October 27, 2011 1 comment

This is my first time to join this meme! The weekly Wishlist Wednesday is a book blog hop where participants post about a book from their wishlist (via the Pen to Paper blog) and visit the other participating blogs to find out what’s new on their wish lists!

This is totally pricey at $43.97, but WTH, I’m putting the Harry Potter Page to Screen: The Complete Filmmaking Journey [Hardcover] by Bob McCabe on my Christmas wish list! This will make a great addition to my Harry Potter collection, and I’m pretty sure I’ll still enjoy looking through it when I’m 82! :)

Here’s the product description!

Harry Potter: Page to Screen opens the doors to Hogwarts castle and the wizarding world of Harry Potter to reveal the complete behind-the-scenes secrets, techniques, and over-the-top artistry that brought J.K. Rowling’s acclaimed novels to cinematic life. Developed in collaboration with the creative team behind the celebrated movie series, this deluxe, 500-plus page compendium features exclusive stories from the cast and crew, hundreds of never-before-seen photographs and concept illustrations sourced from the closed film sets, and rare memorabilia.

Years after she left, she and her five-year-old daughter, Isabella, must return to her sleepy North Carolina town to face the ghosts she left behind.

NOOK Daily Find! Pujols by Scott Lamb for $4.99!

October 26, 2011 Leave a comment

Well… Barnes & Noble has a new promo — the NOOK Daily Find: Today’s Great Book at a Great Price! So, Nook owners need not be envious of those with Kindles! ;)

And the new deal is…

Pujols: More Than the Game‘ by Scott Lamb (Thomas Nelson) is now available at the specially discounted price of $2.80 on the B&N Nookbooks site. Huh, it’s cheaper at Amazon at $3.74!

Book Description

A powerful story of the unprecedented athletic feats and accomplishments of one of the greatest baseball players to ever live . . . and the faith that has made them possible.

After only ten seasons, the St. Louis Cardinals’ Albert Pujols is already one of the greatest players to have ever laced up a pair of spikes. But when adulation and glory come his way, Pujols is quick to credit another—to point people to his hero. “At the end of the day,” he says, “as long as I glorify Him, and those 45,000 people know who I represent … that’s what it’s about. It’s about representing God.” In Pujols: More Than the Game, authors Tim Ellsworth and Scott Lamb will satisfy fans who like their baseball slathered in stats and stories . . . while at the same time, shedding light on the faith that makes it all possible.

Hannah cannot move on.

She pines for Jacob, the boy who saved her life when she drowned, bringing her back from the brink of death by breathing life into her.

But Jacob is gone now, buried.

Levi’s love for Hannah burns just as strong. But he knows how much Hannah loved his brother Jacob. He also knows the troubling event that took Jacob out of their lives. And he lives with that lie every day.

So when a stranger named Akiva comes to their community, he carries with him two secrets that will change their lives forever: he is in fact Jacob, whom Hannah had lost. And he is now a vampire.

When passions stir and secrets are revealed, Hannah must choose between light and dark, between the one she has always loved and the new possibility of love. But it’s more than a choice of passion; it’s a decision that will determine the fate of her soul.
