The JJJ Book Club loves new books that we can get lost in — and that’s exactly what we were when we picked up Morgan Rhodes‘ “Falling Kingdoms.”

WHAT IT’S ABOUT: 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.

WHY YOU SHOULD READ IT: Any type of genre you want to read is in this book. There’s mystery, war, action, romance, adventure, magic…everything. From start to finish, Ms. Rhodes takes the reader on a journey in a mythical land and you come out cheering for a victor and gasping for air. If you like “Game of Thrones”, you’ll love “Falling Kingdoms”.

HONORABLE MENTIONS: “Burned” by Sara Shepard.

Psst, stay tuned for a giveaway of “Falling Kingdoms”!

Jennifer Lawrence Tops the ‘NYT’ 2012 Hollywood Heroines List

New York Times

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II, Captain America: The First Avenger, Thor, Green Lantern… If you notice any similarities among these titles — other than the fact that they’re some of the biggest films of 2011 — one of the biggest ones should be that they’re all male-led. True, Emma Watson‘s portrayal of Hermione Granger was at her most kick-butt status in the final installment to the mega-watt HP franchise, but Daniel Radcliffe‘s character is the one who is dubbed the hero of the series.

Fast forward to 2012: the year of the female. Representing the brave protagonist of The Hunger Games, Jennifer Lawrence totally defies the norm of a hero in film with her bow-and-arrow-wielding character, Katniss Everdeen. (No wonder she’s one of EW‘s Entertainers of the Year!) And she’s not the only lady to make headway in this area of the industry, which is why the New York Times created the ultimate round-up of power players. For its 2012 Hollywood Heroines list, 13 actresses — including Jennifer — appear in short films for the NYT series, “Wide-Awake.” Watch Jenn’s below!

This is only the beginning of the trend. Next year, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones will be led by Lily Collins; the following year’s Divergent will feature Shailene Woodley as the lead; and Delirium, which is currently being optioned by Fox 2000, is a female-driven series.

Other 2012 Hollywood Heroines include Rebel Wilson, Anne Hathaway, Elle Fanning and Amy Adams. Who else would you consider to be one of this year’s greatest female movie characters?

Jennifer Lawrence is Back for X-Men 2!

Kristen Stewart Confirms Upcoming Movie, ‘Focus,’ with Ben Affleck

WENN

With promotions for Breaking Dawn — Part 2 now out of the way, it’s time for Kristen Stewart to think of her next steps (outside of On the Road promo as well). And, even though she recently teased a “strong possibility” of a sequel to Snow White and the Huntsman, there’s still ample time for her to squeeze in another project. Well, folks, it looks like that project will be another movie role that’s unlike the characters she usually portrays in a sexy comedy film, entitled Focus, starring Ben Affleck.

In an interview with Huffington Post, she says, “I can confirm that rumor. It’s a comedy. I’m really excited about it. We start shooting in April.”

Although not too much is known about the film at press time, IMDb’s description includes, “A veteran grifter [Ben Affleck] takes a young, attractive woman [Kristen Stewart] under his wing, but things get complicated when they become romantically involved.” So expect to see some hook-ups between the two stars.

When approached as to Kristen’s involvement in the project last month, Ben Affleck admitted, ”I’m hesitant to get into casting stuff because I don’t know what’s finished or isn’t because people come in and out of things all the time. But she’s terrific and hopefully it will work out.”

As of right now, no other flicks are in the pipeline for the Twilight star, however, she says she “would love to find some micro-project before then, because April is kind of a ways away.”

And Your Fave KStew Movie Character is…
