Morning Meanderings… Two Very Different, but Very Appealing Books

Good morning!  Thursday already!  Did anyone elses week fly by?  I feel like I have run from one thing to the next but it has all been so good!  I am drinking my coffee and hustling through my morning traditions in anticipation of riding my bike to work.  I think… :D   I do have errands to run after work so that puts a little damper on things but I am seriously considering biking to work :D

Reading Shelf Awareness this week (if you do not receive this AWESOME daily email you should and you can link up on my right sidebar) and I have seen a couple of book trailers that caught my eye.  Yes… I said book trailers, and yes – I am not a fan of book trailers because I want to develop the story in my head… but… I am warming to a few of them.

First, on Monday – this trailer for the book Cascade really caught my eye… and then my heart.

and then last night I was reading email and seen this trailer hiding at the bottom of yesterdays Shelf Awareness and wow… I am turning into such a James Dashner fan want to be and have not read a thing he has written yet… obviously Maze Runner is in my near future so I can then read this one:

Tonight is my Hope Springs House Party.  I am getting kind of excited…  :D   Hope your Thursday is fab-tastic! 

Are you a book trailer fan… if so, any books call to you by seeing their trailer?

  1. Is James Dashner the author Alison was all fangirly about? I think she rubbed off on you!

  2. After reading the Maze Runner series it will be interesting to see how the prequel is. I never really think about looking for book trailers, I tend to just see them on other bloggers sites. Thanks for sharing!

  3. I haven’t read James Dashner yet….

    Enjoy your biking!

  4. I look forward to the prequel book to The Maze Runner series! Normally, don’t look for book trailors, but do watch them on occassion.

  5. I’ve never watched a book trailer. I think it’s because I’m like an 85 year old woman who doesn’t like change, who doesn’t like anything new and fancy-fangled ;) I’m afraid they would mess with the picture I have in my head while I’m reading a book.

    Have a fun party tonight!

  6. OO! I’m currently reading The Kill Order and it’s great. I listened to The Maze Runner last summer and you would LOVE that audiobook (if you need another rec). :)

  7. I don’t look for book trailers either but sometimes they call out to me… and I can’t say no to them. I have seen the trailer for Cascade somewhere before, I can’t remember where. I put the book on my to-read list because I watched it. They don’t mess with the images in my head because they usually aren’t long enough. It’s not like if I watch the movie before reading the book… .which does mess with my head. Hopefully that made sense because I am starting to ramble…

  8. The only book trailers I’ve watched are the ones they showed at the Fierce Reads tour. I don’t like them. To me trailers are for the more visual media (tv and movies). Seriously, one I saw at the Fierce Reads tour, I thought while watching it “This would be a really good tv series”. I don’t want them for books, won’t watch by choice, and won’t post them. I would sooner read Twilight, and I really, really hate the idea of reading Twilight.

  9. I first saw a book trailer regarding a Jeffrey Archer book – Sins of the Father – and I really enjoyed it. I also like the sound of Cascade
