Dreaming of Books

I have a new blog, so if you wanna head on over there, here's the link: http://www.thedreamereader.blogspot.com/
:)

Love,

My reviews... there will be more, for the people who are curious.

Interviews... there will be MORE!

Weather... is it like an artic storm out there. AND IT'S SOUTHERN CALLFORNIA... I just lost the feeling in my fingers

Hola senors and senoritas! Wassup? ... I'll tell you what's up, TODAY WE HAVE AN AWESOMLEY AWESOME GUEST WITH US TODAY! Who is she? As you can see, it is Kristin O' Donnell Tubb! The author of Autumn Winifred Oliver does things different! She's kind enough to answer my questions and endure all this waiting since I've been an idiot and haven't posted this interview. Thanks again!


What is the best quality Autumn has?

Oooo, great question!  My first thought was to say that she’s extremely brave, but I think the quality that trumps that is her love for her family. 
 
What do you want your readers to learn from the book?

Primarily, I want readers to have fun with the book!  There’s nothing better than a chuckling reader!  ;-)  But if I had to pick one thing that I’d love for readers to remember, it’s that the people of Cades Cove, TN sacrificed the homes that their families had owned for generations so that the Great Smoky Mountains National Park could exist.   
 
Did you always wanted to be a author?

Always!  J  Well, pretty much.  When I went to college, I majored in aerospace engineering (Me!  A rocket scientist – ha!).  I eventually found my way into a public relations degree, with a fondness for journalism.  But I didn’t have the fearlessness that it takes to be a good reporter.  So I rediscovered my love of writing fiction once I’d been in the “real world” a few years.  (Who wouldn’t want to build their own world when you sit behind a desk all day?!)
As a side note, when I was in sixth grade, I had the amazing opportunity to interview Madeleine L’Engle (!)  by telephone.  When I told her I wanted to be a writer, she replied, “Good for you!  Keep reading and you can do it!”  I’ll never forget it.  
 
What was the best and worst part of becoming a published writer?

The best part is always, always hearing from people who’ve read the book, and who love to discuss their ideas.  The best!
The worst part?  Honestly, there haven’t been many.  The most difficult part is juggling time between promoting Autumn and finishing the book I’m working on now.    
 
Are you going to continue Autumn's tale or are you going to start something different?

I’m working on something new, called Selling Hope (Or, Gaining Glorious Asylum from Mr. Halley’s Fiery Beast).  It’s set in 1910 Chicago, and features an entrepreneurial vaudeville performer named Hope.  It’s been a blast, researching vaudeville and Halley’s Comet, but it’s vastly different from Autumn.  It’s fun, writing something different. 
 
What is one question you want me to ask you?

Um…how about:  “I’d like to buy 1,382 copies of your book.  Where can I find it?” J
And my answer would be:  “Well, aren’t you nice!  You can find the book here, on Amazon.com, or here, at Powell’s Books.  And might I say how lovely you look today? That really is your color…”  J   
 
What is the craziest dream that you've ever gotten?

I’m not sure I remember the craziest, but I do remember one of my first nightmares.  I was three years old, and I dreamt that my neighbor was run over by a cement truck.  I still despise driving behind them!  

The cover is  adorable, by the way. Did they ask for your opinion on what it should look like before they sent it to you? How much input did you get?

Thanks, Catt!  I love the cover, too.  It was designed by a freelance artist who lives in Knoxville, TN – a town that plays a prominent role in the book itself.  (Kinda cool!)  I did have a degree of input, which is unusual for a first-time author, from what I understand.  When my editor asked if I had any ideas regarding the cover, I recommended that the designer look at the bazillions of old photographs of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park that are available through government agencies.   A few months later, I found out that not only would old photos be used, but there would be a whole collage of them, like a scrapbook.  And they’d be doodled upon.  I loved the idea, because Autumn (the main character) is an artist.  When I saw the final cover, I loved-loved-loved it!  Still do!
As a side note, because the cover designer lives in Knoxville, so does the cover model – the girl in the bottom right corner (with the green mustache!).  Knoxville is a short drive from me – only three hours.  And because it plays such a big role in the book, I did a signing at a Borders bookstore there on November 1st.  Imagine how excited I was to look up and SEE the girl on the cover, standing in line!  Her name is Amber Rose.  She does not have a green mustache.  J  I’ve attached a picture of us together.  Such fun!
I'll start with asking about the cover. It's adorable, did they ask for your opinion on what it should look like before they sent it to you? How much input did you get?

