Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver
2nd March 2010 | HarperCollins
What if you had only one day to live? What would you do? Who would you kiss? And how far would you go to save your own life?
Samantha Kingston has it all: the world's most crush-worthy boyfriend, three amazing best friends, and first pick of everything at Thomas Jefferson High - from the best table in the cafeteria to the choicest parking spot. Friday, February 12, should be just another day in her charmed life.
Instead, it turns out to be her last.
Then she gets a second chance. Seven chances, in fact. Reliving her last day during one miraculous week, she will untangle the mystery surrounding her death - and discover the true value of everything she is in danger of losing.
Q: What book-to-movie are you looking forward to seeing?
I really want to see The Last Song, even though I was disappointed with Dear John's adaptation. I think it will be better because Nicholas Sparks actually wrote the screenplay, and even though I don't really like Miley Cyrus, I think it will be beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteBefore I Fall looks so good. I'd love to read that one. Happy reading ths week.
ReplyDeleteChaos Walking books! AWESOME! I LOVE those books! I definitely recommend you read them first because the entire world, dialect, etc is just brilliant. I am dying for that third book.
ReplyDeleteI also am quite jealous of Before I fall haha... I am so anxious for that book. I've heard such great things about it!
Happy reading!

ReplyDeleteBefore I Fall sounds incredible. I can't wait to read it. I've got Little Black Lies on my TBR list, but haven't gotten to it yet.
ReplyDeleteAnswer- There's a lot. YA is taking over the movie biz, so I'm gonna say Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater, The Forest Of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan & Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia & Maragret Stohl!
I've head that the Knife of Never Letting Go is one of the best YA books of the decade, or something like that. Everyone seems to gush about it so I really want to read it. Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of a few but they look good I want to read Before I Fail and Little Black Lies.
ReplyDeleteOooo. Yummy books! lol Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWow, GREAT books! I'm really jealous of Before I Fall! The Patrick Ness books are REALLY good, so I hope you enjoy them! As for your question, I'm looking forward to Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, Dear John, and Alice in Wonderland! There are just so many adaptations lately!
