~*positive thinking*~

Since my blog posts are usually filled with many complaints and negativity, I'd thought I'd make today a ~happy blog day.~ Here are some happy bookish thoughts:

1. I know I said it on Wednesday, but I seriously love how involved the Vampire Academy movie folks are over on the facebook page! I stalk it daily. I seriously hope the series gets made into films, because I think, if done right, they could be truly fantastic. (Also I would like to see Adrian and Dimitri on the big screen.)

2. Have any of you read Flipped by Wendelin Vaan Draanen? I saw the trailer for the movie recently and it looks cute!




Is the book any good? Wondering if I should read it and then hunt down someone to see the movie with me.

Also, for some I reason I picture Peeta from The Hunger Games as the boy in the trailer.

3. A bunch of new people followed my blog this week (thanks to my Clockwork Angel contest, I'm positive). HELLO NEW PEOPLE. I like you already.

4. Jessica over at Chick Lit Teens has inspired me to make this week my rereading week. Some review books I read so long ago that I've now forgotten much of what I wanted to say about them *cough* Also I want to reread a few favorites I haven't got to reread in a while (other than my ongoing rereadings of The Outsiders) so I am looking forward to it!

5. Speaking of The Outsiders, I must say that I lovelovelove that book. It's probably because of that book that you're reading this now.

Do you have anything positive to share with me, cool people?

  1. I read Flipped back when I was in, like, sixth or seventh grade. It's a cute story... nothing life-changing or absolutely mind-blowing, but entertaining. Definitely worth a couple of rereads. And I'm delighted because I just found that I still own my copy.
    I didn't even know this was going to be made into a movie, though. It looks pretty faithful to the book, and I LOVE that they decided to set it in the 50's. I'll definitely watch it.

    I can see why you picture the kid as Peeta. Maybe if he were older and stockier.

  2. Ah! I remember seeing the cover around quite a bit but never picked it up. I definitely will now. Flipped looks awesome!

  3. I read Flipped back when it first came out and it enjoys steady circulation at my school library, mostly among fifth and sixth graders. It's cute and funny and definitely worth a read.

    The movie looks adorable. I didn't know it was optioned. Thanks for sharing it.

  4. Ooh, I remember "Flipped"! I read it when I was nine, so 5th grade-ish. Or maybe I was ten? Something like that. It was a cute story. Actually, I think it was the first romance I ever read.

    PEETA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THAT TRAILER? HMM?

  5. I hated reading until I read The Outsiders in middle school! So, I guess that's why I'm here too! :)

  6. Aww, Flipped looks so cute! I definitely want to read the book before I see it. And I love The Outsiders! I need to reread that one, too :)

  7. Wow, I read this novel back when I was like 6th grade or something. I never really saw that it took place a few decades back! From what I remembered, it was definitely a cute read. One that still stuck out to me today. I read many books when I was younger but this is one of the few that I still remember most of.

  8. Ok, I haven't ever heard of Flipped, but it seems to be sooo cute. And The Boy in the trailer totally looks like Peeta. Really.
    And, hi :D thanks for liking me already! XD

  9. Flipped is a totally sweet and adorable story. They are setting the movie in the 50s, but the book is set in present day. It's short and it's a feel-good story, for sure.

  11. I completely agree about the Vampire Academy fanpage! I joined after you posted about it the first time and have made a bunch of posts stating my opinions. I love how they're involving the fans so much - I hope they really ARE listening and I also hope other producers start following along.

    We had to read Flipped in 8th grade. I hated it.

  13. Hello!
    Yes I'm one of the newbies... Anyway I liked the book Flipped, but wait to see the movie before reading the book... You now how it is if you read the book, the movie sucks. I can't see the trailer because my computer's slow, but I LOVE Peeta. One Peeta fan in the midst of a town full of Gale fans!
