Waiting on Wednesday (41) + Eclipse Midnight Premiere Mini Review!

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that I'm eagerly awaiting. This week I can't wait for Wired by Robin Wasserman which is the third and final book in the Skinned trilogy. I loved the first two, so I'm excited and a little sad to see how the story ends. The plot is very unique, and the characters are amazing! Can't wait to read it when it comes out this September 14, 2010.

Wired: Skinned Book 3

By: Robin Wasserman

Description from Amazon:
----------------------------------------
One year ago, Lia Kahn died.

 A few days later, she woke up.

She had a new body: Mechanical, unfeeling, inhuman. She had a new family: Mechs like her, who didn’t judge her for what she could no longer be. She had a new life, one that would last forever.

At least, it was supposed to.
But now everything Lia thought she knew has turned out to be a lie; everyone she thought she loved has been stolen away. And someone is trying to get rid of the mechs, once and for all. Lia will risk everything to save herself and the people she can’t live without. But not before facing one final truth: She can’t save everyone.

I went to go see Eclipse for the midnight premiere last night, and wow it was really good! My movie theater had 7 theaters open, and all were extremely packed! I got there an hour early and knew that we would get crappy seats. We theater hopped to a different less packed one and got second row seats instead of front row ones.

The movie had pretty much everything from the book but just very different. A lot of the events were switched up but everything was mostly there. There was lots of kissing too lol! The actor who played Riley was really good, but the new Victoria acted a tad weird. Also surprising they added a lot about the newborns, Riley, and Bree Tanner which was pretty interesting. I highly recommend seeing it because it was much better than the first two. Now I can't wait to see the next two parts of Breaking Dawn!

The Best and Worst of Covers (10)

Every Saturday, I post book covers I love and dislike from books I've read. I include information for each book: the edition, summary, publisher, number of pages, reading level, and my thoughts of the cover. This week it's Twilight saga themed because the New Moon movie is coming out next weekend, so the covers I love are Twilight and New Moon by Stephenie Meyer. I like all the covers but those two are my favorites. Once again I don't have a cover I dislike, but oh well they're just so many great covers lately. I'm going at midnight on Thursday to see the movie, so I'm really excited! Also, I just found out from my swim team coach he changed the first day of swim practice to Friday the 20th instead of Monday, so I'm going to be kind of tired that day...

Author: Stephenie Meyer

Twilight Summary (from Goodreads):
Isabella Swan's move to Forks, a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever made. But once she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen, Isabella's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Isabella, the person Edward holds most dear. The lovers find themselves balanced precariously on the point of a knife-between desire and danger.Deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite.

New Moon Summary (from Goodreads):
Legions of readers entranced by Twilight are hungry for more and they won't be disappointed. In New Moon, Stephenie Meyer delivers another irresistible combination of romance and suspense with a supernatural twist. The "star-crossed" lovers theme continues as Bella and Edward find themselves facing new obstacles, including a devastating separation, the mysterious appearance of dangerous wolves roaming the forest in Forks, a terrifying threat of revenge from a female vampire and a deliciously sinister encounter with Italy's reigning royal family of vampires, the Volturi. Passionate, riveting, and full of surprising twists and turns, this vampire love saga is well on its way to literary immortality.

Thoughts of the Covers:

I really love the beautiful covers of the Twilight saga! New Moon's flower is so pretty and elegant, it just is my favorite cover. I also really like the apple and the idea of "forbidden fruit" on the Twilight cover. The big, black covers of the books are instantly recognizable to any Twilight junkie, and the font Zephyr is has become the "Twilight font." I just love the story and characters, and I know everyone is basically sick of the Twilight phenomenon, but I still love the books. I hope the New Moon movie will a lot better than the first!

What are your thoughts on these covers?
