Quiet Weekend, Vampire Academy..

Hi guys!
Hope you have had a happy week and a nice weekend.
So there isn't much point to this post unfortunately, just going to ramble on about some things as usual haha.

So I've been having a nice quiet weekend at home, haven't gone out or done anything particularly interesting, but sometimes I think we need these type of weekends, to reflect on the week and just have some down time, catch up on missed sleep and just hang around with loved ones.

One thing I have done this weekend is Re-read the first 4 books in the Vampire Academy series as the movie based on the first book comes out on February 14th; which I have to admit, I'm a bit nervous/excited about. I love the books and have read them many times over and I've followed the official Facebook movie page for a few years now and followed the process of choosing the actors/actresses, and although I wasn't convinced beforehand of how well they suit their rolls, after seeing the trailer I am pleased with that aspect.
However...After seeing the trailer I'm wondering how true to the books will the movie be...after all the trailer looks like a mean girls/twilight parody which isn't what VA is about.
I like that they kept the comedy aspect as we all know how Bad Ass Rose is, her jokes and snarkiness made the comedy in the books.

I'm also curious as to why they seem to be wearing uniforms..I don't remember the books mentioning uniforms, I suppose to save budget and save the hassle of dressing all the extras differently, but it just bothered me a tad bit.
Also what is up with Lissa's dress? there are tons of prettier dresses...it doesn't suit Lucy Fry (Lissa) at all. I hope that the costumes improve with the film's budget (Fingers crossed).

Either way, you can bet your bottom dollar that I will be sitting in the Cinema on Valentines Day.

Let me know what you think of the movie, books, if you've read them or not down below.
Hope you have a wonderful week ahead, take care
