I absolutly adore Graceling and have ...Hi Kristin,<br /><br />I absolutly adore Graceling and have just started reading Fire. If Graceling is considered to be made into a movie, and I understand how your decision influences this and the chances of it being considered, do you think you would want famous acotrs and actresses in the lead roles because of their experience or would you let auditions be held to give first-timers their big break? If an audition was to take place, would it be held in London do you think? It's just on the small chance that Graceling is considered to become a movie (which i think it definatly should) I as an avid reader, writer and young actress currently working in a small theatre have alot of suggestions for some of the roles and would like to audition for the lead role myself. I realise you may not be the best person to ask but if you do find out or already know anything i would be very grateful. thankyou,<br /><br />FürDichAllein xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228273369846378320.post-45863108340180571592009-12-21T08:59:56.744-05:002009-12-21T08:59:56.744-05:00i really love graceling, it has actually inspired ...i really love graceling, it has actually inspired me to want to learn archery and sword fighting for a sport.<br />thankyou, keep on writing.<br />from VanessaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228273369846378320.post-60639322487109938002009-12-20T13:29:39.005-05:002009-12-20T13:29:39.005-05:00i realise that quite a few books get adapted into ...i realise that quite a few books get adapted into movies... it would certainly be interesting to see if that happens with graceling or fire! i just finished fire today- and i wonder who could be casted for such a poweful role???<br /><br />your books are amazing.

If they do exist I am almost certain that I would have lived in a time closest to the world you created in Graceling. It's such an amazing book. I put it down to go to sleep hoping I'll dream of it.

I love them all (Graceling, Twilight series, Harry Potter, Narnia, LOTR, Hunger Games) and have a hard time when people try to rank. To me, having hundreds of favorites is immensely better than having a very limited reading ground. While I think it is great that you are recommending Graceling to others (so am I--- have three friends reading it!), I don't think that forgetting about other books is the best selling point.<BR/><BR/>--Katsa, Bella, Harry and the lot fanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228273369846378320.post-88291064428151670162009-02-17T09:59:00.000-05:002009-02-17T09:59:00.000-05:00I'm so excited about the recognition you're gettin...I'm so excited about the recognition you're getting!

Congratulations!<BR/><BR/>I don't know if this is a Frequently Asked Question, but it's a question nonetheless: GRACELING is the book that's out and that your readers want to talk about, but you're deeply involved in Bitterblue's story at this point. Is it hard to have to go back and forth among books, to talk to people about the one you wrote a couple of years ago instead of the one you're writing now? Do you have to remind yourself that your readers don't know all about FIRE or BITTERBLUE yet, even though they're so familiar to you?<BR/><BR/>Katsa-fanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228273369846378320.post-21191414549614279692009-02-16T11:57:00.000-05:002009-02-16T11:57:00.000-05:00Firstly, congrats on the recognition!
