I don't know why I do this to myself. November? Gah. But I'm pretty sure it's because all I wanted to do when the credits on The Hunger Games rolled was watch Catching Fire. Immediately.
Oh. And also GALE!
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...
AAAAHH!! I'm so excited!!
ReplyDeleteI KNOW!
DeleteI avoided clicking on the trailer until now for the very reason you listed, Angie, but I just couldn't resist any longer. Trailer is awesome! Cannot wait. But we'll have to. *cries*
ReplyDeleteHehe. Sorry to push you over the edge, Wendy. It looks SO good. Why is November so far away?
DeleteI got chills watching that!!!
ReplyDeleteSo did I, Lin! I'm vibrating with excitement.
DeleteCatching Fire was my favorite of the books, so I am crazy-excited for this movie. And I'm so interested in the political stuff they're adding in to explain what's happening beyond Katniss' POV. Eeeeeee!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a super middle book. I can't wait to see it all play out on the big screen.
Deletewhat! I hadn't even known this was out until this very moment. Wow. It looks even better than the first one and more true to the book. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIt reduces me to a puddle of anxiety and excitement. Cannot wait.
DeleteNovember?! I thought it was going to be released in the summer for some reason. BLERG.
ReplyDeleteBut anyway, GALE. Interesting that they left Finnick out of the trailer.
Ugh. Depressing, isn't it?
DeleteYeah, I was kind of waiting to see the other victors (ESPECIALLY Finnick), but I'm kind of glad they didn't show them so there's more to anticipate.
It's entirely too long to wait. It looks awesome and I got prouder chills seeing Katniss, Peers and Haymitch in front of the whipping post.
ReplyDeleteThe whipping post . . . *sob*
DeleteI <3 Haymitch. Seeing the three of them together does make me proud. Mockingjay is likely going to kill me.
Awesome trailer! I am so in love with it and it's gonna be great! I'm soooo excited. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely going to be great.
Deletethat was beyond awesome! and we didn't even see the arena. looks a little more gritty and a little more funded. (who wouldn't throw more money to their cash cow?) i was excited for november, but now i can't wait. i had goosebumps.
ReplyDeleteI know! It seems like they took stuff just from the first section of the film. Which was smart, I think. I'm still jumpy.
DeleteI can not stop watching this!
ReplyDeleteIt's addicting. I love Jennifer Lawrence. I'm so glad she's Katniss.
Deletedefinitely waiting!! I've heard this is good.
ReplyDeleteSO good.
DeleteI'm so excited for this! I really liked the first movie so I think the 2nd one will be just as good.
ReplyDeleteSo did I! I'm so excited.
