In a Tizzy Tuesday - The Week Where EVERYTHING Happened


So, as you can read from the title, a hell of a lot happened this week. And not just little bits, ridiculously ginormous things. It's safe to say I was in a tizzy a lot this week. But, unlike most times, it was for very legitimate reasons. I'M JUST SO EXCITED!!!

 ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

Adam Silvera - They Both Die At The End Cover Reveal
29220714So Adam Silvera's bringing out a new book. Permission to cry in preparation for this heart-stabber is granted. That is if you have any tears left after 'History Is All You Left Me'. Is it just me, or is YA getting sadder and sadder? Which is not a bad thing! Those feels can keep on coming as far as I'm concerned, it's just that I've noticed that in the past few years so many YA books with melancholy themes have been coming out, but that might just be me going for them more? I don't know, let me know what you think! 

Anyway, back to the cover. Isn't it just amazing? I can honestly say I am so excited to have this beauty on my shelf. But, knowing my luck this will be the American only version and the UK will have a completely different and completely ugly version. Why does that happen so often? I preorder a book I've been looking forward to for months and when it arrives, I open it up to find a cover designed by someone who should not be designing covers

Goodreads - The rereads option
So Goodreads challenges are a thing. Are they a good or a bad thing? Different people think different things. Some, like me, love them. They help you keep track of all the book you've read in a year, you can set yourself a goal to help you stay motivated and you can bask in awe and glory when you complete it. Some, like me, hate them. It has a condescending attitude with its 'books behind' malarky, for some reason you always set it too high and you see these machines that have their challenge set to about 200 billion books, and somehow still complete them so you can't help but feel a bit down. Another big reason as to why some people didn't like them, which was thankfully amended this week, was the fact that rereads didn't count towards the end goal. I mean, you're still reading a book, so why shouldn't it? But now that dilemma is no more, you can go back to your own favourites with no regret. Yay!

Nicola Yoon - Everything, Everything trailer 
As you've probably realised, this 'In a Tizzy Tuesday' is not being released on a Tuesday, as the name would suggest, but a Wednesday his week instead. That's because, on Monday night, a trailer was released!  Everything, Everything was by far my favourite book of last year and now it's being made into a film! Much excitement. You can find the trailer here is you wanted to see it. The casting is actual perfection? Even though I did see Olly wearing a hat in my head. Was that just me? I'm sure he wore hats. But that's just me being picky as per usual

What do you guys make of the trailer? What's your favourite film based on a book? Do you see Olly in a hat? Love or hate Goodreads challenges? Feel my pain with UK vs US cover editions? Le me know in the comments!

About the book (Taken from Goodreads):
My disease is as rare as it is famous. Basically, I’m allergic to the world. I don’t leave my house, have not left my house in seventeen years. The only people I ever see are my mom and my nurse, Carla.

But then one day, a moving truck arrives next door. I look out my window, and I see him. He’s tall, lean and wearing all black—black T-shirt, black jeans, black sneakers, and a black knit cap that covers his hair completely. He catches me looking and stares at me. I stare right back. His name is Olly.

Maybe we can’t predict the future, but we can predict some things. For example, I am certainly going to fall in love with Olly. It’s almost certainly going to be a disaster.


My review:
My heart literally melted. My heart was so happy it exploded from my body and jumped so high it's now on the moon. My heart was so excited that it wanted to feel the book on its muscles for instead. It's very safe to say that I liked this book tremendously.

Unless I read something in the next 2 and a half months, this will be my favourite book of the year. And I've read some pretty good books this year.

Never before have I read a book in one sitting. It was so good that I literally couldn't put it down until I'd finished it. I started it at 9pm and finished it at 3am. I didn't even put it down to eat or pee or sleep. None of those things seemed in any way more important than this book. And if that doesn't make it an amazing book then I don't know what does.

This book was perfect in every way. I can see why they called it everything, everything because it literally was everything. Maddie was everything, Olly was everything, Carla was everything, the plot twists were everything, the romance was everything, the way the book was set out in different layouts was everything. EVERYTHING was everything!

This book made me cry, this book made me laugh, this book made me sit staring at a wall when it was done because I didn't know what to do with my life. I loved it so much my heart hurts everytime I think about it.

If you only ever listen to one thing I say, or if you only ever read one book again, make it be this one. Seriously, read this book, it's absolutely breath-taking.

I've also got 'The Sun is Also a Star' sitting on my shelf, which I can't wait to read, but because of my stupid set of reading rules,  I can't read it until I've finished two other books. My expectations  are so high for that book, it would be devastating f it wasn't as good or better.

Have you read 'Everything, Everything'? Read 'The Sun is Also a Star' yet (Please don't spoil it for me)? What's your favourite book so far for this year? Let's talk about it in the comments!
