Well hello, ladies and gents! Let's crank up that rumor mill, 'cause we've got lots of speculatin' to do, plus we'd like to allude to some future features you are sure to enjoy! Here's a fast five for today's Friday Snip & Spec!

| It's still a concept image - the release is 4 years away! |
For all of you Austen fans, this is pretty cool news! She'll be on the 10-pound note. Link in the title to the Jezebel article where we first saw the story, and check out the video from the Bank of England!
#2 HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL .... IN SPACE!

| THIS...almost |
Okay, on a scale of 1 to Total Speculation, this is really out there, but if you are a huge Star Wars nerd and reader and YA fan, you might be curious if (1) They're really going to base the rumored sequel on Heir to the Empire and (2) OMG REALLY CAST RYAN GOSLING AND ZAC EFRON! Okay, okay, this rumor came from self-proclaimed gossip hound Perez Hilton, but ... we want to believe!

| Hey girl. |
 |
| ....That's right. |
***Update*** It looks like the Ryan Gosling thing really was a rumor...there's still hope for a Cosmic HSM, though! And may we make a replacement suggestion ....
 |
| You're welcome. |
#3 HI LADIES....I'M HADES
Have you spotted the new EPIC cover to House of Hades yet, out October 2014? We're pretty pumped about it - thanks YA Book Crush for tuning us in to its release! - and it distracts us from what is sure to be another disappointing film adaptation.
 |
| LOOK HOW EPIC |
#4 LET'S GO TO THE MOVIES! LET'S GO SEE THE STARS!
 |
| When you're a star rays of light shoot out of your chest! |
Speaking of movies, we are very excited to announce a new REGULAR FEATURE where we review BOOKS & THEIR FILM ADAPTATIONS! This magical recurring journey of joy will commence with the premiere of The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones. We're planning to attend the film together and co-author our first TRIPLE REVIEW! Could this list item feature MORE CAPITALIZATION?

| "If she does it again...I'll kill her." |
#5 YOU'VE GOT TO ASK YOURSELF ONE QUESTION
"Do I feel ... like taking a monthly personality quiz based on my favorite YA books?!!?"
Well...DO YA!?!?
 |
| Clint Eastwood. Casual. |
We've got plots and plans in the works for a quiz feature. Please let us know your thoughts in the comments!
Thanks for stopping by, guys! We appreciate the views, the love, the comments, and your input!

We are soul mates. It's true. I was torn about being excited about City of Bones, but I have accepted. Also JGL? Melts, yes please! Also glad that someone other than me is proud to say HELL YEAH CLINT EASTWOOD WAS HOT. So was Michael Caine. Check it.
ReplyDeleteAlso quizzes. I like quizzes? Please? Yay? Yay!
...sorry I'm a bit hyper. I just read The Summer I Turned Pretty, which I expected to hate, but OH MY GOD IT WAS SO GOOD. I was sitting here trying not to bawl because I'm babysitting and I was afraid the parents were going to walk in on me crying with no reasonable explanation. Ok I'm going to go calm down now. But yes, everything in this post, just yes. And I refuse to reread what I just wrote. I own my humiliation. OWN IT.
