lived here for most of my life, and the city was obviously a huge inspiration for the books. I can't really express how cool it is that the city represented in the movie will be the actual city that I love. They're also reporting that this could create something like 1,000 local jobs and put some money into the Chicago economy, which makes me extra happy."

Lisa Kleypas's Christmas with Holly

One of my favorite things about the Holidays is Hallmark's Movies. This year the one I am most excited for is the premiere of Lisa Kleypas's Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor which has been renamed for the movie version as Christmas with Holly on Sunday December 9th at 8pm. Check out Hallmark's sneak peek on their website.

"Hallmark Hall of Fame’s Christmas with Holly resonates with romance and humor.

Maggie Conway has HAD it with big-city living, especially after being left at the altar. She moves to the small town of Friday Harbor in Washington State, finally realizing her dream of opening a toy store—and meets Mark Nagle, the proprietor of the local coffee shop. It’s not quite love at first sight, but almost!

Mark’s number one priority, though, is his six-year-old niece, Holly, whose single mom has recently passed away and left him as her guardian. He’s moved in with his two brothers to help him raise Holly. He’s also involved romantically with Shelby—a relationship that’s going nowhere. Maggie and her toy store prove to be the magical key to opening Holly’s heart after her loss.

As you can guess, these complicated lives intertwine. You’ll meet them and you’ll fall in love with them in Christmas with Holly, Sunday, December 9, 2012, on ABC.

Christmas with Holly stars Sean Faris, Eloise Mumford, Daniel Eric Gold, Dana Watkins, Catherine Bèrubè, Alex Paxton-Beesley and Lucy & Josie Gallina as Holly."

Breaking Dawn: Part 2 Movie Review

We all have been waiting years to see the finale of the Twilight Saga on the big screen. Since I have read the books multiples I was happy to see my expectations of the movie was not dissappointed.

1.) I loved the facial expressions Edward (Robert Pattinson made during some of the scenes).

2.) I loved how they did the ending credits with anyone who was in any of the Twilight movies with their pictures. It was a sweet way of the ending of the Twilight Saga, not just Breaking Dawn: Part 2. I also that it was a nice touch that for Bella, Edward, and Jacob they put up their introduction pages from the Twilight book since this all started with the first book.

3.) I am still totally Team Charlie and Emmett. They have the best lines in all the movies that make me laugh.

4.) I like who they showed they quick growth of Renesmee with Carlisle marking in against the wall ruler. Very creative.

5.) I loved the End Credits song by Nikki Reed and her husband American Idol contestant Paul McDonald.
