Beastly Movie: Creating the Perfect Beast

Here's a little talk with the behind the scenes people of how they actually got Alex Pettyfer to become the beast of Beastly, it's really kinda cool.

Book Talk: Beastly

Hey guys! SO, I was strolling the bookstore one day, and 'Beastly' caught my eye. Okay, you guys might've already heard of it, or read it before - because it was published a few years ago. But still, I decided to take some time to write down what I thought about it.
This was one of the best books I've read. Not only was it well written; the message the story conveyed was beautiful. Although you may think this was just another Beauty and the Beast story, which it sort of is; the way it was set in a modern world showed how we really judge a book by its cover.
This particular part was interesting to me: where Adrian (the Beast) said he used to blame the environment he grew up in for his mistakes and horrible character. Some people get commented on their bad behaviors and they just throw all the blame on their surroundings, their family, their parents. But really, the choice is up to us. Lindy (the 'Beauty') grew up also with a screwed up father, no mom - slightly similar to Adrian's family background (except the wealth and fame) - but she grew up being a woman that cared about people in the inside. Well, she loved Adrian in the end. (is that a spoiler?)

But yeah, my point is: it's hard not to judge people by their looks (I'll admit that), but before we assume their character by their outer appearance, why not get to know them first?

*Guys, I know this is totally not my best written book talk, it's kinda confusing, I'm sorry. But with all the thoughts jumbled up, this is what I came up with. Well, the last sentence is kinda like my main point. So if you didn't get the first part, I hope the last point covers it up.

Another news! Guys, if you don't like reading, or if you loved the book as much as I did and wanna watch a movie based on it - go check this out:

Well obviously, it's starring Vanessa Hudgens as Lindy, and Alex Pettyfer as Adrian. It's not the best, and doesn't really do the book justice, but go check it out just for some fun.

Books to look out for in 2014!

Blood of Olympus (by Rick Riordan)

Of course, our favorite group of demigods, travelling towards the ancient land that would either bring them salvation or the end of the world. Let us read this final conclusion to the series that might be the end of the portal to the magical camps of both Greek and Roman demigods. (We can only hope for another series of crossovers between the Egyptians and the Greeks (and the Romans))

Waterfall (by Lauren Kate)

I'm really looking forward to the release of this book, can't wait to find out what Eureka's gonna have in her way. Also waiting on how Ander's gonna break her heart, if he ever did. Poor Brooks, only surviving because of his memories with Eureka when she is already with another guy right now. *sigh*

The Queen (by Kiera Cass)

I was so sad when the Selection series ended, though it was concluded beautifully. But this book is a key to another Selection, which is awesome for me. Also, I really like Queen Amberly.

Here we have it, the books I'm so looking forward to this year and we should all look out for!

Teardrop by Lauren Kate

Hey, so I've been hunting for new books that would fill up my spare time with some new inspiration. And this particular book had attracted me with its beautiful cover. Though it's not exactly new or anything (it was released in 2013), but I thought it was worth the read and I started digging through it. My thoughts on this book are as follows:

1) I love the cover. I said that before and want to say it again. The colors were very calming and beautiful.

2) I would like the book even better if it were written in first person. I don't dislike the book just because of what perspective it was written from, but because I'm used to reading first persons - I would enjoy it more if it were.

3) I thought the main character's name was funny at first.

4) I've read books with love triangles a lot, but I think this is one of the most conflicting love triangles I've ever read about. (I still am on Team Ander anyways - though I'm kinda worried about the part where Eureka's mother said that he might be the one who was going to break her heart.)

5) I sort of hated Brooks somewhere in the middle of the book when he started being a jerk, but the epilogue was such a change in my mental image of him. How he described of his feelings for Eureka in the last pages make me feel bad for him.

6) One question: Does Eureka love Brooks as a brother or something more?

There you go, my comments for this wonderful new book I've discovered during the hunt. And I'm still waiting for its sequel to come out this October! Watch out for Waterfall people!! (pun intended) or not)
