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...
That was so funny. I also liked the movie but saw its flaws and am wondering how they are going to get 2 more movies out of the book. However, Richard Armitage is quite hot even as a dwarf so I'll be there. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree. It still feels like the 3-film stretch was the wrong call.
DeleteBut I never object to another 3 hours of Richard Armitage. No, I don't.
A Richard Armitage run is a very good thing. And yes, I also wonder how they'll milk three movies of The Hobbit. But as long as we can look forward to Richard, I'm okay with that.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it, though? :)
DeleteYep, I'll be seeing each one as it comes out.
Um mine. No one else's.
ReplyDeleteSurely we can share, Katie. We've managed to with Warner after all . . .
DeleteThank you, I laughed and laughed!
ReplyDeleteShe is brilliant.
DeleteI read this and laughed so hard and LOVED it so hard as well. DREAMBOATSHIELD FOR SURE!! <3 Alyssa
ReplyDeleteSo did I, Alyssa. I kept trying to quote bits to my husband but was giggling too hard to deliver them properly.