How did you get the idea?

I first got the idea for a book set in Cades Cove back in 2002, when I was on a guided tour of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.  I researched the story for a year or so, and started writing it in early 2004.  It was accepted by Delacorte in February 2007, and went through three rounds of revisions until it reached the final state in spring of this year.  It hit shelves in October.  So…six years from idea to shelf! 
 
How did you find out about the class of 2k8?

Pure luck!  I read an article in the 2008 Children’s Writers and Illustrators Market written by Greg Fishbone, the president of the Class of 2k7.  In the article, he mentioned that a Class of 2k8 was in the works.  I emailed the contact person he gave, but the Class was already full.  I was placed on a waiting list.  After a few weeks, I received word that someone’s publication date had been pushed back to 2009 (not uncommon), and there was now an opening.  Would I be interested?  I jumped at the chance!  It’s been a wonderful experience, being a part of the beginning of 27 careers!  
 
Why did you want to write for young adults?

When I think back on the books that have had the biggest impact on me, a majority of those were read in my young adult years.  I think most people my age would have a similar list, one that includes a ton of books first read as a teen.  Young adults are open-minded, and are willing to contemplate new ideas and concepts in a way that adults aren’t.  I think young adult literature is the best literature out there.  
 
Who was your favorite character to write?

Oh, I’d have such a hard time choosing!  Autumn was a delight, because she’s so much braver than I am, and her worldview is so funny!  And then I loved writing Gramps, because he’s just a big prankster.  But as we got further along in the editing process, I really grew to love Cody (Autumn’s best friend) and Katie (her older sister).  My editor immediately noticed that in the first version of the story, these two did not play a large enough role.  As their roles grew, I appreciated them all the more!

Rock on Kristin!

Here is my review
Here is Kristin's website
Here is her blog
Here is the Class of 2k8

"AUTUMN WINIFRED OLIVER prides herself on doing things her way. But she meets her match when she, her mama, and her pin-curled older sis, Katie, move in with her cantankerous Gramps. The Oliver gals were supposed to join Pop in Knoxville for some big-city living, but Gramps’s recent sick spell convinced Mama to stay put in Cades Cove, a place of swishy meadows and shady hollers that lies on the crest of the Great Smoky Mountains.

And it’s not like there’s nothing going on in the Cove. Folks are all aflutter about turning their land into a national park, and Autumn’s not sure what to think. Loggers like Pop need jobs, but if things keep going at the current rate, the forests will soon be chopped to bits. And Gramps seems to think there’s some serious tourist money to be made. Looks like something different is definitely in order. . . ."

Normally, I don't read that much middle grade books, but I made an exception and I'm very glad I did. Autumn is a very awesome character and hilariously creative. Not only is she down to earth, she's spunky and surpringly relatable even though she's from a different time period.

Though a little bit slow in some parts, it made up for it by having a wide range of characters varying from the most interesting personalities. Autumn is not the only character that grabs your attention, Autumn's grouchy but awesome grandfather makes me wish he was a part of my family and so many others that are special in their own way.

Packed with southern charm and originality, Autumn Winifred Oliver Does Things Different earns a solid 4 stars. It's one-of-a-kind story will make it memorable for a very, very long time.

Be on the look out for my exclusive interview with author Kristin O' Donnell Tubb!

Why do you think people love twilight so much?
I think people love Twilight so much because of how real it is. Considering it is a fictional story with mythical creatures, people can relate to the characters rather they're human or not. Also it brings you back to the first time you fell in love, it's almost a dark fairy tale.

What are your top 7 favorite books (besides the Twilight series)?
Seven...hmm. Well I really love the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare, there's two out so far. (City Of Bones and City Of Ashes) Sarah Dessen's book, This Lullaby, is great too! Just about any Dr.Suess book is a favorite of mine. So I believe all of that equals up to seven books.

Why did you decide to start TwiTubing?
The first Twituber I saw was Tech and I thought it was really cool but I wasn't really tempted to do it till I saw Bailey (NoMoreMarbles). First I made a response video to Bailey and I loved it. At the same time I was afraid to start a Twilight channel because I didn't want to be copying Bailey, finally I suck it up and just did it. Now I'm know as Joy the vampire.

