Wowza, Zoella's book BROKE RECORDS for a debut title, selling over 70,000 copies in the UK in its first week. This is more than JKR's HP sold. Whaat.
So, how did she do it? How did BJ Novak from the Office write a bestselling children's picture book?
If you were not already aware of this, Daniel Handler made some racist comments while handing Jacqueline Woodson her NBA award. He's been trying to make up for it. He donated $110,000 to We Need Diverse Books. Meanwhile here's Woodson's very thoughtful piece about what happened.

You can get a sample of Simon Teen novels all this month. And same with Scholastic titles, for the most part.

Cover Reveals:
The Queen of the Tearling - Erika Johansen, paperback
Discussion/Other Blogger Posts:
A call for more books set in the Middle East so that American and UK children can understand the conflict. (This sounds like a good idea in general, but my question would be: would kids actually read this? Do they care enough?) But looks like there's a market for teen lit in the Arab world.

Movies/TV Shows:
The first picture from the set of A Monster Calls (by Patrick Ness).
Channing Tatum will be directing the adaptation of Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock by Matthew Quick. Apparently Matthew Quick is considered a rather powerful author in Hollywood.
Stories to Tell in the Dark, which is apparently a really creepy children's novel, is getting an adaptation as well.
A picture from the Paper Towns set.
A picture from the 5th Wave set. Another picture here too.
How is the adaptation of Panic coming along?
So Mockingjay was successful at the box office and has inspired several articles on how it's challenging gender roles, which I sort of agree with. I didn't think of Peeta as a damsel in distress.
I don't post about adult adaptations that I'm not interested in, though there's been more news on that front here. If you're more interested in adaptations in general, here's a decent round-up (e.g. making Asimov's Foundation into an HBO series, making Margaret Atwood's Maddaddam book trilogy into a show, JKR's Casual Vacancy, etc.).
Follow the schedule for the Exquisite Captive Blogger Caravan relay -- you’ll have a chance to win the book but only during a 24 hour period on each blog. Goes through 12/04.
Adventures in Children's Publishing giveaways: 12/7, 12/8, 12/15.
Giveaways listed at Saturday Situation by Lori of Pure Imagination and Candace of Candace's Book Blog.
Don't forget to enter YABC's giveaways for the month.

ReplyDeleteGifts:
ReplyDeleteThose book scented candles are awesome, I'd love to have one from the Etsy shop where they sell HP scented candles. Ha, the owl book holder is pretty cool. I could use that for my glasses. I like the idea from those tights, but I don't think the placement really works. And bookish totes & mugs are always welcome.
Anticipated books for December:
I still need to read These broken stars, I might do it this month, it sounds like a book for Winter. No place to fall is on my e-reader, although I've heard some mixed things about it. PRINCESS OF THORNS. No surprise that I'm excited about this one, haha. I need to catch up with Rhodes' series. Suspicion sounds amazing, but I've read the first couple of negative reviews and.. mweh.
I'm sending that Guide to dating a booknerd to my boyfriend, I think he can identify with a lot of those points.
Thanks, Kaylie! They do take forever to make. That's why I have to separate out the days I can do everything - like adding discussion in later, now skimping a bit on giveaways. Keeping up with cover reveals throughout the week.... So thank you for visiting & I hope you enjoyed the post!
ReplyDeleteHP SCENTED CANDLES. Anytime I hear the traditional HP song, it gets me going... a candle would do WONDERS. Etsy comes up with some of the coolest stuff - or the coolest stuff gets put there because of the coolest people. Whichever way it goes ahhaha. I'm curious what you'll think of These Broken Stars. I'm on a more... minority like side, I guess you could say. Hehehehe enjoy Princess of Thorns! I actually really liked Alexandra Monir's first book, but didn't really realize she had another coming out and then by the time I did I lost track of it again until recently, like you, seeing negative reviews. Send that dating guide to your bf! I was considering sending it out to people myself ;).
