Me & SuperFinn
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 bizarre year in
Adorable!! Love the SuperFinn costume! Don't you just love Halloween and the great kids' costumes? A friend's son had the cutest dinosaur costume on the other day. So cute.
ReplyDeleteI do love seeing them in costume after all the thought and work and preparation goes into it. So fun.
DeleteAw, so cute. Love the Batgirl stance. Don't mess with her because she's in charge, you see?
ReplyDeletePrecisely. She's all, When are we going to stop this nonsense and start fighting crime??
DeleteAdorable!!!! I am very partial to Batgirl there, but they are ALL darling. Glad to see you all had fun. Halloween was pretty much cancelled here in NJ. :(
ReplyDeleteLol. She was IN CHARACTER.
DeleteI'm so sorry. We've all been thinking of you guys and everyone back east.
Oh, some crazy cuteness here! Good costume-making skills as well :)
ReplyDeleteIt's exhausting. But very fun to see it all come together. :)
DeleteI am dieing over Piper's costume. SO COOL!!! And so perfect for her. Your kids are so beautiful. I love it when you post pics.
ReplyDeleteThere was never any question of what she was going to be this year. She's pretty sure Piper is just her alterego. ;)
DeleteAdorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shane!
DeleteYour kids are so photogenic! I love the poses and the costumes.
ReplyDeleteThey were definitely into it. It was a fun night.
Deleteso cute!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amy!
DeleteThat vampire makeup and batgirl's pose are awesome. :) Looks like it was a fun time.
ReplyDeleteHe was very specific on how he wanted his face to look. Lol.
DeleteEvery time a door opened, she smiled and said, "I'm Batgirl!"
These are awesome, Angie!! Can I just say that I LOVE that you have a little girl that wanted to go as a super hero and not a princess? Same for her cousins for that matter. Princesses are okay too, but it's nice to see something different. And that vampire makeup is totally creepy! Though the look of utter adoration he's getting from Alice is priceless.
ReplyDeleteHope you guys had fun!
Can I just say that I LOVE that she wanted to, too? That's my girl.
DeleteHis little Alice-cousin is very adoring, so that shot is pretty spot-on in general. Lol.
Everyone is adorable. Wish we could have seen them live!
ReplyDeleteWe wish we could have seen yours, too!
DeleteOh my gosh, you guys are so adorable! These look like professional photos. Great costume choices:)
ReplyDeleteLol. My husband's a photographer so I luck out in the photo department.
