Good news, JJJ Book Club — the film adaption for “Legend” by Marie Lu is still happening!

The second book in the series, “Prodigy,” was just released and now there’s even more buzz surrounding the upcoming movie.

“The sales of ‘Legend’ have gone up, so back at CBS films, they’re all of a sudden going, ‘Okay, now let’s push up,’” one of the producers Wyck Godfrey told MTV.

And while comparisons to The Hunger Games are swirling the web, he promises “Legend” will offer something completely different.

“This is really urban decay. It’s Los Angeles in the future. It’s got a much more tangible, relatable kind of feel to it,” he shared. “So we want somebody who can sort of build that world, but we also wanna get somebody who gets the relationship between these two lead characters, which is really the meat of it, and the sense of feeding revolution in youth, which I feel like exists in the country right now that, ‘We’ve got to change things’ mentality, is what makes the book so strong.”

TELL JJJ: Did you pick up a copy of “Prodigy”?

Well, it’s official — The Selection is coming to the CW!

According to TVLine, the pilot is getting a revamp from last year’s version which starred Aimee Teegarden, William Moseley and Ethan Peck.

CW president Mark Pedowitz shared that the pilot is in contention for next fall’s lineup. “The script just came in,” he said. “It’s very well done.”

Set 300 years in the future, The Selection is billed as an epic romance centering on a working class young woman chosen by lottery to participate in a competition with 25 other ladies for Prince Maxon’s hand to become the nation’s next queen. No word on if Aimee, William or Ethan would be returning.

ARE YOU EXCITED for the book to becoming a television show?

Did you hear the great news that Laini Taylor‘s “Daughter of Smoke & Bone” series is heading to the big screen?

Universal has recruited Joe Roth to produce the pic.

Ms. Taylor shared in a statement, “I am very excited that Joe Roth is going to bring ‘Daughter of Smoke & Bone’ to the screen. I am a huge fan of his big, gorgeous fantasy epics with powerful female characters. I can’t wait to see how he’ll bring my world to life on film. He’s the dream producer for this property, and I couldn’t be happier.”

To celebrate, JJJ got our hands on a few prize packs — we’re giving FIVE lucky readers a chance to win both “Daughter of Smoke & Bone” and the sequel “Days of Blood & Starlight.”

In “Smoke & Bone,” Karou is a 17-year-old art student who has blue hair. She’s sent by her awful father on travels across the globe to collect teeth for an unspecified but creepy purpose. This leads her to an encounter with an angel and revelations about her family that lead her into adventures involving otherworldly beings. In the sequel, Karou must decide how far she’ll go to avenge her people and while she and her allies build a monstrous army in a land of dust and starlight, Akiva wages a different sort of battle: a battle for redemption. For hope.

This was a no brainer, right? We had to pick Marie Lu‘s “Prodigy” because it’s just THAT good!

WHAT IS IT ABOUT? June and Day are finally in Vegas and what happens? the Elector Primo dies, and his son Anden takes his place.

With the Republic edging closer to chaos, the two join a group of Patriot rebels eager to help Day rescue his brother and offer passage to the Colonies. They have only one request—June and Day must assassinate the new Elector. It’s their chance to change the nation, to give voice to a people silenced for too long. But as June realizes this Elector is nothing like his father, she’s haunted by the choice ahead. What if Anden is a new beginning? What if revolution must be more than loss and vengeance, anger and blood—what if the Patriots are wrong?

WHY YOU SHOULD READ IT? Forget the fact that JJJ chose the first book “Legend” as our fave book of 2011 and take “Prodigy” for what it is — an unbelievably, well-written action thriller with a bit of a Romeo and Juliet romance thrown in. We recommend that you definitely read “Legend” first, but if you don’t, that’s okay too. “Prodigy” is so good that you’ll pick up the story right away and won’t be able to put it down until it’s done. We just want to know what’s going to happen to June and Day after this. What will happen in the new Republic? Will the war still go on? Book #3 please, now.

HONORABLE MENTIONS: “Catherine” by April Lindner, “Through The Ever Night” by Veronica Rossi, “Shades of Earth” by Beth Revis, “Crash” by Lisa McMann, “Rise” by Andrea Cremer, “Altered” by Jennifer Rush and “Falling For You” by Lisa Schroeder.

In case you missed it, the JJJ Book Club picked “Falling Kingdoms” by Morgan Rhodes for our December pick!

And we’re so excited about sharing the book with everyone that we’re giving FIVE lucky readers a chance to win a free copy!

“Falling Kingdoms” summary: In a land where magic has been forgotten but peace has reigned for centuries, a deadly unrest is simmering. Three kingdoms grapple for power — brutally transforming their subjects’ lives in the process. Amidst betrayals, bargains, and battles, four young people find their fates forever intertwined. Cleo, Jonas, Lucia and Magnus are caught in a dizzying world of treacherous betrayals, shocking murders, secret alliances, and unforeseen love.
