Simon Vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda is coming to the big screen

*OMG OMG OMG I’M TOTALLY FREAKING OUT HERE*

Deadline announced a bit ago that FOX 2000 has acquired the rights to the Simon Vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda novel, by Becky Albertalli. People, Simon is going to become a movie!!! Who’s excited about this? (Besides me, obviously!)

I love this book so much, it’s one of my favorites of this year, and I think it could be an amazing movie, and I can’t wait to see Simon and Blue on the big screen 😀 .

“EXCLUSIVE: Fox 2000 has acquired a package for an adaptation of a popular YA novel that’s described as John Hughes-style coming-of-age, coming-out story. The studio bought Simon Vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda, a debut novel by Becky Albertelli that will be produced by Wyck Godfrey, Marty Bowen and Isaac Klausner (The Fault In Our Stars) of Temple Hill, and Pouya Shahbazian (Divergent) of New Leaf. The script will be written by Isaac Aptaker & Elizabeth Berger, who planned to pitch studios all over town, only to see Elizabeth Gabler’s division quickly take it off the table, preemptively. 

The novel focuses on Simon Spier, a 16-year-old not-so-openly gay student. When an email written by Simon falls into the wrong hands, his secret is at risk of being made public. Change-averse Simon is forced to find a way to step out of his comfort zone before he’s pushed out — in a way that won’t alienate his friends, compromise himself or ruin a shot at happiness with the most confusing, adorable guy he hasn’t even met yet.

Fox 2000’s Erin Simonoff and Molly Saffron moved quickly to acquire the book, and New Leaf’s Chris McEwen will be associate producer. HarperCollins published the novel this year and it is set to roll out in 19 countries.“

Day 1 I did an Eleanor & Park quote, today I’m going for another favorite of mine that I read this year, My Heart and Other Black Holes by Jasmine Warga. I loved this book. Depression and suicide are serious topics and we should all read more about it. And coincidently, this was also my book for today’s Book Traveling Thursday.

Book Traveling Thursdays: A Book that Scared Me

Hello, welcome back to another Book Traveling Thursdays, which a weekly meme created by Cátia @The Girl Who Read Too Much and Danielle @Danielle’s Book Blog. The goal is to share the covers of a book related to that week’s theme, which you can see at the Goodreads group, indicating the original cover, the one of your country, your favorite and least favorite.

This week’s theme is “Halloween is only 2 days away! Choose a book that scared you“. I’m going to go with a different kind of scary, because I don’t read scary books. So, my scary will be of the emotional kind, and for that, nothing more perfect than My Heart and Other Black Holes by Jasmine Warga.

Original COver:

I love this cover so so much. I love the colours and the design, and I wish I owned the hardcover, because that one feels amazing. I do own this version in paperback, which is cool enough I guess.

COVER FROM MY COUNTRY (PORTUGAL) & COVER FROM THE COUNTRY I LIVE IN (SPAIN):

Unfortunately this book is still not out in Portugal, but it is in Spain. I’m not a fan of this cover, although it is definitely not the worst one.

Favorite COVER(s):

                                   

I’ve already mention how much I love the original cover, But I really like this new e-book american edition as well… so I’ll share the love.

LEAST FAVORITE COVER(s):

    

These covers are pretty bad. First comes the Danish, which is just ugly! Then (obviously) the Russian, and I say obviously because I’ve been featuring Russian covers in this section for a while now. This cover is ugly, although it does kind of speaks to the story… And then the Italian cover, which would have been nice if this wasn’t a story about depression and teen suicide.
