Favorite Authors

Here are some of my favorite authors of all time, along with some of their famous titles.
Sarah Dessen with The truth about forever, which I absolutely loved, and will be reviewing later on..

Jerry Spinelli with StarGirl and Loser, which are honestly two of my favorite books.

Maggie Stiefvater with the amazing Wolves of mercy falls series, actually I started this blog after reading Shiver to share my love for the book (:

Cornelia Funke with the Inkheart trilogy. Honestly I fell in love with reading when I read Inkheart, it was one of my first thick chapter books.

And of course, the famous Roald Dahl with Matilda<3 my favorite book ever. The BFG a book too cute, and the Fantastic Mr. Fox.

Inkheart the movie

Imagine being able to read aloud, and objects and or creatures appear. Wouldn't it be amazing if this could happen to you? Well this is what happens to Meggie and her father Mo. They have a soecial gift, the ability to read anythi out of a book.
However when Mo accidently reads Capricorn out of Inkheart, trouble begins as Mo and Meggie try to get him back into the book.
I do not think the movie was good, it was too open ended and you do not know many of the battle that the characters have with themselves, compared to the book I Prefer the book. The movie was open ended. The acting was ok, and the plot was tweaked a little too much. Over all I did NOT like this movie.
I give this movie a 3, because it just didn't live up to the book. Which is one of my faveorites..

Inkheart By: Cornelia Funke

Synopsis
  One cruel night, Meggie's father reads aloud from InkHeart, and an evil ruler named Capricorn escapes the boundaries of fiction and lands in their living room. Suddenly, Meggie is smack in the middle of the kind of adventure she has only read about in books. Somehow, Meggie must learn to harness the magic that has conjured this nightmare. Only she can change the course of the story that has changed her life forever. A timeless tale about books, about imagination,about life. Dare to read it aloud!


Review
  This is the first book in the InkHeart triology, and it is also now a major motion picture, which i will review later. I picked this book up at I think a book fair and I just needed to own it simple as that!
  This is the story of Meggie, the shy bookworm and her father the bookbinder, who later becomes know as Silvertongue, becuase this rare gift or according to him curse, you see when he reads alound the words leap off the page and become real, characters things anything.
  Unfortunately he can't control what goes in or what comes out. This time Resa his wife goes in and Capricorn, the ruler of Inkheart, Baptista his second in command, which I refer to as the knife psycho. Plus the poor firebender Dustfinger who wishes nothing more than to go back to the pages of Inkheart.
  After years of running, Mo finally manages to get caught by Capricorn, who wants to use his powers for dark things, and maybe Meggie as well?
 Inkheart, in my opnion is simply brilliant, it was one of my first "Big" books, and it sort of made me fall in love with reading. I hope everyone likes it as much as I do. I give Inkheart a 5 out of 5.
