Weekly Wrap-Up + LifeLik3 GIVEAWAY!



The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kim @ Caffeinated Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on your blog and showcase books and things we have received. Share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead. 


Life Beyond Books 


Life Lik3 by Jay Kristoff Sydney Launch

This was an awesome experience. He was extremely TALL but very down to earth. Just a few fun facts that he mentioned at the event:-
  • He gets a tattoo for each book he writes, he's due for 4 more tattoos and he has booked in for Jay Maxwell a Western Australia tattooist.
  • Illuminae Files movie rights has been purchased by Brad Pitt's production company...can't wait for this! 
  • Jason Chan is his favourite illustrator
  • He'd have Bob Marley play Nick in Gemina and Kristin Stewart play Hannah
  • Inspiration for Mia (Nevernight Chronicles) are Uma Thurman and Emily Strange
  • Ezra from Illuminae was named after Ezra Miller, although they don't look anything alike

If you missed his LifeLik3 tour, don't despair, there's a fair few upcoming books to be released including the conclusion to The Nevernight Chronicles; Darkdawn and another project with Co-Author, Amie Kaufman...get excited!
