" I prayed for," she said dully. "He was my special boy. I went to the sept and prayed seven times to the seven faces of the god that Ned would change his mind and leave him here with me. Sometimes prayers are answered."

Jon did not know what to say. "It wasn't your fault," he managed after an awkward silence.

Her eyes found him. They were full of poison. "I need none of your absolution, bastard."

A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin

Trailer Thursday

Lately I have been addicted to book trailers and I can't get enough of them ( Especially the creative ones). HEre are some author/publishing produced  ones and user created content videos as well. Some of these trailers sent chills up my sleeves (arms?) .



The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins


Has to be one of the best book series I have ever read. A movie is also in the works.


Forever by Maggie Stiefvater


Forever has not been released yet but it will  be soon( actually on July 12, 2011). The first book Shiver I am still reading it( and its awesome) and the second book Linger is still there. So far I am loving it but at first I didnt. But soon It grew on me.

Teaser Tuesday: The Iron Duaghter by Julie Kagawa

 Not me. Puck's normal grin came flashing back. I've been gone for too long--long enough for anyone to forget that I ever went to high school. The most I'll get is a vague recollection, like  deja vu, but no one will really recognize me." He shrugged. One of the perks of being me."

This week’s musing asks…

Do you like movies made from books? Which ones do you think have been done well — kept mostly to the plot of the book, etc?

Some of my favorite books such as Eragon, Harry Potter, Ink heart have been made into movie is not necessary that they stick to the story line. I think if the movie can portray or even hint at the books intended meaning then its an ok movie for me. There is only so much you can fit into a 2 hour movie!

I think one of my favorite movies of all time (besides Harry Potter & Twilight) has to be the Golden Compass. I absolutely adored this movie and thought it came out better than the book. It really brought my imagination and I loved all the special a effects added in. It wasn't to pushy and didn't make me cringe. 

Another one I felt was better as a movie was "The Girl with A Dragon Tattoo" . Personally for me the book made me yack. For me it was completely utterly boring. I really couldn't figure out if it was the writing style or the lack of proper translation to get the feeling across. But then again I was never the one for this type of genre.

That is what I like about books made into movies it brings our imagination to a whole new level, into a more visual sense of being. I admit some books into movies suck but thats another meme for another Monday.

Question of The Books:Which Fictional Character are you in Love With?

The Story Sirens In My Mailbox series that she runs every Sunday, had a book I was interested in. It was called the Vampire Stalker by Allison Van Diepen. She said it was about a girl how falls in love with a fictional character from a book but it turns the character is not really fictional at all but is actually real!
 So I pose this questions to everyone:

You can post in the comments below or if you are a book blogger can post the link of your answer in the comments below. I will post my answer at the end of the week. I am really looking forward to everyone answers!
