Interview with Ruth Warburton, author of A Witch in Winter

Thanks! I'm glad you liked reading them (:

Yes, the LBF was held at the Earl's Court Exhibition Centre. It was pretty much focussed on book deals, but as someone with a interest in both books and the publishing industry, it was very interesting. It's pretty easy to register for it, as long as you have an interest in books. Being a student or something is enough to be able to go.

I absolutely love Waterstones! I haven't had any problems with their selection to be honest. They have plenty of books in the genres that I love (YA, epic&urban fantasy, science-fiction, horror) but I don't know about the other genres. It's pretty sad that Borders had to close down. Now I'll never see one from the inside.

Anthony Horowitz is a very skilled speaker in my opinion. I also think it's very admirable how he reads to teenagers in prison, and talks with them. He uses his position as a well-known author to make a difference, and he's a great role model.

I would absolutely LOVE to go to BEA. If I can get enough money together, I might go in a few years (: I heard a lot of awesome things about it, and I saw the stacks of books people came home with...

I really hope I can go there sometime ^{^}

Hmm.. Nope. But then again, I'm not very much into the bicycle business (;

Yeah, she did an amazing job, didn't she! :D I was very surprised that she was such a good Katniss.

Really? I thought that for a movie adaptation it was close to the book. Oh well, people just like to complain I guess

erlihyd · 2 months

Yeah (: Especially the Rue & District 11 scene .. <3

erlihyd · 2 months

No, that bothered me too when the movie started. During the Games I didn't mind so much, but when they were still in District 12 there was no reason for it to be shaky at all

Yeah, I agree with what devilbird99 said. I think they captured the feel of the book well, especially the moments that were meant to impress. Of course, some details had to get removed because they just don't work in a movie. I think it was pretty good that they didn't show all the gore. It would have made it look like a cheap horror movie if done wrong, so I was pretty glad they showed just enough to leave the rest up to your imagination
