Movie News:
The first pictures from the set of City of Bones have been popping up all over the place. I was a bit skeptical about Jamie as Jace but after seeing this picture I can kind of start to see it.

This is such a helpful post, Katie! I think it’d be awesome if you did more, even though it seems like you spent lots of time working on this.
There are some seriously awesome e-book deals going on! I just bought Storm, and am really looking forward to reading it.
I’m not fond of Jace in the TMI movie, it’s not what I imagined him as. But I do really like Clary and Simon!!
Thanks for doing this Katie! I really hope that you continue on with this feature. =)
Nice job Katie!! Reallllyy liking this!! Keeping me updated on all bookish news! I really love it! Though I still don’t like Jamie as Jace, he looks like a girl and im really not liking that! and LOVELY covers! Thanks for sharing!

i thought the same thing about Jamie! You’re not alone!
Can you say awesomeness?
This is such useful post! Keep doing these posts because they are really awesome! I’m really excited for the Mortal Instruments, but I was never a really huge fan of Jamie, but I can start seeing the resemblance!
I love this! You should definitely do more News for Nerds, as long as you have time. It looks like you put in a lot of effort on this post, so thanks:)
Amazing haul this week! Definitely have to check out some of these free books!
LOVE this post! Definitley keep doing them. 🙂
This is a really great post ! You should keep doing that kind of posts =)
I love the covers for Spies and Prejudice and Tides. They are sooo pretty !
I really like this post! It has lots of things I’d like to know all in one. I can’t wait for more posts like this. 🙂
I like these type of posts and you had me with the title ^^ Love it! I’m going to take a look at all the links you’ve mentioned. I especially like the one with the movies. So thanks for sharing!
Gahahaahah I didn’t know they were making a City of Bones movie 🙂 So excited now! I also heard from a friend that they are making a movie (possibly) of Divergent in 2015. So happy that good books are being turned into hopefully good movies! Sierra
Keep growing beautiful!
I really don’t like the actor they have for Jace … honestly, when I saw pictures of him and the actress playing Clary together before filming, I thought it was TWO GIRLS. I don’t know … I expected a more manly Jace.
This is a great post! I’ve already opened up a few of your links and can’t wait to read them. I’ve already read ALL the Parajunkee posts and loved them … they were quite informative!
Keep this up! 🙂
Hahahaha, I agree I thought he would have more muscles. Sierra
Keep growing beautiful!
Yes! Deffinettly keep this up. I love seeing what books are new and loved… Super cool. From cover reveals, based on the cover, I would buy The Rules, Tides, and Conjure.

I love this post… definitely keep it up. It’s great to get news from other blogs because we all find different things!
News for Nerds – I really love this! Great compilation of bookish news items 🙂
Yeah, I really, really, really don’t see Jamie as Jace! 😛 I’m not a fan at all. Oh well! I don’t like Lily Collins as Clary either. I just saw them both totally different. *shrugs*
Wow, Katie! This post looks like it took a lot of time to create, but it’s so informative and helpful! 🙂 I was a bit skeptical about Jamie playing Jace as well, but I guess I’m used to it now. I’m not that excited for the movie, for some reason. I don’t know. I guess I’m just burned out of YA book-to-movie adaptations. Sigh. And wow, so many gorgeous covers! Thanks so much for this awesome post, Katie, and I’ll be looking forward to more of them. <3 🙂
A fabulous post thank you!! Lots to see & read.
Amazing post! Thanks so much, Katie!

I loved this post so much Katie! I totally want to see more of them 😀
Yes!! I would love to see more of these posts! Thank you!
Storm was a great beginning to a series, but I preferred the sequels! LOVE those boys! Hope Brigid Kemmerer’s last book in the series blows us away with its awesomeness 🙂
