Since my mum isn’t interested enough and doesn’t seem to be jumping up and down, I thought I’d come to my sort of people (aka: mad, obsessive, dedicated, loving readers) who aren’t afraid to lose their cool and let their excitement show.
So. The news?
The CW to Develop New TV Series Based on Embrace by Jessica ShirvingtonSo. The news?
From Embrace series' official website:
Sourcebooks is thrilled to announce that the CW Network, Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment and CBS Television Studios are adapting Jessica Shirvington’s young adult series, EMBRACE, into a television series.
What makes Jessica Shirvington’s EMBRACE series unique is the combination of a high-adrenaline storytelling, engrossing character development, and a richly imagined mythology.
It’s this captivating combination that has led to the development of a weekly hour-long drama for TV and has won over teens, adults and critics alike:
“I would be lying if I said I hadn't daydreamed about this possibility. To now have the option with The CW, Amblin/Dreamworks TV and CBS Studios, is mind blowing,” says Shirvington, “These are absolute industry leaders and I couldn't be happier. I can't wait to see how things develop!”

Now, I haven’t yet started the series (I know, bad Becca!) but this is just so exciting! I’ve got a copy of Embrace sitting on my shelf and I’m really looking forward to reading it, especially after hearing this amazing news. I’ve heard great things about this series, I love angel books (Unearthly, Hush, Hush) and Jessica Shirvington is Australian – all exciting points! If you already knew about this, that's awesome but since I only heard about it today, I just had to share and sqee just a little.
