Peek Daniel Sharman In Recording Studio For 'Clockwork Princess' Audiobook!

Posted 1/17/13 3:14 pm EST by Amy Wilkinson in Eye Candy, Page Turners, Photos

Remember yesterday when we told you that handsome "Teen Wolf" actor Daniel Sharman would be narrating the audiobook version of Cassandra Clare's long-awaited "Infernal Devices" conclusion, "Clockwork Princess"? Well, here—for your viewing pleasure—is an image of Daniel in the recording studio, primed to read Cassie's words with his swoon-worthy British accent. All together now: SWOOOOOOOOON!

But also, we should probably be totally jealous, right? Because in front of him, in all its glory, is a finished copy of "Clockwork Princess"—something we won't be able to get our grubby little hands (or ears) on until March 19. Do you think Daniel would accept a two-day-old PB&J sandwich bribe to tell us how it all ends? No? Bloody hell!

Get Enchanted By EXCLUSIVE 'What The Spell?' Trailer

Posted 1/14/13 12:46 pm EST by Kat Rosenfield in Crush Exclusive!, Page Turners, Videos

After spending most of our high school years wishing we could snap our fingers and turn our class' reigning queen bee into a newt (what, like you didn't?), there's something terribly seductive and fun about the idea that somewhere, somehow, a gifted young witch could magically manipulate her own high school experience into, y'know, not sucking.

So we are seriously loving the wish-fulfillment aspects of Brittany Geragotelis' "What the Spell?", the new YA novel coming this month whose trailer we have the EXCLUSIVE pleasure of debuting today! So grab your pointy hat and broomstick, and let's all peep the exciting story of a teenage witch whose new-found abilities could either save her sophomore year...or condemn her to the sort of hellish self-sabotage that can only come from the misuse of one's supernatural powers. Magic is pesky that way.

Meet Brooklyn Sparks: a girl whose greatest sweet 16th birthday gift is the ability to finally access her magical birthright. Drunk on power, the young witch makes big plans to rule the school, get the guy, and forever banish all traces of her natural hair color—all while steering clear of the freaky high school A-group led by a mean girl named Gigi.

You'll Want To Spend More Than 'Just One Day' With Gayle Forman's Latest Novel

Posted 1/11/13 2:16 pm EST by Amy Wilkinson in Page Turners

Just One Day I never know what jumble of emotions will flood over me as I crack the spine on a new Gayle Forman novel—but I always welcome the deluge. If one can be both giddy and melancholy in the same moment, well, that was my state as I turned the final page of the author's latest effort.

Part romance, part travelogue, part coming-of-age tale, "Just One Day" centers around straight-laced American teen Allyson Healey, who's spent the final weeks of her summer before college traveling with a study group in Europe. On the last night of the tour, Allyson meets Willem, a dreamy Dutchman who's part of an underground Shakespeare company. Allyson feels an instant connection, and a chance encounter the following day precipitates an invitation to spend the day with Willem in Paris.

Though Universal, the studio behind the adaptation of E L James' best-selling novel, issued a statement to The Hollywood Reporter saying, "A screenplay has not yet been written, a rating has not been designated, and we have no further comment," Christian Grey enthusiasts are still salivating over the possibility of SEEING IT ALL.

But how likely is such a risque rating? MTV News spoke with a number of box-office experts to find out.
