Beautiful Disaster By Jamie McGuire

Ok so this is a big deal to me. There are rumours of "beautiful disaster" being made into a Warner Bros movie and im over the moon.

Julia Hart ("The keeping room") has been hired to write the screenplay!
It is said that the studio acquired the rights to Jamie's novel for Donald De Line to produce (arh)

So my hopes for this Movie. Well i want unknown actors to play the roles. That way they really fit into it and i can actually see them as the characters, known actors wouldnt be able to accomplish this in my opinion so it would be a massive let down knowing one of my favourite books of all time would be ruined by the movie. Now whilst i enjoyed Twilight the books the movie was a let down because actors just didnt go well and im not trying to diss it to the twilovers (i still enjoy the movies and own them all) i just dont want this book to be a repeat. Im sure all those whom have read a book and then been let down by the film will understand.

This year alone we have:
beautiful creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl
City of bones by Cassandra clare (my all time favourite book series)
The Host by Stephanie Meyer
With talk about Vampire Academy (second favourite book series) with the name changed to "blood sisters", If i stay and Daughter of smoke and bone being made.

After reading Beautiful Disaster i decided to get a tattoo done that represents what the book meant to me and how i feel it is an example of little bits to my own life. You might not understand it but to me its the second most meaningful tattoo i have. The first being my sons name.

Now this isnt the best picture of it but it still looks amazing.

Walker disaster Spoiler 2


Second spoiler for the book "walking disaster" due out April 2



Shepley walked out of his bedroom pulling a T-shirt over his head. His eyebrows pushed together. “Did they just leave?”
“Yeah,” I said absently, rinsing my cereal bowl and dumping Abby’s leftover oatmeal in the sink. She’d barely touched it.
“Well, what the hell? Mare didn’t even say goodbye.”
“You knew she was going to class. Quit being a cry baby.”
Shepley pointed to his chest. “I’m the cry baby? Do you remember last night?”
“Shut up.”
“That’s what I thought.” He sat on the couch and slipped on his sneakers. “Did you ask Abby about her birthday?”
“She didn’t say much, except that she’s not into birthdays.”
“So what are we doing?”
“Throwing her a party.” Shepley nodded, waiting for me to explain. “I thought we’d surprise her. Invite some of our friends over and have America take her out for a while.”
Shepley put on his white ball cap, pulling it down so low over his brows I couldn’t see his eyes. “She can manage that. Anything else?”
“How do you feel about a puppy?”
Shepley laughed once. “It’s not my birthday, bro.”
I walked around the breakfast bar and leaned my hip against the stool. “I know, but she lives in the dorms. She can’t have a puppy.”
“Keep it here? Seriously? What are we going to do with a dog?”
“I found a Cairn Terrier online. It’s perfect.”
“A what?”
“Pidge is from Kansas. It’s the same kind of dog Dorothy had in the Wizard of Oz.”
Shepley’s face was blank. “The Wizard of Oz.”
“What? I liked the scarecrow when I was a little kid, shut the fuck up.”
“It’s going to crap every where, Travis. It’ll bark and whine and … I don’t know.”
“So does America … minus the crapping.”
Shepley wasn’t amused.
“I’ll take it out and clean up after it. I’ll keep it in my room. You won’t even know it’s here.”
“You can’t keep it from barking.”
“Think about it. You gotta admit it’ll win her over.”
Shepley smiled. “Is that what this is all about? You’re trying to win over Abby?”
My brows pulled together. “Quit it.”
His smile widened. “You can get the damn dog…”
I grinned with victory.
“…if you admit you have feelings for Abby.”
I frowned in defeat. “C’mon, man!”
“Admit it,” Shepley said, crossing his arms. What a tool. He was actually going to make me say it.
I looked to the floor, and everywhere else except Shepley’s smug ass smile. I fought it for a while, but the puppy was fucking brilliant. Abby would flip out (in a good way for once), and I could keep it at the apartment. She’d want to be there every
day.
“I like her,” I said through my teeth.
Shepley held his hand to his ear. “What? I couldn’t quite hear you.”
“You’re an asshole! Did you hear that?”
Shepley crossed his arms. “Say it.”
“I like her, okay?”
“Not good enough.”
“I have feelings for her. I care about her. A lot. I can’t stand it when she’s not around. Happy?”
“For now,” he said, grabbing his backpack off the floor.


Enjoy guys :)
