Book News Tidbits and Whatnot
Sooo… long time no post ey?
Interesting Book News:
1. Percy Jackson Series by Rick Riordan is awesome. Go out and read it NOW! Oh! and the first book is going to be a movie, Percy Jackson: Lightning Thief, released on February 12th, 2010.
2. A teen author’s Angel trilogy was just bought by Feiwel and Friends. It sounds promising.
3. Warner Bros. bought the movie rights for Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. Just received this book in the mail, so looking forward to reading it.
4. Lies by Michael Grant cover was revealed. Very Similar to the first book’s cover, but still great.
5. Hunger Games 3 release date was announced. (It’s August 24, 2010 for all of you who don’t know.)
6. Lord Sunday by Garth Nix cover was revealed. LOVE IT.
7. The Eagle of the Ninth Movie Adaption includes the cast of Channing Tatum, star of GI Joe: Rise of the Cobra and Fighting and also Jamie Bell star of Jumper and Defiance. Intended to be released in 2010. One word, AWESOME!
8. The Maze Runner was a grim and morbid masterpiece. Two more books will be in this trilogy, with the second titled The Scorch Trials. Looking forward to that.
9. Oh and if you enjoyed the Percy Jackson series (which you will!), Riordan has already begun a new series, The Kane Chronicles. Book one is titled The Red Pyramid, and its centered around Carter Kane, 14, and his sister, Sadie, 12, descendants of Egyptian magicians who battle gods accidentally released in the present. Sure to be a Bestseller, if you want my opinion.
10. The 2009 Kirkus Reviews Book Video Awards began a few months ago. I’ll have to look up the winners, but the voting came down to three videos, The Maze Runner, Fallen, and Very LeFreak. Exciting stuff.
And all sorts of other thrilling topics.

Percy Jackson is definitely awesome. I just started the final, 5th book today, and I’m looking forward to finishing that over the holidays. They’re very addictive reads. The movie looks good from what I’ve seen so far too.
Thanks for the heads up on Riordan’s new series. I look forward to it.
Also, if you’re into urban fantasy novels, check out either the ‘Mercy Thompson’ series by Patricia Briggs, or ‘The Dresden Files’ by Jim Butcher. Both are amazing!
