Happy Halloween!
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...
Oh my goodness, FINN! I can't even, everyone is so adorable :)
ReplyDeleteLol. He was very pleased to be Phineas.
DeleteRose and the Doctor! That is super cool. Did anyone know who they were?
ReplyDeletePlenty of people in Will's class did. There was actually another Dr. Who in his class. No one in Piper's. Not many kindergartners watching it, I don't think. ;)
DeleteOHHHHHHH adorable *_* i love DW and phineas y ferb
ReplyDelete*grin* It was fun this year.
DeleteOh my goodness, they look all kinds of awesome! Love it!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Heather! I love Halloween.
DeleteHow adorably perfect!!! He even has David Tennant's hairstyle!
ReplyDeleteLol. I finished doing his hair and he gazed solemnly in the mirror and said, "Mom. I look *exactly* like David Tennant." Success!!
DeleteAh, so cute! Love the pose in the first pic - SO Doctor Who!
ReplyDeleteIt makes me smile. Very Will & Piper and very Dr. Who.
DeleteAHHH! Your kids are so cute! Love Phineas and Ferb!
ReplyDeleteHehe.
DeleteOh my god your children are so old now!!! Seems like just yesterday they were Cinderella and Harry Potter...
ReplyDeleteIs it very cold during Halloween? You're kids don't look like they're freezing. It's always COLD over here.
I know, right?! I can't believe it looking at them.
DeleteIt was chilly that night but not so bad when we took pictures. Finn definitely wore a hoodie when we were out trick-or-treating.
Love it! They all look adorable.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alexa. It was a fun night.
DeleteFabulous! You did it again!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Em! Did your kids have a good night?
