Confessions of a Teenage Bibliophile- Kathleen

Kathleen has also graciously answered our questions!*

Who is your idol (in real life or in fiction)?
Oooo, tough one.....probably all those main characters (mainly female ones) who make things in life look so easy to do, like solve a humongous mystery that stumps every one else, save someone's life, or even something as difficult as finding a perfect guy (which must be impossible). If something in my life had the option of being easy, I'd be so happy.

What's your favorite book? Why?
One of my many favorite books is City of Glass because after you read the other two books, you've really gotten to know the characters and then in City of Glass, it wraps everything up in type of way that makes you hate to put the book down or finish it. Of course, then Cassandra Clare decided it wasn't over, but still.....the idea is there.

Who is your favorite fictional character?
Another hard one!!!! I'd have to say Katsa from Graceling. The only reason I have is she's cool. :)

What's your favorite fictional world? If you could live there, would you?

The setting for the series Warriors is my favorite, and if I could live there, yes I would, but only as a cat (that's what all the characters are).

Is there a book you can relate to your life?

Not one that I've read yet.

What is your favorite movie based on a book?

Right now, the only book made into movie i can think of (that was good) is one of the Harry Potter ones. I didn't like the third, fourth, or fifth, but the first, second, and the sixth were good.

Do you have a favorite series of books?
Yes, Warriors by Erin Hunter.

Would you ever want to be an author? If so, what kind of book would you write?
Yes, being an author sounds fun to me, and I'd probably write something with fantasy in it because you can mess with things and make up stuff so as not to ruin the plot you want.

If you could change one thing about the library, what would it be?

The YA section. I don't know how exactly, but I thinks it's time for it to be changed.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban the second time around

Sirius Black's Wanted Poster Title/Year originally published: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban/1999 When I originally read it: 1999, I believe I got it for Christmas… What I thought of it then: When I first read this book I thought parts of it were the saddest things I’d ever read. When Harry overhears that his parents’ best friend betrayed them to Voldemort and was so angry he wanted to kill Sirius Black I cried, a lot. Besides that I thought the whole Time Turner device was really nifty on J.K.'s part (yeah, we're close, I can call her that*). I loved Lupin and the fact that chocolate is the remedy for when you've had all your worst memories brought to mind by Dementors.I also always love Scabbers so I was really sad when he turned out to be the betrayer of Lily and James Potter. Sigh. When I re-read it: January 2011 What my thoughts are now: This book is so great, I can see why it's a lot of people's favorite of the series. I mean, c'mon t...

Raven Cycle Fan Art!

So. The inimitable Maggie Stiefvater created a deck of tarot cards based on her Raven Cyle series and she's holding a contest to give away 10 decks of them. Keith decided he couldn't do anything worthy but he thought I could.  Since I'd just completed a project using acorns, I thought: "Hey, I could make The Acorn Boys!" And Keith's response was: "You were put on this earth to make Acorn Boys."  And so, I present to you, The Acorn Boys based on The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater.  First we have our heroine Blue Sargent, daughter of psychics but no psychic herself. She reminds her mom of the Page of Cups and gets called Blue Lily by a crazy lady (I chose a Calla lily because I like them better than the other kind, plus I love Calla). She is known for her DIY style and short, dark hair. I made up the rest of her face because there isn't a ton of description about it, but we know she's tiny because she didn't eat her vegetables.  ...
