I can't believe its about to be a movie!! But I'm with u about how stressful movie adaptations can be. I just saw The Hunger Games for the first time and it got some getting used to...not bad but not as great as I expected.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668474264904498998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158531286462009257.post-83307283373640291862012-08-26T21:35:34.572-04:002012-08-26T21:35:34.572-04:00Though I'm one who never thinks the movie will...Though I'm one who never thinks the movie will live up to the book, I like that they are adapting so many of the great YA books for movies. Two of my "kids" and two of my friends teach upper middle school and though two are not English teachers, they all keep a "lending library" in their homeroom of the recent YA releases and often once a YA movie comes out they see a surge of readers wanting these book. And anything that will get them to pick up a book and read, I applaud. I contribute any suitable YA books to them after I've read them and they always have a wishlist for me to read for them. Such a chore! :)alterlisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05011578082332854263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158531286462009257.post-8541833838155037872012-08-26T14:31:54.434-04:002012-08-26T14:31:54.434-04:00Yay!!

Mary Higgins Clark. The rest are total unknowns to me. NoraAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14820850644240626655noreply@blogger.com