How did you discover the Twilight saga?
A year ago I was battling with serious depression due to some terrible things happening in my life, knowing I loved vampires and desperately needed an escape from reality, my good friend Kenz suggest Twilight to me. I kind of played around with it for a bit, reading only a page or two. Christmas Eve I was bored, so I read through the book. Soon enough I couldn't stop!! The next thing I knew, I was buying the whole series.

Who is your favorite character?
My favorite character is definitely Alice Cullen. She's so bubbly yet smart. Her personality is one I wish I could have, being sparky yet practical. Alice just makes things better.

Since my blog is called Dreaming of Books, what is the most craziest dream you've ever gotten?
The craziest dream..hm. I actually had a dream about a person possessing someone to stab another person with a pair of scissors. I never forgot the dream and I just recently used it for a story.

How are you going to celebrate the Twilight movie release?
Getting together with some friends, skipping school and watching Twilight all day.

Why do you think people should read the books?
Because of how well written and addicting it is! I just cannot stress the fact more about how real the book is.

What is the most craziest thing you've done as a die hard Twilighter?
Well I haven't done it yet but I do plan on getting a Twilight tattoo.

If you could ask one your favorite Twilight character or the Twilight cast or even Stephenie Meyer a question, what would it be?
It would be for Carlisle Cullen, will you adopt me?

Why do you like vampires?
When I was younger I was exposed to Anne Rice. I read the books and watched the movies. Instantly I fell in love with how graceful yet powerful vampires were. And the fact that they couldn't be harmed, made me want to be one.

Who are your most favorite TwiTuber to watch?
I have tons. But my number one is my idol, Bailey (NoMoreMarbles).

What's one question you want me to ask you? 
If there was one thing in the four books you could change, would you and what?
After reading Breaking Dawn, I kind of wanted Stephenie to do New Moon like she did with BD. Have some in Bella's point of view and some in Edward's point of view. I wanted to so badly know what was going through Edward's mind when he left Bella.


Joy's YouTube page is here 

Presenting the vamptastic duo... here is the TWILIGHT COUPLE! YEah, you read that right, COUPLE. Today we have Monica and Alex and, Alex is our first TwiGuy here! Oh yeah, you should feel very honored. Not only are they super funny, they are so just friggin adorable. Thanks again for answering my questions!

Why do you think people love Twilight so much?
Everyone loves and wants what they can’t have. I believe Bella is the only person on this planet that has the second most attractive vampire ever to love her unconditionally AND to top it off a shape-shifter/werewolf who lusts after her as well. Wouldn’t you just LOVE to be in her shoes? Oh and the fact that this vampire is the only man left on this Earth who is a gentleman….man how much we wish for one of those!

It’s a marketing marvel. It’s a very well put together piece of literature when it comes to selectively targeting the biggest consumer demographic (teen girls). Psychologically it is also perfect for the market as well. Who isn’t attracted to a super strong immortal that’s seemingly perfect?

 
What are your top 7 favorite books (besides the Twilight series)?
Fruits Basket 
Harry Potter (to be more specific, the 3^rd and 7^th book) 
Can You Keep a Secret? 
The Sight 
The Treasure Seeker 
Lovely Bones 
Prom Nights from Hell

Dean Koontz Frankenstein 
Odd Thomas 
The Husband 
The Giver 
Velocity 
Night 
Harry Potter Book 6 
 
Why did you decide to make videos?
To be honest our hidden agenda was to only make videos for the sake of getting noticed by many Twilighters so that we may eventually become noticed by Stephenie Meyer or Summit Entertainment (trying to go to the premiere of Twilight). Although, creating all these videos I have started to actually enjoy being one of those passionate fans that voice what we all love, and getting such positive feedback from our viewers saying that I make them laugh or in general they like what I talk about really brightens my day and makes me what to post more videos. So our initial intention is totally out of our brains!

Monica has always been in love with the saga, every time she talked about it I saw her eyes lighting up and she had a big smile -- and since I love her very much I wanted to do this for her to make her happy.

AWWW

Who is your favorite character?  
This is a toughie for me. Before the movie was even thought of being produced, my absolute favorite was Edward. His sweet, moral, protective and charming nature really swooned me off my feet. But reading Breaking Dawn and seeing the actors that were chosen for the Twilight movie, I have opened up a spot in my heart for Jasper and Emmett. Jasper just has this aura (and I don’t think it’s his powers) that just makes you love him, and Emmett’s playfulness and naughty jokes just allows you to relax and have a good time. So it’s truly hard for me to decide, oh and we cannot forget about Alice!

