Book to Movie news: L.A. Weatherly's Angel Trilogy movie rights optioned!

How exciting is this! Ever since I read Angel last year I've been hoping to see this series (and especially one of my favourite book crushes, Alex) on the big screen! Now that the movie rights have been optioned, there's a strong possibility of that happening! I'm reading the second book in the series Angel Fire at the moment, and it is soooooo addictive (although emotionally draining!). I'm forever recommending Angel to anyone who's looking for something a little different from their YA Angel reads. You should totally check it out!

Last year I took part in a fun blog tour where L.A. Weatherly discussed her dream movie cast list for Angel. What do you think? Don't you want to see that movie already?!
