I had to laugh when I ran across this awesome silent film version of The Empire Strikes Back. It's just very well done and works surprisingly well in this format, I think. Helps that it's one of my favorite movies. Enjoy!
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…
Wow, that was GREAT! Really really funny :)
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious! It is scary how well it fits in the silent film format.
ReplyDeleteThanks Angie! That made me giggle too. I feel I should stick my copy of Empire strikes Back into the DVD player for a refresher!
