Thanks to Tynga at Tynga's Reviews for hosting Stacking the Shelves every week!
No books this week, but I did get a couple of things that were book related. Which is just as good.
First, I got a signed Raven Boys bookplate from Maggie Stiefvater (if you haven't gotten one yet, check out THIS VIDEO for how to score one!).
Second, I brought home Beastly on DVD from Walmart (book is by Alex Flinn).
I will admit, I've never read the book. But watching the movie makes me want to. It's been one of those books that I keep picking up off the shelf at the book store and then putting it back. I really loved the movie though. It was short enough so that I didn't lose interest in it and I think Vanessa Hudgens and Alex Pettyfer were perfect in the roles that they played.
i'd like to see beastly too.
ReplyDeleteIt was very good. Even my mother loved it, and she's hated EVERY other movie I've picked out.
DeleteI have mixed feelings about the movie. I think it's mostly the ending that did it for me, I really like the alternate more than the one they stuck with. However, I LOVED the book, I keep meaning to reread it, but I haven't gotten around to it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the books are usually better than the movie anyway. But that means good things since I liked the movie. I did like the alternate ending because it reminded me more of the cartoon. :-P
