There’s this thing about me that I don’t disclose much on the intrawebs and that is: I love watching book trailers. Not because I think they’re wonderfully made or that they’re representative of the content, but because a lot of them are so awful I think it’s funny.
Take Boys That Bite by Mari Mancusi, a trailer so funnily awful that I would never touch the book ever. (SUNNY and RAYNE ahahahahahha)
Or Girl in the Arena by Lisa Haines, a trailer so hilariously wrong I felt the need to find a copy of it in my library. (not enough to actually check it out of the library, mind, but a lot better than the previous. And say what you want, but you'll remember the title after the trailer is over.)
*coughs* But I’m not here to inflict my collection of awful book trailers at you. Instead, I’ll be posting my top 5 book trailers I came across this year! In no particular order~
MOVIE-ESQUE SCARY TRAILER - The Maze Runner by James Dashner
THE COOL TEXT STUFF - Liar by Justine Larbalestier and The Van Alen Legacy by Melissa de la Cruz
PRETTY STILLS - Silver Phoenix by Cindy Pon
STILLS WITH AWESOME QUOTES READ ALOUD BY AWESOME SPEAKER - Mudbound by Hilary Jordan
(There's a nicer, longer trailer on BookSpots.Com, but I can't seem to link it no matter what I do, so I guess look for it yourself if you wanna see?)
So, what book trailers do you like watching? Or if you just feel like sharing those really awful-yet-hilarious trailers, I'm totally down with that. =D
