(Please note: the above image was found at Bobbins and Books .) For this edition of From Books to Movies I am going to feature my movie review of The Maze Runner . Release Date: September 19, 2014 (USA) Director: Wes Ball MPAA Rating: PG-13 Adapted From: The Maze Runner by James Dashner Movie Website:  http://themazerunnermovie.com/ MY REVIEW: It's been awhile since I read this series but I remembered enough to know the majority of the story, though perhaps not as many small details. For the most part I was highly impressed with the way the movie was made. The action was great! The actors did an amazing job! My kids (ages 12, 10 and nephew age 11) LOVED it! So all in all I am super glad we spent the money to go watch it on our new BIG D theater screen in town. CHARACTERS I LOVED: Newt: Newt is played by Thomas Brodie-Sangster. I was familiar with him from his recurring role on the HBO show Game of Thrones. Being impressed with his work there, ...

~COVER REVEAL~ Wicked (A Wicked Saga #1)  By Jennifer L. Armentrout Expected Publication: December 8, 2014 Preorder Buy Link: Amazon Things are about to get  Wicked  in New Orleans. Twenty-two year old Ivy Morgan isn’t your average college student. She, and others like her, know humans aren’t the only thing trolling the French Quarter for fun… and for food. Her duty to the Order is her life. After all, four years ago, she lost  everything  at the hands of the creatures she’d sworn to hunt, tearing her world and her heart apart. Ren Owens is the last person Ivy expected to enter her rigidly controlled life. He’s six feet and three inches of temptation and swoon-inducing charm. With forest-green eyes and a smile that’s surely left a stream of broken hearts in its wake, he has an uncanny, almost unnatural ability to make her yearn for everything he has to offer. But letting him in is as dangerous as hunting the cold-blooded killers stalking the s...
