Waiting On Wednesday (129) My Lady Jane by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton and Jodi Meadows

-


Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly blog post hosted by Breaking The Spine where readers showcase which books they are highly anticipating. This week I'm turning my spotlight on My Lady Jane by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton and Jodi Meadows

Expected Publication:
June 7, 2016 from Harper Teen



For fans of The Princess Bride comes the comical, fantastical, romantical, (not) entirely true story of Lady Jane Grey.

 Lady Jane Grey, sixteen, is about to be married to a total stranger—and caught up in an insidious plot to rob her cousin, King Edward, of his throne. But that’s the least of Jane’s problems. She’s about to become Queen of England. Like that could go wrong.

Why Am I Waiting?
Lady Jane Grey has one of the most tragic stories in history so it will be really interesting to see how the authors can make this Princess Bride esque while still staying truthful to who she was. Unless of course the only likeness to her is in name. I can accept that if that is the case  but I hope we do get some truths within the story as well. No matter, I am really excited for this one and I can't wait for next summer so I can get my greedy paws on a copy of it.

    Lady Jane Grey is one of my favorite historical figures so I can't wait to see what these authors do with her.

Welcome to my stop on the Books To Movies Giveaway Hop hosted by Mary from Bookhounds & I Am A Reader, Not A Writer If you didn't know by now I'm a huge fan of Books turned movies. I read as if I'm watching a movie as it is and so whenever I see a book turned into a film I get super excited. While I have many favorites I've decided to limit my choices to my Top 5. Trust me I can talk about Book to Movie adaptations all day if you'll let me :)  From this list you can choose either the book or film as your prize! In no particular order here are my favorite books turned into films! .The Lord Of The Rings is a series that can only be described as epic. I love the books and suggest everyone read the series at least once. When Peter Jackson turned the trilogy into a film and I heard of some of the changes I was skeptical. Fortunately as soon as I saw the first film all doubts were erased from my mind. I just can't get enough and have rewatched t

Giveaway: Vamps vs. Zombies Blog Hop!!

Welcome to my stop on the Vamps vs. Zombies Blog Hop hosted by April @ My Shelf Confessions . Up for Grabs is a $5 Amazon Giftcard and a Vampire or Zombie book of choice (up to $10).  Since I'm #TeamZombie all the way I figured it'd be fun to list my reasons for why Zombies are clearly superior to Vampires. Zombies Vampires Early Warning System. If you hear a moan you have time to run away before they eat you.                                       Climb through the window while you're sleeping to suck blood. That's just rude! Helpful in decreasing the surplus population. Sure their numbers might increase but it's the thought that counts. Due to "secrecy" Vampires try very hard to not increase numbers. They'd rather suck and move on. More fun to kill!  From traditional weapons to household supplies the possibilities for proper Zombie slayage are endless. Holy water, sunlight or stakes= yawn.   Zombies are equal opportunity hu
