I think really the best part, writing wise, was the beginning....when Juliette only looked down on herself and had such beautifully composed thoughts....she was poetic and modest.
~~~~~~~~~~
I can shoot a hundred numbers through the chest and watch them bleed decimal points in the palm of my hand. I can rip the numbers off a clock and watch the hour hand tick tick tick its final tock just before I fall asleep. I can suffocate seconds just by holding my breath. I've been murdering minutes for hours and no one seems to mind."
You can find more quotes from an older teaser tuesday here. (there are some GREAT quotes there so check it out)
warner- he only has is his looks, and he is crazy, he kills people on a daily basis
or
Adam- a really sweet guy who is hot, respects people, and treats Juliette properly"
I honestly don't understand why anyone would be Team Warner (he is sick and gross and totally psychotic.) I mean...ok I've seen pictures and WOAHHHHH...........
Since we are talking pictures now here is a few more:
Alexandra Genis, Shatter Me's Cover Model!
See the resemblance? It's totally her....she would be PERFECT!
I am TEAM ADAM...because he is amazing.....there are so many great characteristics about him....he's...."good"....not evil...one of the only of his kind left on the planet.
In a summary...everything worked...there was NOT A SINGLE PART where I was bored or I didn't like it....
So I'll give you this awesome bonus stuff now:
It's an awesome fan made movie poster (if there's ever gonna be a movie....this would be a GREAT movie.)
WAIT......I thought of a bad thing.....it really has nothing to do with the book itself...but the covers.
I HATE THAT THEY CHANGED THEM!...I mean I LIKE the new covers...BUT I MY COVERS HAVE TO MATCH!!!!! UGHHH...I think they could have went in a good direction with these covers....but...oh well..
Now for the Spoiler-y Discussion:

Highlight between the brackets to view the spoilers
{ well.... let's start with the poem at the very beginning... :
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
and that has made all the difference.
—ROBERT FROST, "The Road Not Taken"
This poem is just the right fit. Most of the time (for me at least) the poems and quotes used in books...have no really full connection to the upcoming text....so I normally don't read those, I just skim and nothing relates...but THIS POEM....well it is a cardboard cutout of what Juliette really fulfills in the book....I can't explain it enough.
Another thing, here is a video of Tahereh and well...I find it super funny for some reason...it's really the Destroy Me reveal but there's on part that's just so true...so look at 0:49 it's true!!
How about Omega Point? I didn't think that's the direction the story was taking..but I gotta say....I really like it.
I really love the relationship Adam and Juliette have...it's as though they've had this unspoken connection forever and they finally talk about it and realize how in love they are.....because they were the only ones each other had at the time......they've always been most important to each other and now it's finally out. (it's so unique!)
Lastly, PoopieCocoa on Youtube recently said:
"i think the secret to be immune to her touch is to love her."

Let me know what you think!
Here are both book trailers. My favorite is the first one.

Sorry that they are only links....I really want to add the direct video but Blogger apparently is only letting me add one....I tried embedding it but it didn't recognize the HTML...if anyone knows the answer to that PLEASE tell me....
ANYWAY,
one of our newer features is adding music to our books. (you can find it under the "playlist" tab here.) So a great song, I believe, for Shatter Me would be White Glag by Dido because it's about not giving up, and now bowing down....and it's sort of like Juliette talking to Warner (and sometimes Adam in the begining.) Juliette is willing to do anything for her cause.
"I'm in love and always will be" is sort of a diss at Warner because he is in love with her but she is in love with Adam.
It's a great song...anyone have any good songs to go with Shatter Me?
Dido – White Flag
Tell me what you guys thought/think/are going to think (I don't really know about the last one.....) about this book!
