More to look forward to for Marshmallows and book lovers in 2014

It`s not exactly brand new information at this point but I still thought it deserved a blog post. Last friday, 14th of march, the Veronica Mars movie premiered all over the world. Many fans has seen it probably more than once already and I`m sure most of us already want more, right? At least I do, and that`s why I am so happy that already on March 25th the first of at least two Veronica Mars books will be released. The second one will come out later this year. The title of the book is "The Thousand Dollar Tan Line" and it will continue where the movie ended.

                             

The creator of Veronica Mars, Rob Thomas, actually started out as a novelist and one of the shows strenghts is its excellent and witty writing so I don`t see the need to lower any expectations to this book. The story of the novel is a story he`s been wanting to tell since the TV-show got cancelled but when the time came to make the movie there was another story that needed to be told first, about how the character`s been doing and how they get back together. If there will be a second movie it is likely that it`s based on this book. If not, Rob Thomas promises that the story of the book will not be overlooked if a second movie is based on a different story. If there`ll be another movie is dependant on how well this first movie will do and so far it looks good.

If you haven`t seen the TV-show you should definitely watch it, but it`s not mandatory before watching the movie. I don`t know if you should watch the movie before reading the book but I will get back to you on that once I`ve read it:-)

Are you a marshmallow like me?

I haven`t been the a particularly good blogger lately. To be honest I haven`t really been in a great blogging or reading mood lately. When I looked at my reading list to see if there was a book I could review I couldn`t find a single YA-book in english. Hopefully this will change in the near future, but for now I thought I could tell you about some of the things that have caught my attention lately, both book-related and none book-related. I´ll start off with the latter in this post:

One of my favorite TV-shows, Veronica Mars, is being made in to a movie! If you´re a fan you probably already knew and maybe like me and my sister you supported the Kickstarter campaign last month. If you`re not, this is the time to become a marshmallow;-)

I started  to watch the show because of my younger sister that keeps making me watch and read things I probably would`nt if not for her. We watched the first two seasons together and I caught up with her for the third and unfortunately last season. We hoped there would be a fourth one and they even made a teaser/trailer for a posible fourth season on the DVD, but it got cancelled. Now we all get to see the ending that we expected to get back then. I think the movie is expected in the first half of 2014 and for now the only confirmed cast members are Kristen Bell as Veronica, Jason Dohring as Logan and Enrico Colantoni as Keith Mars. Hopefully we`ll also get to see Dick, Wallace, Weevil, Mac, and maybe even Duncan.  I have already started to watch the show again, and am really excited for this movie. In Norway they`re all available on Netflix  so maybe they`re available for subscibers all over the world. Here the first 5 minutes of episode 1, season 1:
