My Dream Book Panel

I came home this past week to see an email sitting in my inbox. But this wasn't just another email from Pinterest or Goodreads. This was asking me what my dream book panel would be like. And I got to thinking. So I'm here today to tell you what my dream book panel would look like.
Who would be on my panel? I would love for half of it to be book characters, the other half authors so I could hear from both sides. The authors could talk about their stories and writing. The characters would be interesting to hear from because they would be able to talk more about what their lives are like. 
As for specifically? Definitely Annabeth Chase. I think it'd be cool to have Robin up there too-- though which one I don't know. My last character would be Cia Vale from The Testing. I have a whole list of authors ranging from fantasy-mystery.There are some authors I want to drag out of hiding like Christopher Paolini. Peter Lerangis and Sara Shepard are my two others.

What questions would you ask? I would ask the characters how they felt about their author (I can hear Annabeth ranting about Rick Riordan). Some of them have had to worst things happen to them, and we don't always get a direct look inside their head. My second question would be if they could change one thing that happens in their story, what would they pick and why. To the authors I would want to know how they decide to kill the characters off. Also, how do you make sure there are no plot holes? Or how to write a good mystery?

Who would moderate? Percy came to my mind. And while he might be really funny and keep everyone interested, I don't think he's the right person for the job. While there are many who I might pick for the job, I'd want to do it myself (because who doesn't want to talk to some of the best people, real or fictional).

Where would it take place? One of my original thoughts was The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. But then I realized than probably wouldn't work out. So then I decided on a bookstore, but not a huge chain. More like one of the ones that only appear locally (I've seen some cool ones online in NYC). 

Other tidbits: I want a souvenir. Like to get my book signed. Or a bookmark is cool too. All the attendees would get one just for being awesome. I'm also thinking no more than $10 to come (because none of us are rich). And the panelists and I should all go out to eat afterwards. 

There we have it, my dream bookish panel. I'd like to thank Eventbrite for pitching the idea to me. If you're in need of a good event planning software to plan your next gathering or event, check it out here. It was so much fun to explore and see all the possibilities.

The Sword of Summer Review

The Sword of Summer  is the first book in the Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard series, written by Rick Riordan. The genre is mythology. "Magnus Chase has always been a troubled kid. Since his mother’s mysterious death, he’s lived alone on the streets of Boston, surviving by his wits, keeping one step ahead of the police and the truant officers. One day, he’s tracked down by a man he’s never met—a man his mother claimed was dangerous. The man tells him an impossible secret: Magnus is the son of a Norse god. The Viking myths are true. The gods of Asgard are preparing for war. Trolls, giants and worse monsters are stirring for doomsday. To prevent Ragnarok, Magnus must search the Nine Worlds for a weapon that has been lost for thousands of years. When an attack by fire giants forces him to choose between his own safety and the lives of hundreds of innocents, Magnus makes a fatal decision. Sometimes, the only way to start a new life is to die . . ."~ Goodreads As...

Wordy Wednesday (#6)

Wordy Wednesday is a meme that focuses on expanding vocabulary for aspiring writers or even finding out new words. All that is required is coming up with a word and its definition! My word for this week is opprobrium. Opprobrium - something that brings disgrace                        contempt or reproach (Merriam-Webster) Let's take the quote I used from Mulan in one of my previous memes and replace the word dishonor. Opprobrium on you! Opprobrium on your cow! This will forever be one of the best quotes. If you participate make sure to leave a link down below so I can check your post out.

Harry Potter Book Tag

Image
Today I'm going to be doing the Harry Potter Book Tag. I love the series and this tag is amazing. The spell images were created by Beatrice over at Dreamland Book Blog . Without further ado, let's get started. I would personally like to rewrite the ending to Uncle Tom's Cabin . It's not my favorite book, though some of Stowe's arguments were interesting. But I didn't like how one of the events happened at the end; it seemed unrealistic. So many. Percy Jackson for  starters. However, the prize for this one is going to Maze of Bones . I was initially against reading the series, but then I read the first book. From then on I flew threw the first two series and read several of the other books as well. Happy memories. From: Percy Jackson: Camp Half-Blood Confidential. It's out already, but I really would like to have it so I can read it. (Hopefully there's some jokes.) I'm going to use the word killer in the sense it means awesome. ...
