Hi Guys!
Since I am having my baby this week, and I won’t be able to go again for a few months, I decided to go see a movie this past weekend. What movie did I see? Divergent of course! It was so good.
Ally has said many times that if you want your favorite YA novels to become movies then you really need to go see the YA movies when they come out. Divergent isn’t the only YA movie this year. What movie(s) are you looking forward to seeing?
And in case you missed the Ally Carter movie news you can read all about it here: Gallagher Girls Movie News and Heist Society Movie News!
Have a great week!
xoxo,
Shellie
I don’t really know what movie I want to see : / . I am not a huge divergent fan. That is so exciting Shellie this is my birthday week. My birthday is on Thursday.
Happy Birthday for Thursday!
OMG my birthday was a thursday too!
march 27.
I watched Divergent today it was good, but i still like the book better
I saw divergent and read the books before I even saw the movie both were really good!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I so want to see Divergent it looks sooo good and i want Ally’s books to become movies even more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can’t wait for that movie called maleficent to come out!
I’m excited to see Maleficent! I am such big fan of Once Upon A Time! And I love to see the until stories of the Disney Villians! I once saw somewhere that ‘A villain is just a victim whose story hasn’t been told.’
OMG! IM A #ONCER TOO! YOU SHOULD FOLLOW ME @ONCEWONDERLANDF ON TWITTER! IM SO EXCITED FOR THE MOVIE TOO! AHHH! DO YOU HAVE A TWITTER?
My twitter is @ColorGuardAng97
I am really looking forward to see The Grand Budapest Hotel. I don’t think that comes from a YA novel, but nevertheless.
The movies i’ve been looking forward to this year was Divergent!!! But its already out. Im also looking forward to MockingJay part 1, also TFIOS!! Hope you can come back less than two months! But I know newborns are really hard to take care of. You also better post pics of your newborn!!! Im gonna miss you!! Good luck with your newborn!! <3
Ugh I still haven’t seen Divergent.
I’m going on Thursday.
And I guess Mockingjay?
I’m not a huge fan of the Hunger Games.
And I’m not allowed to read tfios.
But other movies would be uh X plus Y because Asa Butterfield is perf.
I loved Divergent too! Even if it wasn’t that close to the book. I want to see The Fault in Our Stars in June. I’m going to cry, I know it
I would like to see some adaptation of Victorian YA Novels about music halls. (which is one of my future YA Projects).
THE FAULT IN OUR STARS~
Omg congrats with the baby! Divergent, Mockingjay pt 1, Tfios
Well, of course I want to see the heist society and Gallagher girl movies if and when they come out!!!
But I’m not sure what else…. There are so many!! I’m seriously one of the only people who haven’t seen divergent and the hunger games. (My mom says I can’t see them yet..) 😉
Thank you for your books! And I am so glad you get to do one more post before the big day!
Don’t worry my mom won’t let me see divergent. Even though I want to see it I am not a huge fan on distopian kind of books. I was only allowed to see hunger games and catching fire is because my mom read Hunger Games.
I totally get you. My mom won’t let me read any books she hasn’t read and I was really surprised when she said I could see THG and Divergent.
Finally! Someone else! 😉 thanks!
I already saw Divergent, which was amazing, even though it slightly strayed from the book’s plot line. I’m looking forward to Mockingjay part 1 in November, and I’ll probably end up seeing TFIOS too, even though I didn’t really like the book. I don’t know of any other big YA books that are becoming movies this year, but the Veronica Mars movie is supposed to come out this year!!!!!
Anything but the Maze Runner! That trilogy made me sooo upset!
Maybe The Book Thief will be really good. 🙂
So, 1) congrats! I’m sure your daughter is thrilled and you must be so excited! (possibly nervous?) But babies are the best thing. Also, 2) ALL THE MOVIES! I saw Divergent already and A+ and I’m going to see it again on Saturday. Then, this year, I have to go see The Fault in Our Stars, If I stay, The Maze Runner, and the Giver. This is the year of YA movies and that makes me so happy.
Have a wonderfully peaceful next few days and enjoy that itty bitty bundle!
XO, Kristi
Divergent hasn’t come out yet here but I’m seeing it in 2 weeks and I’m really looking forward to that!! And yes I also really want to see The Fault in Our Stars and Mockingjay pt 1 !!
Good luck Shellie, we will all miss you!
I’m going to see DIVERGENT tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!
I can’t wait to see The Giver.
Good luck with your baby.
I can’t wait for The Maze Runner! The trailer looked awesome 😀
THE MAZE RUNNER! Am I’m I like the only one who wants to see the Maze Runner?
No I want to see it too! I haven’t read the book though… 😛
I saw Divergent too!!! It was so amazing, but I’m looking forward to The Fault In Our Stars
I saw Divergent, too! It was amazing. This year I’m really excited for The Fault in Our Stars,and The Maze Runner. There are some though that I have to catch up on before those. 😀 Good luck with your baby!
