Novel Novice

* In case you missed our Big! Exciting! News!, here it is again … we’re one of five blogs helping to reveal chapter one of Cassandra Clare’s City of Fallen Angels. Tune into Novel Novice on Wednesday to see our sneak peek! Meanwhile, here’s Cassie’s top ten list of things that will NOT happen in CoFA:

* Speaking of Cassie Clare … she tweeted a delightful “cookie” teaser from the upcoming Clockwork Prince. Check it out here.

* It’s been confirmed that Emma Watson and Logan Lerman will star in the upcoming movie adaptation of Stephen Chbosky’s The Perks of Being a Wallflower (aka my favorite book ever).

What’s cool about this project is that Chbosky not only wrote the screenplay based on his own book, but he’s also directing the movie — what a major coup for an author!!

* We are SO excited about one of the upcoming May titles from our friends at Bluewater Productions — a graphic novel adaptation of the classic Anne of Green Gables:

Lucy Maud Montgomery’s classic tale, with its engaging heroine and evocative description of the Prince Edward Island landscape, never fails to delight youngsters. When Matthew Cuthbert goes to the train station to pick up the orphan he and his sister Marilla plan to adopt, he expects to meet a boy who can help on the family farm. Instead it’s Anne–a talkative, dreamy, red-haired, freckle-faced 11-year-old little girl who transforms the Cuthberts’ life forever and fills it with love and joy.

* Holy comic book movies! In the last week, we’ve gotten the first teaser for Captain America (thanks, Super Bowl commercial) and the first look at X-Men: First Class:
