Hot on the heels of the popular Hunger Games film, Hollywood Crush gives readers a list of other YA books in various stages of production for the big screen, including Ally Condie’s MATCHED!

What is the latest update on a MATCHED movie? Michele and Kieran Mulroney are signed on as the script writers and Adam Shankman has tweeted that his company will be producing it. Hopefully we’ll hear more news soon!

Ally posted a reminder on her blog that she will be at the Holladay Library this Friday, March 23. It’s her only appearance this Spring, so if you live in the area you should definitely go! For more information check out Ally Condie’s Event page.

Some other great news is that Ally will once again be joining the Smart Chicks Kick it! Tour for the Salt Lake City and Edmonton stops. We had the chance to go to one of the stops on the tour last year and it was really cool. If you have the chance to make it, let us know what it’s like!

EW’s Shelf Life just posted the best possible news ever: THE COVER AND TITLE OF ‘MATCHED’ BOOK 3!

Entertainment Weekly also has an amazing interview up with Ally. To read the whole interview, which also includes movie news, click here!

What did it feel like to put a period on the trilogy?
It was both wonderful and a bit sad. Sad because I’m finished with the story for now, and because I will miss these characters and this world. But it also felt very good to write scenes that I’ve pictured writing for several years now (since I began Matched) and to see Cassia, Ky, and Xander all the way through to the finish.

How do you all like the cover and title?
Would you like seeing a fourth MATCHED book?

Are you missing the Breathless Reads tour this year? Don’t fear! Ally Condie is hosting a virtual Breathless Reads Tour on her website.

Check out her interviews here:

Marie Lu, author of Legend, takes readers to Pasadena, CA

Beth Revis, author of Across the Universe and the sequel A Million Suns, takes us to Cleveland County, NC

Jessica Spotswood, author of Born Wicked, takes readers to Washington D.C.

Death and survival is cleverly entwined with love and longing, this book pulled all my heartstrings at once, with the sadness linked to war but also the devastating backgrounds we find many of these characters have had to go through. Once again, Ally Condie has created a masterpiece and this book will definitely be added to my top ten.
