A Book Lovers Holiday Gift Guide [Part 1]

Have you ever wondered what to get your friends who are in love with books? I don't know how many times I've gotten asked which books are good and which books are in right now. So I decided to create a small gift guide to what you can buy your friends this Christmas. And let us begin.

First let's start off with books that have been turned into movies that will be coming out soon.




     

Those four above are 4 of the many anticipated movies that will be released in cinema's in the year 2013. If I were to include all of the movies we'd be here for days because inspirations comes from books in bunches! Now depending what you're into you might be able to find these books interesting.

If you love demon fighters and an interesting story-line, City of Bones is just for you. Into magic and forbidden love, Beautiful Creatures is exactly what you want. If you want to read a different kind of love story with a bit of humor between a human and a zombie, Warm Bodies has it all. Or if you're looking for alien invasion, The Host will seep into your mind and take over.

So now the next category will be Dystopian books that I extremely enjoyed. 

     

These three books are some of the best Dystopian books I have ever read and I can say has graced us with their presence. Everyone knows what The Hunger Games is so I don't even have to explain. But, Gone features a world where everyone over the age of 15 in this small town in California disappears and the kids are left to defend themselves in a bubble where animals have mutated along with the kids who are gaining powers. The Maze Runner is like a cross between the other two where kids have to find their way out of a maze they were put in with no memory of their past.

The next category has to be Adult Fantasy. Three different book series that every adult should read for sure.

     

There's not much that I can say about these three series except that they are high fantasy, action packed, full of adventure and all of that good stuff. Sword of Truth and Wheel of Time series are like close to 1,000 pages each book with over 10 books in the series and they are gooooood. Where A Game of Thrones is seven books of greatness and epicness! The Night Angel Trilogy is a great story about an assassin that deserves to become a show on HBO. If you're into cunning assassins and murder everywhere, this trilogy is for you.

I take up more places on the internet! =O

Cover Reveal: The Kill Order by James Dashner

When James Dashner announced that he would be adding a fourth novel to The Maze Runner Series, everyone went crazy. When he announced that it would be a prequel, everyone grew deaf from the screams. But now that the cover is finally out, Chaos walks the grounds of Earth! Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the cover of.......

The Kill Order by James Dashner!

I know I'm a bit late but in my defense I was at work and they prohibit us from using the phone. So while I was able to sneak a look at the cover at 9, I wasn't able to post anything about it. But either way I'm here now.

Let me start by saying, this is by far the best cover of the series in my opinion! I am in LOVE with it! The whole thing screams Dystopian to me and with it being my favorite genre I am freaking out with how good it looks. I love the fire on the houses and how everything towards the front looks dead and in ruins. Love the sun at the top burning and looking as if it is about to explode.

The cover reminds me of The Scorch Trials so it kinda looks like a before and after. But I seriously love how if you look behind the ruins, and the cracked floors and fire you see a peaceful beautiful neighborhood. James Dashner said that this book won't be what we expect. Thinking that because it's a prequel, I seriously thought it would be mostly talk and such but looking at the cover, it looks like it's going to be action packed and chaotic!

The book will be released August 14th and I need to pre-order my copy right now!

Let me know what you all think about the cover as well!

Back To The Stacks - Late Giveaway

I'm a bad person. At least my work made me a bad person. Saturday was the Back To The Stacks Giveaway hosted by Loud Words & Sounds and because of work and all, I literally forgot all about it until I got home at night and saw an email reminding me to post. But because I said I would join in, I'm still hosting the giveaway! There will be a winner! I will make sure of that!

So what will I be giving away?

1 Person will win a Hardcover copy of one of the books between the three.

Either; The Hunger Games

Why did I choose these three? Because I'm all about Dystopian and so I wanted to introduce people to one of the series and get more people to love them like I do.

What are the rules though?
