Hey guys! Becca here with a super special guest post from Marie Lu for THE MIDNIGHT STAR Blog Tour! I'm so excited that Reading Teen had the chance to pry a tiny bit into Marie's mind and find out some of her favorite/best superpowers ever, so without further blah blah from me, here's Marie... Top 5 Best/Favorite Superpowers Ever 5. Flying. I’ve had enough awesome flying dreams to know I’d like to do this, but only if I also don’t get my skin ripped off by all the crazy wind. 4. Metalbending. Magneto—and Toph—are pretty formidable. I would like to be formidable too, inside my custom metal armor. 3. Billionaire-ing. Let’s face it—money seems to buy all the superpowers you could ever desire. Iron suit that lets you fly? Check. Utility belt that does everything? Check. Batmobile? Check. Plus, you get to have a pretty nice house, too. 2. Traveling through space in the blink of eye. (Safely, of course.) If I could hop from galaxy to galaxy in a safe li...

By Becca... I'm super duper excited about today's blog tour post, because I get to write about which Monday I would love to relive for seven days straight and which Monday I would LEAST like to relive over and over for 7 days. I'm not saying that some of these things happened in real life and I'm not saying that they didn't. Maybe I made it all up! I'll never tell!  My FAVORITE Monday I'd LOVE to relive would consist of: Being back in Orlando, with all of my book buddies at ALA, talking books and finding new ones to love. I never realized that I had a niche of people who were just like me until I went out and found them. Being from Oklahoma, it's kind of hard to find some peeps who like to spend all their time thinking, living, and breathing books, but finding a place where you're surrounded by them and books as well? Well, that's a no-brainer! I'd love to spend the same Monday I did last week, over and over again, because it...

Hey guys! We have a super special guest post from The School For Good & Evil's author, Soman Chainani today! Without further blabbing from me, I give you Soman! (Also, be sure to enter the EPIC GIVEAWAY at the bottom of this post!) Reading Teen: Can you talk about the upcoming movie? Soman:  The rights to THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD & EVIL were purchased outright by Universal Pictures in late 2013. Over the next year and a half, I wrote the script along with Malia Scotch Marmo, the screenwriter of HOOK and MADELINE, and who also was my professor at Columbia Film School, when I studied writing and directing there. The film will be produced by Joe Roth (ALICE IN WONDERLAND, MALEFICENT, SNOW WHITE & THE HUNTSMAN) and Jane Startz (TUCK EVERLASTING, ELLA ENCHANTED), and will come out on Christmas, 2017. The movie will just cover the first book, with the hopes that the sequels will address each of the following books in the series. Having written the movie myself, I tried to st...

   Anabel Unraveled  by Amanda Romine Lynch Print Length:  379 pages Publisher:  eLectio Publishing (February 2, 2015) Sold by:  Amazon Digital Services, Inc. Language:  English ASIN:  B00T57AJFU Free on Kindle Unlimited Anabel Unraveled is a special book to me, because it was the first novel that I actually finished. Before AU, I had started and stopped books many, many times. I hit a wall. I got into a situation that I couldn't find a way out of. But when I started my heroine Anabel’s story, I knew it was special. I knew she was special. Heck, I even knew that Jared was special, even though he made for a pretty intense antihero. And so, every time I got into a rough place, I toughed through it. I forced myself to write, even during the times that I didn’t want to, and I could not believe it when, at almost 150K words, I had finished. I had finished a book. It was a crazy, powerful, euphoria-laced feeling, one that I clung t...

"Read My Books" review by Natalie Sleep No More by Aprilynne Pike Hardcover: 352 pages Publisher: HarperTeen (April 29, 2014) Language: English Goodreads | Amazon Charlotte Westing has a gift. She is an Oracle and has the ability to tell the future. But it doesn't do her much good. Instead of using their miraculous power, modern-day Oracles are told to fight their visions—to refrain from interfering. And Charlotte knows the price of breaking the rules. She sees it every day in her wheelchair-bound mother and the absence of her father. But when a premonition of a classmate's death is too strong for her to ignore, Charlotte is forced to make an impossible decision: continue following the rules or risk everything—even her sanity—to stop the serial killer who is stalking her town. First, I would like to thank Andye for giving me a copy of Sleep No More to read, thank you so much!!!! Going in to this book, I had absolutely no idea what it was about except ...
