Celebrate Women’s Equality Day & ‘Suffragette’

August 26, 2015 by Sandie Leave a Comment

Celebrate Women’s Equality Day & ‘Suffragette’

August 26th is Women’s Equality Day and the 95th anniversary of the 19th Amendment. In honor of the day, my daughter and I, as well as my friend and her daughter, dressed in purple, one of the three colors of the Suffragette movement symbolizing dignity and ability (the other colors are green for hope, and…

Page to Screen: Updates on YA-Based Movies

October 3, 2014 by Sandie 2 Comments

Page to Screen: Updates on YA-Based Movies

Because of my day job, I often get asked what I know about upcoming young-adult movies. What most book fans probably already know is that just because a book gets optioned (meaning someone has acquired the rights to adapt it into a television show or movie) doesn’t mean the title is actually going to end…

Best YA Adaptations of 2013

This has been a tough week for us to post. It was Diana’s 25th anniversary on Tuesday, so she spent two days celebrating with her husband, and I’ve been parenting solo while my husband is on a work trip for 11 DAYS (we’re only on day 5, so I’m a bit of a mess). On…

The  Hunger Games: Catching Fire:Teens Who Make A Difference Contest

Happy “Catching Fire” day, folks! I’ve already seen it and hope all of you fans will see it this weekend and prove to Hollywood that not all YA adaptations are a losing proposition. This one is GOOD, and Jennifer Lawrence is, as always, fabulous as Katniss. We’re happy to offer another giveaway in honor of…

It’s no secret that we’re big “Hunger Games” fans here, so when we were offered the opportunity to give away three copies of the new “Catching Fire” movie tie-in edition, we couldn’t resist. We firmly believe everyone should “Read It, Then See It,” but we’re also aware that millions of moviegoers will walk into the…

Read and See The Spectacular Now

August 5, 2013 by Sandie 5 Comments

Read and See The Spectacular Now

Need a movie recommendation this month? Please go see the critically acclaimed indie coming-of-age drama “The Spectacular Now.” It’s funny, poignant, beautifully acted and will make you (well, if you’re over 35) remember those heartfelt high-school movies from your own youth. I loved it and hope you’ll both read the book and see the excellent…

Tiger Eyes Trailer: Will You See It?

June 5, 2013 by Sandie 4 Comments

Tiger Eyes Trailer: Will You See It?

I think I read “Tiger Eyes” by Judy Blume when I was in sixth grade, but I couldn’t remember much more than the fact that it’s about a teenager whose young father was killed and who winds up moving in with her aunt and uncle in New Mexico, where she meets a hunky Native American…
