This Meets That That Make You Do A Double Take

I love book marketing. One of my favorite things as a librarian is to go to publisher previews (either at conferences or via webinars) and hear about all the new titles coming out. I love hearing how the publisher is marketing the book including the "meets" about all the books-like it's this popular book/movie/TV show meets that popular book/movie/TV show. But sometimes this marketing strategy makes me do a double take. Here are some interesting book meets that have had me puzzled and interested about the books at the same time:

Graceling seems like a popular readlike:


"Star Wars meets Graceling


Cruel Beauty by Rosmund Hodge

"Beauty and the Beast meets Graceling


And Stephen King is popular to compare things to, which is strange because he doesn't write YA:


"John Green meets The Stand

Thanks to Kelly for finding this one!



"Stephen King meets Veronica Roth"

Thanks to Katie for finding this one!



"The Shining meets The Breakfast Club

Thanks to Leila for finding this one!

Comparisons to classics:



"Gone with the Wind meets Matched



"The Scarlet Letter meets Minority Report

And some other fun ones:



"Fargo meets Pretty Little Liars




"Octavian Nothing meets Lorena Bobitt" 

Thanks to Angie for finding this one!

I know as a member of District Four I should be cheering for my own tribute, but after watching the last two Hunger Games play out I have fallen in love with Peeta Mellark! Why do I love Peeta? He's smart, he's funny, and he's charming. He stands up for what he believes, he's loyal and he's not afraid to do what's right. He's sensitive and caring but can also be strong and kick butt. He fights for Katniss and with Katniss. Peeta is a great diplomat and he knows how to bring people together. He can also be sneaky to get what he wants. Plus, did I mention he can bake? And he's hot!! But it's not just me! We have an underground club of sorts here in District Four-Seafaring Librarians for Peeta! Here's what some of our members had to say about their love for Peeta: - Team Peeta!! I love their relationship because they balance each other perfectly. Where ...
