Q:Activity! Dream cast your current read.

Oh, I am so bad at casting books...and I typically don't like to cast them while I'm reading because then I have them stuck in my mind the whole time. I'm actually currently reading Ashen Winter by Mike Mullen but I honestly have no idea who I would cast.   I did just finish Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers this week So I'll go ahead and take a stab at it. 

Ismae: Isabelle Fuhrman
For Ismae, I wanted someone who wasn't a BIG name, not ancestrally an unknown but not someone you would think of instantly. Being that Ismae is an assassin I wanted someone tough.  So my mind wandered to the Hunger Games, but didn't want to use Jennifer Lawrence. Then my mind came to the girl who played Clove, Isabelle Fuhrman.  After looking at a few photos I think she would be a good choice and not to mention with her performance as Clove I have no doubt she could handle the physicality that a roll at Ismae would require. 



Duval: Joe Dempsie
I didn't realize it when I was reading but I kinda sorta had an image of Joseph Fiennes as Robert Dudly in Elizabeth. Not exactly but it was close.  Mind you that movie is from 1997 and I don't think he would work alongside Isabelle Fuhrman.  So I started to think of period movies and TV shows & remembers Game of Thrones, I don't have HBO so I haven't seen the show, but came across a few pictures of Joe Dempsie and thought he could work for Duval (and he is 25 so the age is right) and actually he is much closer to the Duval I had in my head.

Q: Summer Break is upon us! What would be the perfect vacation spot for you to catch up on your reading & relax?

The Mall: photo from centralparknyc.org

My personal vacation style doesn't really leave much time for reading, I like to see and experience as much as I can in a place when I visit. I will read on a vacation but it's typically when 1.I'm on the plane or when it's not my turn to drive. 2. At the end of the day before I go to bed.  If I go on a vacation this summer it's most likely going to be a trip to visit friends and family out in New York City, which I've never actually been, so I figured I would try to come up with a great place to read if I had some down time.  I love reading in parks when the weather is nice and I'm sure central park has some great spots to curl up with a book! The above photo of the mall looks like a perfect spot to sit down with a good book.  I bet it's a great spot to people watch too!
