Universal Pictures is going to make a movie based on Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr. (See our library catalog for more books and short stories by Melissa Marr.)

Read Melissa's thoughts about the film deal in her blog.   

Visit the Harper Teen site for more about the series beginning with Wicked Lovely, including more book trailers and an interview with Melissa Marr. 

Check out the book trailer for Wicked Lovely below:

The CW Network recently premiered  "The Vampire Diaries," a show based on the series by the same name written by  L. J. Smith.

Published on August 1, local author Maggie Stiefvater's novel "Shiver," is already a hit, debuting on the New York Times Best Sellers list. It's your basic teen love story: Girl meets boy. Boy meets girl. Boy is a werewolf ... fans of "Twilight," this is for you!

Watch the book trailer, created by Maggie (she's an artist too!) below:

Maggie is also author of "Lament: The Faerie Queen's Deception" and "Ballad: A Gathering of Faerie" Check out Maggie's web site (http://www.maggiestiefvater.com/) and blog (http://m-stiefvater.livejournal.com/), and follow her on Twitter, http://twitter.com/mstiefvater.

 This fall has a lot to offer vampire lovers. "Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant" (see the trailer) hits theaters October 23, and "New Moon" will be out November 20.
