The Academy Has Spoken

Today is a very exciting day! 

For today marks the beginning of a very special month... 

a month where books and writing are replaced with films. 

Today is the start of 

The Academy Awards Month here at Imaginative Adventure. 

It is a month where I will cover all you need to know about 

The Academy Awards Show--

Fashion...

Predictions...

Movies...

Reviews...

The difference between sound editing and sound mixing...

and

History.

 I will also discuss when BOOKS become MOVIES. 

Highlighting some of our favorite YA books that are on the path to the big screen.

Because, this is a book blog after all!
