I'm ill

Yeah, Tulio. I know how it feels.

I'm getting the flu (I'm not there yet, that's why I said "getting"), my head hurts from looking at the screen, so I'm not gonna be online too much. I'm almost done with the books I'm reading, so I'm gonna have a few reviews next week.

And Friday's my bday! Have you entered my contest?

Spanish cover for Girl Saves Boy, by Steph Bowe

Look at that pretty cover! I love this type of photography, the colours are great.

But, once again, the translators have done a terrible job with the title.

What translates to Spanish as Chica Salva a Chico, is now, The Lake Girl. So, I'm assuming there's a lake in Steph's book.

I have to say, I didn't think this book would be out in Spanish so soon, so that's a nice surprise!

It'll be released on April 8th (tomorrow!) in Spain by Editorial Montena, which has a mirror in Argentina! Meaning, it's likely we Argentines will get the book here soon!

We have our Peeta and Gale for The Hunger Games films. Beware: HORRIBLE CASTING AHEAD.

{via Heart Shaped Box and Mientras Lees}

Today we learned that Josh Hutcherson (Bridge to Terabithia, Zathura) and Liam Hemsworth (who the heck is he?) were cast to play Peeta Mellark and Gale Hawthorn, respectively.

Are you kidding me? Josh Hutcherson as Peeta? The Peeta I -and I imagine many others- have been waiting so long to see? He IS NOT PEETA to me. It doesn't matter that he'll be made-over, no amount of makeup can change him and make him look like the Peeta from my mind. He's a really good actor, to me anyway, but I do not see him as Peeta. And the other John isn't Gale either. How about they switched their roles up?

Terrible casting choices! For all the gods, who were the casting directors? I'm flying to the States now and setting up a strike or something at the production company. You can't do this to us fans, please! Listen to us on this one! They are not the ones for the roles! Forget about making millions of dollars. Don't you want to make a film that'll last in time?

Take the Harry Potter films for example. Who knew Dan, Emma and Rupert before them? No one. And look at them now, the most important young actors of our generation, to my eyes. Why not hire unknown actors to bring to life our beloved Peeta and Gale? Maybe they could do a better job than these two.

Being a Film student, I understand the beauty of telling stories through audiovisual arts. And this is just wrong. I don't mean to offend these actors, but seriously, the production's got it way, waaaaaaaaay wrong.

You can see that all they care about it making a commercial film, and as many millions as they can.

I'm torn between going and not going to see the film. But I know, in the end, I'll cave, and end up going. At least Jennifer Lawrence looks a bit like Katniss with her hair dyed.

Happy Blogoversary to Me! + 200 followers!!! + Happy Birthday to Me (not yet) = PARTY!

The Clock Monkey turned TWO last March 28th and I completely forgot! And I just realised I've reached 200 followers! :D Thank you, thank you, thank you!
And, my birthday's on Friday 15th! So, I thought: TCM's 2nd bday, reaching 200 followers, my birthday = we've got to celebrate somehow, right?

That means I'll be holding a giveaway to thank you for being there! My first giveaway!!! (The first giveaway I'll be funding)

Since I'm an international blogger, I know what it's like to not be able to enter a lot of these giveaways on the blogosphere. So, I'll be giving away a book of your choice! You choose a book under 15 American dollars, I buy it for you on The Book Depository (which, coincidentally, doesn't ship to Argentina, so I can't enter those giveaways either, but most of you aren't Argentine, so...), and you get it delivered to your house! Isn't that great! If only TBD shipped to my home country, I'd have a lot more books right now.

The rules for this giveaway are:

You don't have to be a follower, but I want to thank those of you who are. So if you're an old follower, you get +2 entries. (If you started following the blog before I reached 200, you enter into this category.)
Leave a comment wishing me a Happy Blogoversary + Happy Birthday (let's pretend it's my birthday)!
Leave me your email so it's easier for me to contact you. No email, no entry.
It's open internationally and it'll end on May 15th, a month away from my birthday.
The winner will have to be patient to get their prize, I've never done anything like this before, so it may take me a while to figure it out!

Thanks for being there! And good luck! Spread the word so others get the chance to participate too!
