Q: Name 3 Authors that you would love to sit down  and spend an hour or a meal  with just talking about either their books get advice on writing from?    

That really a hard choice to pick only three! I have so many authors I really want to talk about, but I according to the questions ( ant to be fair) I will have to pick only 3. I am listing the authors of my current favorite series as authors I really want to meet.

First up is......

1. Julie Kagawa

I absolutely adored her Iron Fey Series and I loved all her books. Especially Meghan Chase, Puck and Ash. I would love to ask her How did you create this world? What inspired you? What could you give as advice as a writer?

You can check out my post about The Iron King Series  here

2. J.K. Rowling

      

J.K. Rowling has and forever be one of my favorite authors of all time. Her books grew up with me and in turn actually started my book obsession. I hate to think where I would be now if it weren't for J.K. Rowling. To think that reading for me used to be really a terrible battle for me makes my cry sometimes. I am really grateful to her and Harry Potter for encouraging and opening up  the magical world of books to me. My question would be: Why is Harry Potter....you know Harry Potter?

3. Maggie Steifvater 

I liked the The Wolves of Mercy Falls series. I have read Shiver and reviewed it here. I still need to review Linger and read Forever. But so far I love her books. She is partly the reason why I am so into wolves right now. I would ask her: Where did you get the folklore for the wolves? Where did your fascination with wolves start?

Trailer Thursday

Lately I have been addicted to book trailers and I can't get enough of them ( Especially the creative ones). HEre are some author/publishing produced  ones and user created content videos as well. Some of these trailers sent chills up my sleeves (arms?) .



The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins


Has to be one of the best book series I have ever read. A movie is also in the works.


Forever by Maggie Stiefvater


Forever has not been released yet but it will  be soon( actually on July 12, 2011). The first book Shiver I am still reading it( and its awesome) and the second book Linger is still there. So far I am loving it but at first I didnt. But soon It grew on me.


Beautiful Creatures


I haven't read this book yet( I am planning to soon!) . All I have heard about this book are great things.
