Just in case you were wondering (though I can't imagine why you would be), this was far and away my favorite moment of last night's Oscars presentation:
Runners up were, well, anytime Colin Firth was on screen.
I missed the Oscars, unfortunately...would have loved to see this on screen. And congratulations, you've won the "Seven Facts" award! Check it out: http://herestous.wordpress.com/2011/02/28/the-seven-facts-award/
As ever, begin as you mean to go on. And so here are my most anticipated titles of 2026: And no covers on these yet, but I'm just as excited for each one: The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion, Volume 9 by Beth Brower Finest Kind of Fate by J.J. Mulder My Kind of Guy by Sarina Bowen Ravenous by Kresley Cole Mastermind by Sarah MacLean Game of Rogues by Julie Anne Long Grim Tidings by B.K. Borison Villain Edit by Rosie Danan What titles are on your list?
Ever since I fell in love with Diana Peterfreund 's Secret Society Girl series last year, I've been hoping I'd get the chance to interview her here. Tomorrow marks the release of her new novel, Rampant , and let me tell you that you have not read a book like this before. You can read my review here , but all you really need to know is that it's a story about killer unicorns and the young women who hunt them. You want to read it now, don't you? Oh, yeah, and it's YA and the first in a series! To celebrate the release, Diana graciously answered a few of my most burning questions. As she is always a delight, I know you'll enjoy them as much as I did. First things first: When did the idea for Rampant first hit you and what (if anything) did you know right off the bat? In early 2005, just after selling Secret Society Girl , I had this dream of being chased by a very dangerous unicorn. I woke up and went to go look it up to see if I could figure out the meanin...
You are all quite familiar by now with my obsession with The Demon's Lexicon trilogy (you can read my reviews of the first two books here and here ). I discovered book one at the end of last year and went absolutely wild with delight over the darkly twisting combination of work-their-way-under-your-skin characters and the sinister magical underbelly of the world they live in. It instantly went on my best of the year list and I eagerly awaited the sequel. Today is release day for book two-- The Demon's Covenant --and I can tell you right now it is an incredibly awesome read. To celebrate its release, Sarah Rees Brennan agreed to drop in and answer a few of my questions. I think you'll enjoy the results... First things first: Hot brothers. We love them. We love you for creating such good ones. Do you have any brothers? Where did the basis for Alan and Nick’s incredibly complex relationship come from? I too love hot brothers, Angie. Not mine. I mean...
I love the cutaways to Harry looking awkward. :)

Undeniably my favorite part of the Oscars too! :D I love Ron and Hermione~
ReplyDeleteProof that autotune can make anytime sounds like music. I love this, so funny.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. My housemates and I were clutching at each other wildly on the couch. When we were able to form thoughts, we squealed. It was very silly.
ReplyDeleteI made the mistake of watching it again at work today. It went as one might expect.
Yes, I giggled a lot. And loved Colin Firth. Yes.
ReplyDeleteHey, will we be seeing you on Saturday at the party?
Colin Firth is so dreamy! I have yet to see King's Speech yet though, I'm still waiting for it to come out on Redbox.
ReplyDeleteLove Ron and Hermione!
