Just a quick update to share a few things that I think are very cool:
2. The Hunger Games Trailer on MTV's VMA's. (OMG, that was a lot of acronyms. LOL.) Have you seen it? It's really short. My favorite part is the voice over, to be honest. I think I'm going to like Gale. I also think I might have a thing for Australian male actors in general, but I digress. Are you as excited about this movie as I am? March 23rd cannot come soon enough.
1. Lenore Appelhans is winding down another fantastic Dystopian August on her awesome blog, Presenting Lenore. Head over there for reviews and author interviews on some of the most exciting books on YA bookshelves, and on the horizon. If you like dystopian and/or post-apocalyptic fiction for teens, it's a must.

3. For fans of Game of Thrones, check out this incredible mash-up of the opening title song. I think I've listened to it 130 147 times over the past day.
4. I have a Facebook Author Page now, which actually felt like a much bigger milestone than I had anticipated. Thanks to those who have followed. Much appreciated.
A quick reminder that I'll be giving away a signed ARC of UNDER THE NEVER SKY. To enter, either follow the blog or leave a comment. Two more days left--good luck!

Finally, what a relief Irene has come and gone. I hope those of you in her path weren't' affected too much, and that you're safe and sound.
Have a great week, everyone.
Yes to Australian actors (Heath Ledger and Errol Flynn especially!). And thank you for the opportunity to procrastinate a little bit longer!
ReplyDeleteTotally, Katy. Must be something in the water in the land down under ; )
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that there is just something about Australian actors.
ReplyDeleteAlready following and Liked your Facebook page. Glad to hear you were unaffected :-)
I'm a bit concerned with Lenny Kravitz as Cinna, but who knows?
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to your book, and am glad I found you through Bret!
So true, Ryan. Fingers crossed for that one. Cinna is perhaps my favorite character of the series, next to Finnick. Thanks for visiting. Oh, and Bret who? Isn't there a 't' missing in his name?
ReplyDeleteOh, Veronica, don't try to drag Ryan Miller into your attempts at humor. He's a funny, funny man and deserves better.
ReplyDeleteAnd Russell Crowe in Master & Commander and Mel in his Road Warrior days and Bryan Brown in that one thing--oh my. Hadn't seen the trailer, thanks! I think JL as Katniss is smart casting. She was so good in Winter's Bone--still amazed I made it through that movie alive.
ReplyDeleteBig thanks for blogging, V! With Katy and Bret commenting it's almost like we're all in the same room. Oh, and my 'admiration' for Australian actors? (Ouch) goes way back to a young Sam Neill.
ReplyDeletePB - I knooowww! Love RC. Also Thor--ie Chris Hemsworth. There's just something about those Aussies. I say we start a fan club!
ReplyDeleteSusan-so good to see ya! I think I hit on something here. Next blog post: An Ode to Aussie Actors. Also... when are we doing coffee?
ReplyDeleteIt's true, we do grow very handsome actors down here. Let's not forget Daniel McPherson and Joel Edgerton. Or Richard Roxburgh! Simon Baker! The only problem is that we do insist on exporting them all...
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a roster, Amie. I do think I'll form a fan club ; ) And bummer about the exporting of handsomeness to Hollywood. It would be better if we could all just share. Thanks for visiting!