I swear I’ll go cry of joy if any ally cater books turn in to a movie soon
“please let it be soon”
P.S I’m begging here literary I’m typing this with my nose
That a little pathetic now that I look at it so
The answers two words
Heist Society
I don’t know. The only problem with novels-into-films is that the film’s always not as good as the book or not what you imagined and it’s just a bit deflating. My friend found this t-shirt that says ‘the book was better’ and I really want her to get it.
That’s so true though. The books will never be as good as their movies, because there is nothing that the film industry can do to match the imagination of a reader.
I agree- also, they have to make it appeal and make sense to a broader audience, so it is never 100% true to the book.
MOVIES?!?! YES PLEASE!!! I really hope we get to see a GG movie in the future!! <3
I went to see Divergent of course, because it has been one of my top books ever since it first came out. I liked the first half of the Divergent movie, but affter that I started to hate it because there wasn’t enough suspense. Obviously I already knew what happened because I’ve read all the books, but I was annoyed at how the movie revealed everything right away. I also wished they introduced Uriah, Zeke, Lynn, and Marlene. anyways, I’m really looking forward to the Maze Runner movie. It looks like it should be pretty good, eve though it seems like the movie might stray from the true plot line a bit.
I saw Divergent on Thursday night when it came out. OMG! It was SOO good! I’m really excited to see Maze Runner, Mockingjay part 1, and I’m actually excited for the new Tinker Bell movie. It looks really cute! 🙂
THE FAULT IN OUR STARS AND CONGRATS ON UR FUTURE BABY
Went to watch Divergent this weekend, but I’m definitely looking forward to the Fault in Our Stars. The actors playing Tris and her brother, Caleb, in Divergent, are actually going to be play each other’s love interest in Fault in Our Stars. It’s going to be interesting how they’ll manage that!
The YA book that I’m looking forward to seeing is of course Divergent!! And The Fault in our Stars!!! 😀 😀 😀 😀
The Fault in Our Stars
Divergent
Maze Runner
Mockingjay #1
Divergent is AWESOME!! Now, I can’t wait for The Maze Runner, The Fault In Our Stars, and Mockingjay. I’m a large YA novel to movie supporter.
I am looking foreword to seeing Divergent, The Fault in Our Stars!!!!!!
-Mockingjay
-The Fault in Our Stars
-Divergent (I haven’t seen it yet)
I was very pleased that both Catching Fire and Divergent were very accurate to the books; hopefully movie makers will start to realize that sticking to the books exactly is actually a really good thing. (I’m looking at you, Percy Jackson movies!!!)
As for movies coming out, I’d have to say any of the new Marvel movies. I’m really into Iron Man but I’m super excited for Captain America 2 as well!
Well of course I’m looking forward to seeing Divergent(it is killing me that I haven’t seen it yet) but i also REALLY am excited for The Fault in Our Stars!!!!!!! And I can’t wait till Mockingjay comes out:)
I loved divergent.
Wanna watch mocking jay part 1
The giver
Fault in our stars
Maze runner
And ur books that will turn into movies
And I wanna act in them 2!! (Just kidding, maybe)
OMG!!!!!! Huge Divergent fan!!!! Tris and Tobias forever 🙂 Well, I’m about to start Allegiant and will hopefully see the movie this weekend! I can’t wait! Oh btw, congrats on your baby! I want to see sooooo many movies this year! So many awesome ones have come out this year! I plan on seeing God’s Not Dead, Son of God, Maleficent, the Fault in Our Stars (after I read it of course), and the Muppets. Especially Maleficent! She’s totally my favorite villain. I saw the LEGO movie, and it is very different then what I expected it to be…good but different.
OMG I totally forgot about the Maze Runner! I love movies that come from books, especially YA books. There need to be soooo many more, and I have faith that Heist Society and Gallagher Girls will be up there soon!
CAPTIAN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! APRIL 4TH!!!!!!!!!YYYYAAAAYYYY!!!!!
I can’t wait for the Maze Runner to come out and I can’t wait for Captain America: The Winter Soldier!! Ahhh and many more!!!!
Love your books!
I really want to see The Fault in Our Stars and Maze Runner!! 😀
Not sure about what movies I am excited to see. I have watched frozen a ton and never get tired of it! I want to see God is not dead, my sister and mom have both seen it and said it was really good. I think it will be interesting, because it will give me ideas for my upcoming debate in Bible class.
I think it’s really funny that no one said anything about If I Stay. Seriously such a good book, and I’m so happy to see that Gayle Forman is finally getting due credit for her writing. While I hope that the movie does the book justice, I know it can in no way compare to it. There is literally no way to transfer all of the magic of Forman’s writing to the big screen; it’s better done on paper. In a way, I’m glad there isn’t much hype about it yet because perhaps for just a little while longer, it can be my secret…magic that I discovered a few years ago. Regardless, I am pumped to see the movie.
Hi! I just have a Request from Shellie or ally. Would it be okay if and when the Gallagher girl movie comes to being planned that they not change most of the book’s plot? (Any other girls feel the same way?) Many movies I watched had changed some of my favorite books plots entirely, and I get sorely disappointed. For me, this is one of my favorite book series in ages and I just don’t want the movies to ruin it, but try to follow it. (Just like the Harry potter movie series) thank you!
