Dear Blog,
I realised that I hadn't done a post with book trailers for a while (okay, months, my only other book trailer post was my second ever post, in which I mentioned a couple of favourites). Which is a shame because book trailers are truly awesome things.
Speaking of which:
THE SWEET FAR THING by Libba Bray
I don't know why but I don't like the way Gemma looks in this one...Either way, that aside, if I saw this as an advert for a film, I'd be like, I must see this now!!! Even though I've read the book it makes me feel sort of scared watching it.
THIS WORLD WE LIVE IN by Susan Pfeffer (actually, this a trailer for all 3 Moon Crush novels)
*squeals in excitement* I can't wait to read this, even though I have to because I've run out of space on my bookcase, I'm skint, plus my TBR pile is epicly massive.
THE SKY IS EVERYWHERE by Jandy Nelson
I ordered a copy of this off Amazon the other day, but it hasn't arrived yet. Meh. Anyway, I love this trailer because a) it's pretty and b) the guitar music is wonderful and I want to find it somewhere.
ALONG FOR THE RIDE by Sarah Dessen
I know it looks really shallow, but kudos for the actual design. I bet it's probably easy but from the point of view of somebody who only makes little films about the universe on Windows Movie Maker, this is a piece of art. And how do they get the writing to appear in all those different directions?

In praise of book trailers
Dear Blog,
Entry no.2. Just spent about an hour trying to re-organize the layout, background colour and everything. No matter.
I'm currently on page 42 of The Sweet Far Thing by Libba Bray, the epic tome that is the conclusion to the Gemma Doyle Trilogy. It's been sat on my shelf since November and I've been saving it for a weekend where I have nothing to do and can just sit for hours reading. I suppose I'll do a full review when I've finished it (but with over 800 pages, that may be a while).
No, dear blog, today's subject is in fact Book Trailers. They rock my socks!
In case you haven't heard of them before,the clue's in the name really. They're like film previews but...for books!
My favourite is most likely for The Boy with the Cuckoo Clock Heart by a French author whose name escapes me. Though I understand none of it, it's beautiful and they should release it as a single and music. It uses PUPPETS!
And my other favourite is for If I Stay by Gayle Forman (which I've heard they're making into a film). As with many other book trailers, it makes me want to rush out to Waterstones and buy the book.
*adds both books to Goodreads "To Read" shelf*
Oh well. All for now, dear blog. Over and out.
