Hello brand new month! It's time for a catch up of what's been happening on the blog and in the news over the past week. Enjoy!

In the news

The first trailer for the film adaptation of John Green's The Fault in Our Stars has been unveiled. Watch it below!

(I love it! Each watch throws up more hidden gems I recognise from the book. So excited for this film!)

Cat Clarke, author of YA novels, Torn, Undone and Entangled, has announced a new two-book deal with Quercus. Clarke's new novel Safe and Sound will be published in 2015. Read more about the deal over on the Quercus website.

On the blog

On Monday I posted my review of Sister Assassin by Kiersten White, a book I liked, but was slightly confused by! On Wednesday I was waiting on Sea of Shadows by Kelley Armstrong, and on Friday I got to share the cover for Here Lies Love by Dan Thompson.

What I've Been Reading

I'm halfway through Banished by Liz de Jager which is fantastic and is jam packed with magical, fantastical stuff! I was also approved on NetGalley for Echo Boy by Matt Haig so I can't wait to dive into that.
