Movie Mania: The Bookish Upcomers and Potentials

Raise your hand if you hate movies.

If you actually raised your hand.
Movies are magical, almost as much as books. For about two hours, I'm entranced by the wonderfully bright screen, as I snack on goodies, and get to be involved in one whole story. So when you combine books and movies TOGETHER, well, you just rocked my socks. that is still a saying. I talked about YA books turning into movies before, but this time I'm just letting you know that HEY, it's happening, in case you didn't notice. Also, I fully realize that I may be missing lots (especially in the optioned section).

Coming Out in 2014: 

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
Release date: June 6

EXTREME FANGIRLING MOMENT. If you forgot, I reviewed it here. Also, here's the trailer so we can all sigh together. 

If I Stay by Gayle Forman
Release date: August 22

The trailer didn't make me cry like it did others, but I did get goosebumps. 

The Maze Runner by James Dashner
Release date: September 19

Er, never read, but here's the trailer

The Giver by Lois Lowry
Release date: August 15

Another one I haven't read, but it does look interesting. The book cover needs work though. Trailer here. 

Mockingjay Part 1 by Suzanne Collins
Release date: November 21

For whatever reason, I didn't realize it was coming out THIS YEAR. 

It's going to happen: 

Mockingjay Part 2 by Suzanne Collins

BRING ON THE TEARS. 

Insurgent and Allegiant by Veronica Roth

I really need to read these last two before they come out. 

Fantastic Beasts by J.K. Rowling

To all you Rowling readers. 

The DUFF by Kody Keplinger

Okay, I haven't read this one, but I've heard funny things. 

Optioned: 

Paper Towns by John Green

Love me some TFiOS, but strangely, I haven't read this one yet. 

Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

*dances* 

Heist Society by Ally Carter

There's been a false alarm before, but let's just take a moment and rejoice at the fact that it's been optioned by Lions-freaking-gate with Elizabeth Banks as the producer. HELLO, HEAVEN. 

Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell

I'm in love with her idea of unknown actors, as she stated in this article

Which movies are you excited for?
