HEY CW, ENOUGH WITH REBOOTS ALREADY!!!
Anyone else really annoyed by the crazy amount of reboots being made? I hate the Charmed reboot (@ me, don’t @ me, I don’t care. I will NEVER be a fan of that shit), don’t care much about Roswell (I never saw the original, my sister was and she was pissed), and now The CW is in talks about rebooting Gossip Girl? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU, CW?! Seriously. Who the fuck is giving ideas of rebooting classics, thinking it’s the most original concept of all? Just stop, okay? As someone who have seen Charmed and Gossip Girl when it was airing, hearing news about rebooting these shows annoy the fuck out of me. Go read a book. There’s tons of YA books out there that deserves to be on the screen (big or small). Need some tips? Here, I’ll give it to you FOR FREE:
The Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard (okay, so this is going to be a movie, but I still feel like this deserves a special mention)
The Selection series by Keira Cass (there was a rumor this was going to be a movie but until now we still haven’t heard updates about it). What’s it about?
Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins (no, really. Go read this book. All three books were AMAZING!)
Dear Killer by Katherine Ewell (think Killing Eve except the serial killer is a teen and people asks her to kill people by sending her letters). Some people find the book flawed but I’m pretty sure a good screenwriter can turn things around.
I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore (yes, this has already been made into a movie before but this series deserves another go)
Replica series by Lauren Oliver (something similar to Orphan Black, but not quite)
The School for Good and Evil by Soman Chainani (this would be really good on the big screen, though). Think Harry Potter and Wicked.
Three Dark Crowns series by Kendara Blake (okay, so I haven’t read this one but they said it’s sorta like GoT with powers. Correct me if I’m wrong)
The Thousandth Floor series by Katharine McGee (another book I haven’t read but it was pegged to be something like Gossip Girl)
The Grownups by Gillian Flynn (okay, I’m really rooting for HBO to adapt this one because I think that this is the perfect book to turn into a series because since it was just a short story, the screenwriter—and I’m hoping Gillian Flynn will do it herself—will have insane amounts of creative freedom to go whichever direction she wants to go. And if you know Gillian Flynn’s work (Gone Girl, anyone? What about Sharp Objects? Yup, The Grownups was penned by the same woman who wrote those two masterpieces), then you’d know it’s gonna be great.
You see, this is just a small list of books with original stories that are waiting to be adapted into a small or big screen. I’m sure other book nerds have much more list of books to share. I don’t know why TV networks like The CW loooooooooves reboots so fucking much. Just... UGH. NO.🙄
We are all told from the very beginning that we are important. From the moment we can first understand words and perhaps even before then, we are continuously reassured that we have a place in things , that we have a part to play. The human race as a whole is a hopeful species. Of course there are exceptions. Some forgotten children, ones who slip through the cracks. And not everyone is told that they will be important in the same way. Not everyone will be a doctor, or a lawyer. Some people grow up believing that their importance is to love someone fully. Some people grow up believing that their importance is to be loved fully... But we are all taught, in general, in some way, that someday our worth will be revealed. Someday we will be justified. Someday we will be free.
Katherine Ewell, Dear Killer
Sometimes I imagine we're all like paper stars, folded up and gathered together, each of us convinced that we are glittering and celestial, each of us bent into a shape so we believe we're something we're not.
Katherine Ewell, Dear Killer

Danielle Babbles About Books - Dear Killer by Katherine Ewell
Rating: 4/5 stars
Review: Chilling, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. While it did take the first couple chapters for me to become fully trapped in the web once I was hooked I never came un-hooked. The writing is smooth and quick and unlike many books the first-person POV is perfect. Because Kit is already such a tough and complex character the closer the reader is to her thoughts the easier it is to get emotionally involved. Third-person just wouldn’t have worked. The pacing was fantastic; throughout the story I had no idea just what was going to happen next right to the last line. I’m beginning to think I should read more mystery and horror novels in the hopes that I will actually be caught by surprise like I was with Dear Killer. I was also fascinated by how such a cold character could also be so warm at the same time; Kit not being a complete and utter psychopath (flashbacks to The Stranger) made her story so much more convincing, it made me want to keep reading. If she’d been anything like Meursault I would’ve DNF’d in two seconds flat. The fact that I found myself rooting for Kit’s success despite her being a serial killer shows to me that Ewell did a fantastic job of creating a sympathetic character out of a character that by social convention should be despicable.
There’s a lot of descriptions of death and murder by nature of the book so if you can’t handle that or the exploration of moral nihilism this book is not for you.
Favorite Quotes: “Volatile repose. The words just kept occurring to me. It was a perfect description of me -quiet, calm, but on the edge of something vast and dark and dangerous and explosive.”
“But was it worth anything? That's the hopelessness of it. The openness of it. The part of it I can never understand. I am afraid of ambiguity and certainity and permanence and impermanence. And so is everybody else.”
