So Heres my pick this week!

Lament by Maggie Stiefvater

Book Synopsis: Sixteen-year-old Deirdre Monaghan, a gifted harpist who regularly plays for weddings and other events, has the kind of stage fright that makes her physically ill before a performance, which is an inauspicious way to start a romance; but while vomiting before a competition she meets a gorgeous boy who comes into the restroom to hold her hair. He is Luke Dillon, a flautist who proceeds to accompany her in a truly stellar performance. As four-leaf clovers start appearing everywhere, Deirdre develops telekinetic powers and encounters strange, unworldly people who seem to bear her ill will. Her best friend, James, also a talented musician; her beloved grandmother; and her mother all are in danger, as Deirdre is targeted by the queen of Faerie. Deirdre eventually discovers that she is a cloverhand, a person who can see the denizens of faerie, and Luke, not the only immortal who has her in his sights, is a gallowglass, an assassin assigned by the queen of Faerie to kill Deirdre but who falls in love with her instead.

And my Picks:


Garrett Hedlund as Luke
Anton Yelchin as James 
Camilla Belle as the Queen
An Indie unknown as Deirdre

How fun was that.....?? So what do think of my choices?

    I haven't read this book yet (though it's sitting in my TBR pile), but I love Garret Hedlund. I've never heard of Victoria Justice before, but she has a kind of ethereal beauty to her. I like it. Thanks for participating! :)

    Great picks! Love the smirk on the James character. He was my favorite. I like this idea. We've got to put together a post of this. Thanks for the fun!
