Cassandra Clare posted three new Clockwork Prince teasers on her Twitter.
Will: “Tess,” he said, and she thought, once again, how no one but him ever called her that. “That is all I think about.”
Tessa: “Jem!” she cried again, and when he did not look up, she strode across the room, and wrenched the bow out of his hand. “Jem, stop!”
Unattributed: “I would die for you, you know that.”
Hunger Games Movie Update
The EW.com has released the official date for the movie:
March, 23 2012
From the EW:
“Game on! Lionsgate has announced to EW that The Hunger Games, the highly anticipated adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ futuristic YA thriller about scrapper Katniss Everdeen and her fight to survive a brutal reality TV contest, will be released on March 23, 2012. Director Gary Ross recently revealed to EW that he aims to go into production of the first installment of Collins’ trilogy later this spring.”
Casting Director
The Hunger Games has also gotten Zebra Zane as their official casting director. Also, there will not be any open casting calls, nor should you send in photos or resume.
“Also, just wanted to put this here too. I intern at a major casting office (not Debra Zane Casting, but they all work in a similar manner.) If you send in headshots / information / an acting resume to their office it WILL be thrown away. Doing so will just create more work for them. I know, I’m the intern that throws away a bunch of packages from hopeful actors without agents without even opening them. It’s unfortunate, but if they were going to look at people that don’t have an agent / aren’t part of a talent agency then they would just do an open call. Also, if you were planning on casting a movie, would you want people who have NO experience? Like, if I wanted to hire someone to fly a plane, I’d get someone who knew how. There are many actors out there that are completely unknown but do have experience.”

As most of my Maximum Ride readers know, the seventh Maximum Ride book, Angel, will be available for us in late February, but I have just gotten news that the eighth and FINAL Maximum Ride novel will come out next year.
James Patterson has confirmed on Max-Dan-Wiz saying:
“FANG in paperback hit stores on Tuesday and ANGEL will be out in February but the end is near. And Breaking News: the eighth and final installment of Maximum Ride will come out in 2012. How will it all end for Max and her flock?”
I am completely shocked that the end of the series will be next year. I always imagine Maximum Ride lasting forever, but I guess everything must end eventually.

Thanks guys for all of the support in 2010!
“Orphaned as a baby, Harry Potter has spent 11 awful years living with his mean aunt, uncle, and cousin Dudley. But everything changes for Harry when an owl delivers a mysterious letter inviting him to attend a school for wizards. At this special school, Harry finds friends, aerial sports, and magic in everything from classes to meals, as well as a great destiny that’s been waiting for him…if Harry can survive the encounter. From an author who has been compared to C. S. Lewis and Roald Dahl, this enchanting, funny debut novel won England’s National Book Award and the prestigious Smarties Prize.”
was not ready to commit to because I had so many other books I wanted to read. Although, I knew it wouldn’t be long before I read them.
It’s officially a new year, and I am sure most of you have spent the night awake welcoming it with open arms. The new year is often categorized with resolutions, a way to make a fresh start. This year, I would also like to make a “New Year’s Resolution.”
I am sorry for the lack of posting in the past couple months. It has not been easy for me to get hold of a computer, but access has officially been made easier and I can post regularly again. Therefore, this year will be packed with new posts, reviews, contests, interviews, and news from The World of Books.
Thank you to all loyal fans who have stuck with me since the beginning, and thank you to all my new fans that just entering The World of Books.
Happy New Years and thanks again!
