News Round Up! 22nd June

Here's my latest round up of this week's YA news stories. Enjoy!

A plethora of new stills from Divergent filming were released this week thanks to an issue of Entertainment Weekly. You can check out the image over on FandomsNews.com at this link.

Divergent fans will also be happy to learn that more short stories focussing on Four are in the works. Read more about the e-book shorts over on Veronica Roth's blog.

There's exciting news for fans of Lauren Oliver as the rights to her as yet unreleased YA novel Panic has already been picked up by Universal. Read more about the story over on The Wrap.

The winner of the Carnegie Medal was announced this week. The excellent Maggot Moon took home the prize. You can find out more about the prize and see clips from the ceremony on the Carnegie Medal website. Don't forget to check out my review of Maggot Moon right here as well!

More posters for the latest Percy Jackson film, Sea of Monsters, have been released. See the group posters over at Fandomsnews.com.

And finally check out this awesome book trailer for Ink by Amanda Sun which is published in July by MiraInk.

Friday Finds: 26th April

FRIDAY FINDS is hosted over at Should Be Reading and showcases the books you ‘found’ and added to your To Be Read (TBR) list… whether you found them online, or in a bookstore, or in the library — wherever! (they aren’t necessarily books you purchased).

This week I did some major reorganising of my Goodreads shelves (which is way more satisfying than it should be!) so I've allowed myself to start adding books to an exclusive "looks interesting" shelf and keeping my "to-read" shelf for books I either own, have on hold at the library or are in a series I already started. That way my to-read list doesn't get to clogged up. I'll be featuring books from both my actual "to-read" and my "looks interesting" shelf in Friday Finds as both lists cover new discoveries. So let's get cracking!

The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau
What I Didn't Say by Keary Taylor
The Edge of Always by J. A. Redmerski
Ink by Amanda Sun

The Testing was a book I discovered through Twitter. I'm really excited to read this one as it's billed as "for fans of The Hunger Games" and those are always books I adore <3 Next up is What I Didn't Say which I grabbed as a free Kindle download. I added The Edge of Always after finishing the first book The Edge of Never and really enjoying it. And Ink by Amanda Sun was covered on the Mira Ink blog which I really enjoy reading. This looks like a really unique book.

What have you added to your to-read list this week? I'd love to hear from you! Let me know in the comments and if you have a blog then link me to your Friday Finds and I'll be sure to check them out.
