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?

What is Pottermore?

J.K. Rowling has done it again! As you may know of all bookers that the Harry Potter has taken root deeply embedded in our hearts as a classic. With the last movie coming out  I thought J.K Rowling had no more aces  up her sleeves but with Potter More this has changed completely.

What I had thought of www.pottermore.com before it was released I had  I talked about in this post here. J.K. Rowling describes the site herself as "that builds on the exciting online experience around the reading of the Harry Potter books" . You can relive the books and even ..gasp.....get exclusive writings , audiobooks, and EBOOKS! of the Harry Potter series. Watch her here as J.k. Rowling herself describe pottermore word for word *drools*.



Currently you can sign up for the beta and be chosen to beta test the website in July before its released to the masses in October ( Month of Halloween *hint* hint*).

Head over to www.pottermore.com and sign up maybe one of us will be a lucky few to get into the beta test this July. *Crosses fingers*

Let the  hyperventilation  heart attacks, and probably bouts of insomnia begin! Mawahahaha!


**Please Note**: I am planning to do a blog/youtube series about the Harry Potter books because I am so excited! So please look forward to  Harry Potter goodness and fan initiated screaming. *Screams*

Pottermore

  

Wait? What ? More Harry Potter?

Thats right. These are my exact thought. J.K. Rowling just recently announced of a new mysterious site called www.pottermore.com. No one knows what it is and what it contains. If you got to that website address you can click on the owls and will be sent to J.K. Rowling's youtube page saying anonymous message " THE OWLS ARE GATHERING" Find you why soon ( in exactly 13hours 48 mins and 15 secs by the time this is posted).

I have been trying to guess at what J.K. Rowling could be possibly revealing in a couple of hours. Is  it the release of an rpg game? That would be cool hanging out with all the other Harry Potter friends in virtual realm left to our own magical devices (mwahahah!). Or maybe its release of more books which I have proclaimed it will cause hyperventilation  heart attacks, and probably bouts of insomnia if there ever was an announcement.

What do you think J.K. Rowling has up her sleeves for the Potter Universe?
