Apparently this one's the real deal. What do you think?
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…
That's a lot of *smoldering* going on there, on all parts.
ReplyDeleteIt is just begging me to put little talk bubbles in it, though . . .
It really is, isn't it? And it is positively calling out for talk bubbles, Maggie.
ReplyDeleteI would sooo love to see what Maggie would come up with for this one!
ReplyDeleteBlissfully, I remain in the minority: I so heart Jacob. Even if Taylor isn't the Jacob in my head. (Ah, did that sound weird?)
You made me do it, Angie. I'm blaming you. And you, Chelle.
ReplyDeleteChelle, there is no weird anymore when it comes to the Twilightverse. And Jacob is most wonderful.
ReplyDeleteMaggie, New Moon talk bubbles FTW!
Pretty good - even though I am not on Team Jacob I think Taylor will do a good job.
ReplyDeleteMarnieColette, I agree. I was happy they kept him.
ReplyDeleteI like Taylor as Jacob. I can reconcile him with my imaginary one. It is a good poster.
ReplyDeleteShallow, yet pretty. I likie. That is some serious fog going on. I'm excited to see Jacob in this one thought.
ReplyDeleteJennyGirl, I know. I could tell right away I liked him. So what if he's not tall? :)
ReplyDeleteLiza, me too. The 3 of them like that--it works.
I love it. And thank heavens for a little love for Team Jacob.
ReplyDeleteJanssen, to quote Jessica, "I know, right?"
