Good luck! I don't usually win anything either, but last week I won some Beautiful Creatures Swag that I plan on wearing when I go see the movie tonight! Woot woot! :D I seriously never win anything, so if I can win then you could too! :D

thank you!
off topic: did you guys read the NYT article about GR? here's the link
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/13/boo...
unfortunately, because of GR's continued growth we are experiencing a lot of errors and downtimes. Aside from that, spammers are now invading GR. I received something in my GR mail saying that I inherited something from a long lost relative! LOL!

i love souls screamers! team tod! i cant wait for the last book!
Watching Beautiful Creatures with my mom! :)
Oh wow :( I feel so bad for Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. The people who bought the movie rights to their books took something beautiful and just completely murdered it. This is why, should I ever write a book, I would never, never, never, EVER sell the rights to a book I wrote unless I wrote the screenplay (which I would make sure they had to follow to a T) and I had final say on all cast members. This makes me so sad. Beautiful Creatures is one of my all time favorite books and that movie was so very, very...wrong. That word covers everything. Everything was wrong. :(

It's that bad. Was any of the cast good? I guess it will be one I wait until DVD or it comes on TV.

Not her. We should buddy read it when it comes out :)
Jalyn, from all that you say, I'm not going a mile near that film!

Oh, and (really big spoilers here) (view spoiler) I can't imagine being the authors. I'd be heartbroken :(

Apparently, that's too good to be true! :'(
How can they cut up Link?? He is the best sidekick ever!!

He's in a scene at the beginning, like one in the middle, and two at the end. I can't remember him in any other scenes. Ethan rode in Link's car twice and that was about it. They didn't eat together at school and Link and Lena had like no interaction at all. Link is a huge part of the story so I have no idea why the powers that be decided that he was an unnecessary character. He has his own inbetweener novel, for crying out loud! The guy matters! Put him in more of the movie! Now I'm wondering what will happen in the next movie if they make one. Are they still going to involve Link in stuff or are they just going to cut him out?

HEY! Okay, I think i need recommendations from you guys. I have too many books on my mind that i wanna read that i couldn't settle on one. I'm about to finish a series already and at the point of tearing my head off, thinking of what books i should read next. hmm. :/P/s- Don't worry, Jalyn, I haven't forgotten on your suggestion about Alice in Zombieland yet! Hehe...
Thanks!
Ugh, that's terrible, Mishma. Sending prayers his way!On a lighter note, I love authors that reply on twitter. Does anyone follow Maureen Johnson? She's great.
I'll have to add Tammara Webber.

it's great world building, and there is something about Kaiden, the main character, that reminds me of Daemon.

Not sure if I can post this here so I am sorry if I cant! BUT I just posted my first movie review for beautiful creatures and I was wondering if everyone who has seen the movie (spoilers in the video) could watch it and give me feedback THANKS :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYYxLH...

I could really tell how upset this movie made you. I can't believe all tthe things not included! How could the authors have allowed it?! I'm not tempted to see this now in the least.
@Jalyn, I'm so sorry they butchered the book! I felt the same way about My Sister's Keeper and The Vow. Colleen Hoover and Lisa Genova are also good to get back. I was looking for the book cover I have of Slammed and couldn't find it anywhere, not even using the ISBN number so I PM'd Colleen. She said the book cover I have was literally out for an hour before a company purchased the rights to her book, so I'm probably the ONLY one with that cover. I just happened to buy it during that hour. I think that's really cool!!

I went with my mom and we were the only two people in the theater! I felt the same way as you! Though I liked Ethan a lot less than you did. He's a good actor and everything, but he didn't play Ethan right for me. Gah that movie was soooo disappointing! :(

Me too, Vicki! Me too :(
Jalyn, "me too" meaning you have the same cover with the couple on it?
Oops! I should have been more specific! Sorry!I meant that I'm also sorry that they butchered Beautiful Creatures.
Completely random thought:I use exclamation marks way too much! Lol :D