Mine would be Alice and Aro. I love Alice because she’s a very enthusiastic character and she gets me way too emotional when I read her dialogue. Her height, cuteness and perkiness also get to me! Aro is on the fav’s as well because for a really old guy he views life in a brighter perspective than his brother’s and enjoys dealing with any situation cool calm and collectively.

 
How long have you and Alex been going out?
The day Alexander asked me out was September 28 / 2006, so if we count from November 28/2008, that would be 2 years and 2 months!

Since my blog is called Dreaming of Books, what is the most craziest dream you've ever gotten?  
 There is one that I vaguely recall. I was on the Black Pearl with the whole Pirate of the Caribbean cast, and Davy-Jones was trying to take over the ship so we were fighting them and Jack was imprisoned. So I went to go and save my lover ( I mean… friend) so I got him out and we ran towards the beach (it started at a dock and ended up at a beach?) and we held hands and ran into the water. We dove under and waited for the sun to set so this teleport thingy (not quite sure wait we were waiting for) would happen, just as it happened in the third movie. And while we were waiting some uhm…things happened….PG13. (HEHE my dream worked out better then Alex’s ;) )

I was in a house of prostitutes and I enter into one of the girls beds, only she’s not a girl – SHE A MAN! He punches me in the stomach and I awake. This is my unconscious mind telling me to fear all other women (that or Monica has been whispering threats into my ear while I sleep again).

How are you going to celebrate the Twilight movie release?
Well for the release of the third Pirates movie, Alex romantically surprised me with premiere tickets that involved a picture frame. So….I’m HOPING something romantic will happen with Twilight (hint hint nudge nudge).

Party possibly – followed by a long chat about how much we hate / love it.
 
Why do you think people should read the books?
If you’re sick and tired of the man that you have, you can fall in love with this one! …I’m kidding! I would say if you’re a complete hopeless romantic like I am; like a bit of smut, angst and action then this book is perfectly designed to bring out those emotions with a high degree of effectiveness. So if you want to feel a book you should definitely feel this saga!

I think it gives hope to romance and the possibility of another world that is very close to our own. A life style that, despite its setbacks it’s a very attractive thought.

What is the most die hard thing you've done as a Twilighter?
Well I pulled a total 6-year-old-stomp-my-foot-yell-at-the-top-of-my-lungs move complaining that I don’t want to miss the Breaking Dawn release to go camping for the 45,346 time in my life….as you saw my video, I won J

Dyed my hair colour to be like Edwards and dressed up for the book premiere.

If you could ask one your favorite Twilight character or the Twilight cast or even Stephenie Meyer a question, what would it be?
I would ask the Twilight Cast: If you were able to choose who you wanted to act as, which Cullen or Nomad or even Human, who would you choose? (Or would you keep who you were assigned?) And why?

I would ask Stephanie Meyer why she all of a sudden decided to write this book~ was Twilight the only thing on her mind (was her dream that captivating?)?

What is your favorite book out of the series?
It’s a tie between Twilight and Eclipse because they have the most Edward in it. But if I were to think of Bella, the fourth book – I cannot stop re-reading Book One and Three in Breaking Dawn, it was written so well and I love re-feeling (now I’m making up words) the chemistry felt between Edward and Bella since that was taken out of Book Two.

The last book – I think it’s the perfect ending. I mean common a vampire army with super power about to clash? That spells awesome.

Have you ever had any fangirly moments?
All the time but I keep my excitement and spaz internally so no one can see!

I opened the fringe and found a salad dressing called “Renee’s” and I started to get all giggly inside.

If Edward Cullen was your piano teacher, how would you react?
I would continuously stare into his eyes as he gently guides my fingers over the piano and we produce the most beautiful music anyone is so lucky to hear...*sighs – becomes stuck in day-dream mode*

I would hate life so much. I hate anyone who can play piano better than me. Plus let’s be real here – do you really want your teacher to be a freakin’ expert?

Yeah, I've been there. No fun at all.

