I dare you not to smile.
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 Wovenfirst 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 bizarre year in Arizon…
HAHAHA! Is it sort of like ImprovEverywhere?
ReplyDeleteThat was hilarious! How did they pull that off?
ReplyDeleteStupendous!
ReplyDeleteI love love love love it!
ReplyDelete(and you win, damit, I smiled--and teared up a little)
I seem to be a tad hormonal, though :wink:
I teared up too! It was just so beautiful. Laughing and crying at the same time. PMS is so fun.
ReplyDeleteOh thank God I'm not the only one who teared up. That was absolutely wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAmy -- running with the whole PMS excuse; that works.
Fabulous! Life seems brighter after watching this!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you all enjoyed it. And no worries about tearing up. I got all glassy-eyed myself. You nailed it, Kip, things seemed brighter after watching it. I loved how it seemed to make all the train station goers happy almost in spite of themselves.
