New Release Buzz: Feb. 28th, 2012
There are a few books that we’re pretty excited to check out this week: What a scoundrel wants, a scoundrel gets . . .

Spotlight: Wanderlove by Kirsten Hubbard
It all begins with a stupid question: Are you a Global Vagabond? No, but 18-year-old Bria Sandoval wants to be. In a quest for independence, her neglected art, and no-strings-attached hookups, she signs up for a guided tour of Central America—the wrong one. Middle-aged tourists with fanny packs are hardly the key to self-rediscovery. When Bria meets Rowan, devoted backpacker and dive instructor, and his outspokenly humanitarian sister Starling, she seizes the chance to … Read entire article »

Trailer of the Week: Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter
I decided that this week’s featured video would be another movie trailer. I had seen this one around in its book form and was curious about the read. Now, having seen the images in the movie preview, I want more! Check it out for yourself: I love the Johnny-Cash-esque-talk over the action. (Or is it really the Man in Black himself?) This looks to have some great special effects and putting vampires into historical setting can … Read entire article »

Excerpt: Changeling by Philippa Gregory
Mel and I often talk about historicals and how well they translate in YA form. I have to admit, I haven’t tried that many to have a decent opinion, but I know Mel hasn’t been a big fan, to date. But, I think there’s one woman out there that will sway both of our opinions on the matter: Philippa Gregory. I’m excited to share with you the just-released excerpt from her new YA series, Order … Read entire article »

Monday’s Media Madness (3)
This past week has been filled with videos, music, and news footage about Whitney Houston. I was certainly no exception. After watching some of the funeral live, I decided it was time to introduce my daughter to the wonders of The Bodyguard. How many of you out there took the time to re-watch this classic movie? I also plugged in the ear buds for a little more than an audiobook over the weekend. Listening to my … Read entire article »