Who would you rather be stuck in a room with? (It can be anyone Twilight related.)
I’m not going to be picky (as MUCH as I just want to yell out “EDWARD, I WANT EDWARD!”) If I got to be in a room with any of the Cullen children (sorry Carlisle and Esme) then I wouldn’t mind at all. OR if Stephenie Meyer creates another sequel that revolves around Bella and Edward creating a BOY child…then I would want to be stuck in a room with him :D

It would be Aro because I would love to be able to probe Aro’s mind. I’m curious as to what made him the way he was.

If Stephenie Meyer walked into the room right now, how would you react?
Well….it would start off with an open gapped mouth….followed by a little squeal…my eyes would become a bit wet….I’d run up to her and give a bear hug… and BEG her to write a character that’s based off of me or has my name ( I won’t be picky :P ) and to give me a vampire of my own….followed by me inviting her to come over for dinner.

HOLY- MORMON – MOTHER! ARE YOU STEPHENIE MEYER!? *continues to mumble in shock* 

Their YouTube page is here

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

As much as I love Twilight, I need to blog about other things. But, I want to finish twilight Month first because I promised all my interviewees (not a real word but...) that I would post it and for a lot of them, this is their first time getting interviewed. So... yeah.

AND... I seriously need to get back to reviewing books. So, look for those real soon. And maybe I'll start giving away books or something like that. Oh, speaking of giveaways, the fabulous Meg Cabot is gving the COMPLETE set of THE PRINCESS DIARIES and A REALLY AWESOME TIARA away to one lucky person!!! AND... as many of you know (and maybe some dread), this Friday is... BLACK FRIDAY! DUN DUN DUN!! I shudder at the thought of last year's little incident at Kohl's... *shudder*

For those wanting to give books as presents and the books you want to give is a Meg Cabot book, you can get a book plate signed and other goodies too! For info about that here!

ALSO... for those who have read 13 REASONS WHY by Jay Asher, guess what?! Hannah Baker speaks! No joke. Check it out here. That is so freaking cool. Sort of random but, if you listen to it, the girl speaking... does not sound like Ellen Page. My friend, who is an avid reader like me, insists (more like shouts) that the girl IS ELLEN PAGE. I say nay, but what do you think?

AND... in case you haven't noticed, I am CAPS and ... carzy right now. But I digress.

See you later! Happy Thanksgiving! Don't stuff yourself sick and check back tomorrow!

Hola everyone! Today we have the hilarious Melanie and Medya, also known as M2. These two very talented young ladies not only made me ROFL, they have made so many others too. Including Catherine Hardwicke who even gave them her seal of approval! And... they've even been mentioned on MTV!


Why do you think people love twilight so much?
Because it's sexy, and a very intimate love story. I also believe the whole vampire, endless love thing is catchy as well.

The love story relates to a lot of people. Everyone wants a soulmate and true love and it's just a fantasy people dream about happening and reading about it just puts you into that world.

What are your top 7 favorite books (besides the Twilight series)?
The Book of Mormon
Harry Potter Series
Series of Unfortunate Events
Captain Underpants Series
Scary Stories Treasury
"Very Far Away From Anywhere Else"
"The Butterfly Effect"

1.1984 by George Orwell.
2. Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice.
3.The Harry Potter septology by J.K Rowling. (Series)
4. Fight Club, Invisible Monsters, Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk. (I can't choose)
5. Dark-Hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon. (Series)
6. The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky.
7. The Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R Ward. (Series)

How long does it usually take to film a parody?
Well our first parody took 3 days. The second one took 2 weeks. And the third one took 5 weeks :)

Because our first one was really amateur and spontaneous, it took about a week, the second took 2 weeks, and the third one took around 5 weeks.

Is this just a hobby (acting) or is this something you might actually want a career in?
I wanted to be an actress at one point in my life but my hopes and dreams for that wee crushed by my high school drama teacher. It was then I discovered my true passion which is writing.

I'm in college right now, so I'm gonna see how that goes first, but who knows what the future holds?

What's your favorite Twilight related song?
DANGIT. YOU CAN'T ASK ME THIS. Haha, I have so many! If I absolutely had to pick MY personal favorite, I guess it would have to be "In the Sun" by Joseph Arthur

This isn't on the soundtrack or anything but I really want it to be in one of the future movies:
The Killing Moon by Echo & the Bunnymen.

What does your YouTube name mean?
Ahaha, before Medya and I ever started to do parodies, this was my personal account just to favorite and comment videos, maybe post up a few of my own in the process. One of them happening to be our first parody. But the name RAVENCLAW, means the house i belong to in the Harry Potter Series. LDS stands for LATTER DAY SAINT (aka: mormon), which i am. And the number 89 is my birth year.

