Cast Them Away (5)

Hey Chroniclers! I am back with another edition of Cast Them Away, the meme where I choose an actress or actor to play a role of a character if a book were to become a movie. This week I'll be choosing an actress for a book I'm currently reading called Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare. A while ago I heard news that they were working on Clockwork Angel script and I immediately began thinking on who would play Tessa. I keep hearing a lot of people say Nina Dobrev which I can see it happening but today I saw a picture that I absolutely loved.

Now the thing is, I really want to know who the cover model is but Cassandra Clare won't reveal her name. She looks like the perfect Tessa and it would be cool if her acting was great because she could be cast in the role. But, I don't see that happening so therefore I must choose an actress.

Now I don't think I need to tell you guys what Clockwork Princess is all about aside from the fact that it is the final book in The Infernal Devices Trilogy. It's a really good trilogy and the thing about Tessa's character is that her role would expand over to The Mortal Instruments movie as well. I'm not saying how but it's there. So we need an actress who can fit in different time periods.

The person that I have chosen is....

Emilia Clarke!

You may know her as Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen. Khaleesi and mother of the three dragons, from the show Game of Thrones. We all know how bad ass she is. But can she do Victorian?

I think she can! She has the look for it, for sure. The picture reminds me of Tessa on the cover and I think that her look will definitely fit in different time periods. Tessa in The Infernal Devices is a Shapeshifter who gets mixed up with Shadowhunters and basically joins the team to kick ass and fight crime. Kind of.

 She's very proper and very poised but can still wield a weapon without a problem. I'm actually very excited for this movie more than City of Bones and I can't exactly say why. I just can't wait to see who gets cast as who. They're currently working on the script so it still may be a while before the movie comes out. I say it'll be released around City of Glass or after.

What do you guys think of Emilia Clarke as Tessa? Do you have anyone else in mind? Leave your comments down below and let us discuss! Are you excited for Clockwork Angel movie? Let me know!

Monday's Novel Talk (63)

Hey Chroniclers! I'm finally posting again and on such a good time too! The weather is AMAZING today. It's warm, the sun is hot, and I keep hearing birds singing. Spring has finally arrived and everyone knows that you read better during the Spring.

It's been a while since I posted one of these so I've done a bit of reading since then.

I finished A Storm of Swords by George R. R. Martin and it's seriously one of my favorite series. It ended with such a cliffhanger that I need to read the fourth book now, but I must wait! Season 3 of Game of Thrones started as well so I have something to quench my thirst for more. 5 out of 5 stars / O for Outstanding.

I finished reading Hidden by Sophie Jordan, the final book in the Firelight Trilogy and I was greatly disappointed. I gave it 2 out of 5 stars or a P for Poor. I think that the story of it all in general was lacking and could have all fit into one book. And for a series ending it lacked all the good things it should have given us.

I read Light by Michael Grant, the last book in the Gone series. I loved it so much and it was everything I asked for. I felt like one part was a bit sudden but overall it was literally everything I asked for. 5 out of 5 stars or a O for Outstanding.

I also finished The Rising by Kelley Armstrong the final book in The Darkness Rising Trilogy a companion trilogy to The Darkest Powers Trilogy. I gave it a 4 out of 5 stars / E for Exceeds Expectations because I felt that the ending could have been something different. She also said that she was done with that world for now but I feel like she should go back to it and give us what she promised.

I'm currently reading Endlessly by Kiersten White the third and final book in the Paranormalcy Trilogy. I'm only on Page 1 of 385 but I hope that if I read a lot today, I can finish it by tomorrow.

That's all I've been reading though! What have you guys been reading?

Monday's Novel Talk (62)

Hey Chroniclers! It's me again! This time I'm bringing you some Novel Talk a little earlier than I have in the past few weeks. Yay for being almost on time! lol

Since last week I have finished reading Guys Read: The Sports Pages edited by Jon Scieszka. I should be writing a review for it soon, just have to sit down and get to it.

I also finished reading The Namesake by Steven Parlato. It was such a good book and I should be writing a review for it soon as well. Seriously such a good book I loved it that much.

I also started reading A Storm of Swords by George R. R. Martin and I'm currently on Page 19 of 924. To finish by March 31 I divided the number of days by the number of pages and came to the conclusion that I need to read 66 pages per day. If I read more than that per day, I'll finish it sooner! I've missed reading this so I can't wait to see what goes down and I can't wait for the show to come back!

That's all I've been reading! What have you guys been reading? Leave your comments down below!

Monday's Novel Talk (61)

Hey Chroniclers! The day flew by so quick today! Before I knew it it was already 6 PM when I thought it was 12. But it's Monday again so I get to let you guys know how my reading has been going since last week!

I finally finished A Clash of Kings by George R. R. Martin in the early hours of Sunday morning! I said I was going to finish it Saturday but I was supposed to go out but then something went down and I didn't read nor did I go out. Of course I loved it and I can't wait to start book 3 but I must wait!

Now I'm currently reading Guys Read: The Sports Pages edited by Jon Scieszka. I'm on page 81 of 245 and it's a collection of 10 short stories about sports. Whether there's a point to the story or not, it's all about sports. I'm enjoying it. The first story was a funny one that had no point but it was entertainment. The second one was a bit eh but had a nice meaning to it and the third one ended with an oh snap that also had a valuable lesson to it.

I'll be reviewing this one shortly after I finish it so keep your eyes out for that.

And that's all I've been reading really! Hopefully I'll finish this one soon so I can start my next review book! What have you guys been reading? Leave your comments down below!

Stacking The Shelves (1)

Hello everyone and welcome to my first post of Stacking the Shelves. Stacking the Shelves is a new weekly meme hosted by the wonderful and ever-epic Tynga from Tynga's Reviews! In light of the recent event of drama around the blogging community, Tynga has took it upon herself to create a brand new way to showcase the books we received in the week. So goodbye to In My Mailbox and Hello to Stacking the Shelves.

Basically the name stands for the books we've received that will help stack our shelves higher than they already are. But if you want more information just check out the video in the bottom! (And comment on it too!)

Yep, that's Tynga up there so go to her blog and leave some epic comments.

Anyway, this week was pretty good and I got 4 books in total!

I bought A Storm of Swords by George R. R. Martin along with A Feast For Crows. Both books 3 and 4 in what we now call the Game of Thrones Series. I seriously can't wait to read these and Book 3 is a big ass book!

I received The Iron Thorn by Caitlin Kittredge from Random House by their RandomBuzz.com program.

I received an ARC The Lost Code by Kevin Emerson from Harper Collins Publishers through Goodreads.com

All of these books sound so freaking good and I seriously can't wait to read them! I might explode if I don't soon especially Game of Thrones! -dies-

Anyway, these are the books I've got! Leave your comments down below with links to your posts! Hopefully this week I get some more good books! =D
