Whoa! Where has the time gone! We are already starting November! Didn't we just start October!?! Sheesh! The year is now two months over! But, of course, 2014 has been anything but boring! With so much happening, it is hard to keep up! And, boy, has it been a whirlwind of movies, shows, and books!
As I look back, I am blown away at how much has come and gone...and stuck! The trend of making film adaptations of YA books and comic books is still going strong! Some have made it big, and some weren't so lucky. Despite the ups and downs with the success of these films, the trend is still going strong. The same can be said about television! Yes, there are a few TV shows that have successful enough to get renewed season after season. Let's add spin-off shows in the mix! We got a taste of a spin-off show with The Originals, the spin-off from The Vampire Diaries. And now, it's standing strong on its own! That's just one show of several others. The cool thing about spin-offs is that there can be cross-over episodes with the characters and storylines!
So...November is another month filled with exciting new releases, television series premieres of new and returning shows, and new books! Let's see what what we can look forward to in November!

Retribution has arrived.
Ever wondered about the enigmatic, mysterious warlock Magnus Bane? The only character to appear in every Shadowhunter book, Magnus has a past even more shrouded in mystery than his present. I’ve teamed up with acclaimed YA writers Maureen Johnson and Sarah Rees Brennan to create the Bane Chronicles, the back (and front) story of Magnus told in ten linked tales.
Look for short stories like Vampires, Scones and Edmund Herondale; The Rise and Fall of the Hotel Dumort; Saving Raphael Santiago and What To Buy The Shadowhunter Who Has Everything (And Who You’re Not Officially Dating Anyway). Each story will be available as an ebook on a monthly basis starting April 16 with the tale of What Happened In Peru.
Each story will be released monthly online for the next ten months — and then for those who don’t read e-books, the full print collection will be available in bookstores and wherever else books are sold after the Chronicles have been finished.

Genre:
Thriller/Horror Mystery Fiction
Publish Date:
November 11, 2014
Synopsis:
A dark and electrifying novel about addiction, fanaticism, and what might exist on the other side of life.
In a small New England town, over half a century ago, a shadow falls over a small boy playing with his toy soldiers. Jamie Morton looks up to see a striking man, the new minister. Charles Jacobs, along with his beautiful wife, will transform the local church. The men and boys are all a bit in love with Mrs. Jacobs; the women and girls feel the same about Reverend Jacobs -- including Jamie's mother and beloved sister, Claire. With Jamie, the Reverend shares a deeper bond based on a secret obsession. When tragedy strikes the Jacobs family, this charismatic preacher curses God, mocks all religious belief, and is banished from the shocked town.
Jamie has demons of his own. Wed to his guitar from the age of thirteen, he plays in bands across the country, living the nomadic lifestyle of bar-band rock and roll while fleeing from his family's horrific loss. In his mid-thirties -- addicted to heroin, stranded, desperate -- Jamie meets Charles Jacobs again, with profound consequences for both men. Their bond becomes a pact beyond even the Devil's devising, and Jamie discovers that revival has many meanings.
This rich and disturbing novel spans five decades on its way to the most terrifying conclusion Stephen King has ever written. It's a masterpiece from King, in the great American tradition of Frank Norris, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Edgar Allan Poe.