It's actually not my YouTube name, we initially uploaded it to Melanie's account, mine is separate.
Ravenclaw has to do with the Harry Potter house, Ravenclaw.
LDS is Melanie's religion.
And 89 is the year Melanie was born.

Who is your favorite character?
I have three and I will not choose between them. Besides the fact that we all love Edward, I would have to say Emmett, Carlisle, and Jacob.

Alice. Generic answer, I know.

Since my blog is called Dreaming of Books, what is the most craziest dream you've ever gotten?
That's a hard one for me seeing as how I hardly remember any of my dreams, ahaha. But I have been keeping a dream journal for a while because most of the ideas i get from my stories are from my dreams or when i'm about to fall asleep. I will tell you one thing that's weird about my dreams though: I can find out who has a crush on me through them. I know, I know. Sounds far fetch, but i truly can. Whenever a guy absolutely HATES me in my dreams, they end up having a crush on me in real life. And whenever a guy really likes me in my dreams, it means they totally don't like me that way at all.... Haha, believe me, I know it sounds weird. But they've never been wrong, and it has helped me get together with some HOTTIES!

I had this dream once that I was in New York during the 1920's and there was this plague of bees attacking the city and I had to find a cure.
So I made this special grape lollipop that would create this weird purple bubble around a person to protect him or her from the bees.
Never eat before you go to sleep.

How are you going to celebrate the Twilight movie release?
Medya and I are seeing a midnight showing of the movie somewhere by her college in Riverside. We'll be wearing our "Obsessive Cullen Disorder" shirts, and getting everyone to shut the heck up during the movie.

Melanie and I are going to TwilightLive before the premiere, then the actual premiere.
On opening night we'll be seeing the movie together.

Why do you think people should read the books?
BECAUSE THEY ARE ADDICTING AND FLIPPING AMAZING.

Because it's a great story for romantics.

What is the most die hard thing you've done as a Twilighter?
Shout out my car window, or at random theme parks, waiting in line for things, "READ TWILIGHT!"

Make these videos of course!

If you could ask one your favorite Twilight character or the Twilight cast or even Stephenie Meyer a question, what would it be?
I would ask Stephenie Meyer 2 questions. One: What classes did you take at BYU? And what classes would you recommend? Because I will be attending the same college in about 2 years. And Two: What, if any, moments in the Twilight series were based on true events? (Besides the whole vampire/werewolf thing, lol)

I'd ask the cast how hard it was to act like a completely different species.

What is your favorite book out of the series?
Twilight.

Eclipse.

Have you ever had any fangirly moments?
For Twilight? Not really. I mean, I screamed like crazy at comic con if that counts, lol.

Of course!

How has Twilight impacted your life?
Medya and I wouldn't have been friends if it weren't for Twilight. We met because of it. There would be no parodies, and we would have never have gotten to where we are today.

It's given me a hobby.

Is it fun making parodys?
YES.

It's fun but it gets stressful at times.

How long have you two been friends?
For about a year now i guess.

A little less than a year.

How did find out about TwilightLive! and what's going to happen there?
Medya can tell you more about this info. go to www.twilightlive.com to look it up there.

The first I heard of it, Becka [she's organizing the event] messaged us on our MySpace to ask if we wanted to be a part of it. To find out more about it, make sure to visit twilightlive.com.

Who are you most excited to see there?
Bailey (nomoremarbles), and all the other fans in the twilight community.

Nicole [nikmarie64], Bailey [NoMoreMarbles], Becka of course, Peter Facinelli, and all the fans!

If Edward Cullen was your piano teacher, how would you react?
"I'm sorry, I can't play this chord right. Maybe you can put your hands on top of mine and show me..."

I'd be really intimidated because I used to play.

Who would you rather be stuck in a room with? (It can be anyone Twilight related.)
JOHN MAYER.

Alice! She could tell me my future. ;]


Thanks again for the interview and best of luck to you!! By the way, I went to Twilight Live and I actually met them. Here's a picture

Like the title says, I apologize for not having any updates at all from more than a week! I won't tire you with my excuses but I had a problem with my personal life but, it's been taken care of. And for Twilight Month... well, it does say month so I'll finish all the interviews I have and then get back to book reviews. Sorry again! I really mean it.
