So. much. WIN.
Also, I'm in love with Spock.
That is all.
I fell in love with the cover of Alexandra Bracken 's debut novel-- Brightly Woven --last fall and the scant synopses I could find at the time certainly piqued my interest. After managing to get my hands on an ARC, I found myself surprised and pleased with this unique fantasy. You can read my review here . As the release date approached, I invited Alex to participate in an interview and giveaway here on the site and, despite her crazy busy schedule, she kindly accepted. Enjoy! First things first: When did the idea for Brightly Woven first hit you and what (if anything) did you know right off the bat? I remember the exact moment it hit me—what I was doing, who I was talking to, what song was playing on iTunes. :) I had just come back from Winter Break my sophomore year in college and was sitting on my bed chatting with my mom. Sophomore year was pretty remarkable in terms of the insane weather that we had in Virginia (where I was in school) but it had also been a bizar...
Spock was my first (and probably longest-running) fictional character crush. So the new movie made me happy.
ReplyDeleteI think this is the first time recently that I haven't felt let down by a remake.
deety, that makes me so happy. I have always loved Spock. And I completely agree. It was unbelievably refreshing (and so rare lately) to have my expectations exceeded. I wanna see it again!
ReplyDeleteyesss, loved it too. i must say scotty was my fave!
ReplyDeletebabysitter is being arranged. i must see.
ReplyDeletevvb32 reads, Scott was hilarious. He came in at just the right time.
ReplyDeleteLiza, it's SO good. I get all happy just remembering. :)
Yes I loved it, too, and loved Spock, too! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely go see it again!
ReplyDeleteWe were going to finally catch Wolverine last weekend, but that character isn't exactly my favorite of the X-Men so I suggested we just watch Star Trek again instead.
It was still just as good the second time around.
Amy, it's all about the Spock.
ReplyDeletedeety, good to hear! I haven't seen Wolverine but it just didn't look anywhere near as good as Star Trek.
