I hate to say it, but I'm one of those people that judges a book by it's cover. If the cover looks cool, chances are I'm going to pick up the book and read the back of it. If the back sounds good, I'll definitely buy or borrow it. The kind of covers that make me pick up a book are the kind that stand out. It's got to be colorful, but not too flashy. It's got to make me wonder what the books all about. The 100 Cupboards series does exactly that. Don't ya think?
100 Cupboards Book Trailer
Here's the link for the 100 Cupboards book trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19DoOGuhUa8
It's not quite as good as The Dragon's Tooth book trailer because there are no actors, but it's still interesting to see.

The Trilogy
I just ordered the complete 100 Cupboards trilogy from amazon.com. They'll be here by Wednesday :) The entire set cost just $18! I lost my first copy of 100 Cupboards, and had been reading the ebook version, but decided it just wasn't the same as holding the book in my hands. There's nothing like reading the old fashioned way, huh?

The Dragon's Tooth Trailer
I stole these from Mr. ND Wilson's site: http://www.ndwilson.com/blog/pictures/making-the-book-trailer-for-the-dragons-tooth/
Thanks for posting the photos!

Audio Books Rule
I'm currently listening to the 100 Cupboards audio book, and reading along some. It's interesting how having the book read to you provides you with a whole different outlook on the story. I feel like a little kid again! A review of the book will soon follow.

A Movie
Who's excited for the 100 Cupboards movie?! It will be absolutely phenomenal. It'll be produced by Beloved Pictures, who seem to be big fans of the trilogy, so hopefully the movie will be true to the book. The first film is in the early stages of production, and a release date has yet to be set. I know the film probably won't be out until 2013 or 2014, but I'm allowing myself to get excited :))))))))) It's gonna be magical to see the words come to life on the big screen.
Awaiting The Drowned Vault
The Drowned Vault is coming out September 11, 2012. AHHHH. I don't know how I'm going to be able to wait all summer for it. I mean, come on, can't they just release it a month earlier? Although, I guess the long wait will make the book that much better. Plus I'll have plenty of time to re-read and re-read and re-read The Dragon's Tooth :) I can't wait to see how the Smith kids' dad, Lawrence, plays into the next book, and what happens with the tooth. I can already tell that The Drowned Vault will be an excellent read.
FINISHED!
I finished ND Wilson's The Dragon's Tooth!!! Ah man, what a great book. I know it took me awhile to finish since my last post, but I did it. ND Wilson could not have written a better ending. It was as action packed as an ending to a well written novel should be. The last page left me really curious as to WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON with Phoenix, and how the kids' lives will be in the future. You've done it again, Wilson, well done! Can't wait to read The Drowned Vault!
