What's one book to movie/tv show adaptation that you can't wait to watch?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I just found out THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY by Jenny Han is being made into a tv show and I'm so excited! I also saw they just announced the main cast for the show! Eeek!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Also, I can't wait to watch INSTANT KARMA by Marissa Meyer come to life. I think that production is still a ways out, but still very exciting!

Did anyone else binge-watch Julie and the Phantoms

Did anyone else binge-watch Julie and the Phantoms when it came out or was it just me? Catch me jamming to the music from this show and anxiously awaiting season 2!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Julie Molina is about to make it big with her band, Julie and the Phantoms. There's only one catch: All her bandmates are ghosts.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Back in the 1990s, Luke, Reggie, and Alex were on the cusp of rock stardom with their band, Sunset Curve, before an unfortunate encounter with Los Angeles street food brought their rock band dreams—and lives—to an end. Now, with Julie as their lead singer, the guys have a second chance at stardom.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But being bandmates—and maybe more than bandmates?—is hard enough as it is! Can Julie, Luke, Reggie, and Alex keep playing gigs and growing their fan base without anyone figuring out their big secret?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Finish the title: How Moon Fuentez…⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A road trip around the country leads to romance and some profound truths in Raquel Vasquez Gilliland’s HOW MOON FUENTEZ FELL IN LOVE WITH THE UNIVERSE. Here are a few things that I loved about this book:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Moon is the best! She has doubts and fears at the beginning of the book and it‘s amazing to see how she conquers these and moves forward with her life.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• I love road trip type stories and this one was a lot of fun! It was especially great to read after being kept away from traveling and concerts for so long.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• The relationship between Moon and her man felt believable. Sometimes, YA romances can be rushed or way too cringy, but this one was really well done. It was perfectly paced and felt well developed.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• This book was painfully honest in so many ways. One of the ways was talking about how Moon was the “underdog sister”. She was the one no one really looked at or paid attention to. Vasquez Gilliland does a great job of allowing us to feel this pain of Moon’s and then helping her to reach her true potential.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• This book was very relatable. I think everyone can relate to Moon or something that she goes through at some point.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Big thanks to @tbrbeyondtours & @raquelvasquezgilliland_poet for having me on this tour and for the advanced copy of this book! Be sure to check out my blog post for the complete tour schedule and to learn more about the author.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
