Wow! Can you believe we are almost to the halfway point? The read-a-thon sure does fly by. It feels like we just started. Sad face.
But! We have more fun, challenges, and reading to look forward to for the next twelve hours so let’s get to it.
For this mini-challenge, take a short break and share a book trailer with us. It could be your favorite book trailer, it can be a trailer of your favorite book, or it can be a trailer for a book you want to read. The possibilities are many. To play, leave a comment with the link to your blog post featuring the trailer or a link to the trailer itself.
This challenge starts at 3pm PST and ends at 6pm PST (hour 11 to hour 14). Two prizes will be given. One: winner’s choice of book from trailer featured by participants during this challenge and two: a journals are greater than blogs bookmark.
I’ll start by sharing a trailer that was shared the most by participants during the April 2011 version of this mini-challenge.

Here’s my entry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tm7nliQYGGA A great trailer for the third book in Patrick Ness’ Chaos Walking Trilogy, Monsters of Men.
Amazing book, and one of the coolest trailers I’ve seen: Forbidden by Ted Dekker and Tosca Lee!
I love this book series ❤
I loved the Death Cure trailer!

Scandalous Desires by Elizabeth Hoyt. This literally made me LOL’d. I love how it doesn’t take itself too seriously.
Nice challenge! 🙂
Well, that’s a book I (and all the other fans) have been waiting for for years. So I think it deserves this trailer. Haven’t read it yet, though. Waiting the paperback release, cause all my other parts of the series are paperback 😉
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter! lol
Sorry, the embed didn’t work. I’ll just leave the link this time:
Death Cure by James Dashner
And here’s my blog about it!
Here is mine – Crossed by Ally Condie which I can’t wait for!
Oh, this is definitely an easy one for me – you can see a trailer for a book that I loved at this link below:

The trailer for Forever by Maggie Stiefvater is so beautiful ❤
My favorite book trailer is definitely for The Boy with the Cuckoo-Clock Heart by Mathias Malzieu. The song is in French, but I think a translation would ruin the ambience anyway. Hope you all like it too! The book was also unique and delightful – in a bizarre, steampunkery way.
Oh man, I love this song! I own the book in french even! <33333
Here’s my pick for Book Trailer for this 11th hour 🙂

I don’t really watch book trailers but I love the one you included. Haven ‘t read it but the trailer makes me want to! Happy reading, Jehara!

I am not a big fan of book trailers so for me to actually have one means it must be AWESOME:
This is hands down my favourite book trailer of all time – Mudbound by Hillary Jordan. There’s just this lovely narrative quality I love to it, with a vivid, memorable narrator and haunting music.
Here is my post! I honestly LOVED the creepiness of the book trailer I chose!

Odd Hours! I love all things Odd Thomas:

This is one of my most absolute favorite trailers (i usually think they’re lame but this one is so cool!)
Hey great idea for a challenge!
Here’s the link to my trailer post –

Love this trailer for Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters
I was really impressed by the book trailer for The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland . . .
I love the drawings, and the song is beautiful and fits perfectly.
This is the one I picked too!
Here’s one I thought was really good for The Invention of Hugo Cabret:
Here is a trailer for Clockwork Prince that I like!
You stole my favorite book trailer! I have always loved the trailer for Wither (always being since it came out…) I don’t look at book trailers that often and I can’t think of any others. This one isn’t as good, but still interesting… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zB3AmlIoGjc&feature=related

So many good trailers here! (I love The Chemical Garden Trilogy!! – Wither was great!
Mine is posted here.
One of my have books:
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, Mary Ann Shaffer
My favorite book trailer (I don’t watch many book trailers) has to be Meg Cabot’s funny clip for her novel Runaway. Link is below.
I don’t know why it cracks me up so much but it’s just so great. =)
Nice challenge. Mine is posted on my blog but I will post here as well. Blog link: http://sortofbeautiful.com/?p=2144
Mine is a fan-made vid for The Hunger Games
Stephen the King, Under the Dome . . . it’s in my TBR pile, and I saw that someone was reading it earlier for the readathon. (Let’s see if this works!)
Hmmm… mine is probably the Faustine book trailer by Imogen Rose!

*smiles*
This one! I just found it! Such an awesome book! Hold Me Closer, Necromancer!
Here’s the trailer for a book I’m considering picking up next…I have no idea how accurate it is, but I think it’s adorable! So everyone else will have to let me know if it’s right, because I think I’m the last blogger to read Anna and the French Kiss!
Here is the link to my favorite book trailer http://butnotascuteaspushkin.tumblr.com/post/11792356324#notes
Silence by Becca Fitzpatrick
I shared the trailer for Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys: http://thestorygirlbookreviews.blogspot.com/2011/10/readathon-update-post.html
The book trailer for The Healer’s Apprentice is what got me interested in it 🙂
Oh neat! I have that book in my pile to read! =)
Beowulf, one of my favorite books of all time.
Here is the book I’m reading….

I made a post for it; here’s the link

A must watch!! I absolutely adored the trailer for “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children”. It was so well done it was almost like a professional movie trailer and best of all it made you want to read the book so badly! The book is also a must read!
Great Mini-Challenge! Happy Read-a-thon!

Shades of Milk and Honey is on my TBR list, I’m in the reservation queue in my library. I also really love the aesthetics of the trailer with the silhouette shapes.

I couldn’t find the trailer on youtube, which is the only way I know to display videos, so please click on the link!
Coraline by Neil Gaiman (click link to see trailer)
I love Neil Gaiman, and here he discusses “the fear of buttons” and how it relates to his book Coraline. I actually know someone who is afraid of buttons.

My favorites of all time:
Super Sad True Love Story

Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters
