After reading “Shadow and Bone” by Leigh Barudgo, I couldn’t resist drawing something inspired by the people of Rawka
Absolutely LOVE it. Gimme that coat.
VINDICTEV: Reread Shadow and Bone
And LORD HAVE MERCY, Mal and Alina are the best couple I’ve ever read about. I can’t believe I missed most of the meanings the first time I read the book, and just OMG. Mal…Mal…MAL.
The things Mal would do for Alina are admirable; he’s always been there for her. You can feel how much they…
awwwww! my little author heart is bursting.

For readers interested in learning more about how not to be labeled as registered sex offenders, a good first step is not to rape unconscious women, no matter how good your grades are. Regardless of the strength of your GPA (weighted or unweighted), if you commit rape, there is a possibility you may someday be convicted of a sex crime. This is because of your decision to commit a sex crime instead of going for a walk, or reading a book by Cormac McCarthy. Your ability to perform calculus or play football is generally not taken into consideration in a court of law. Should you prefer to be known as ‘Good student and excellent football player Trent Mays’ rather than ‘Convicted sex offender Trent Mays,’ try stressing the studying and tackling and giving the sex crimes a miss altogether…
Trent Mays and Ma’lik Richardson are not the “stars” of the Steubenville rape trial. They aren’t the only characters in a drama playing out in eastern Ohio. And yet a CNN viewer learning about the Steubenville rape verdict is presented with dynamic, sympathetic, complicated male figures, and a nonentity of an anonymous victim, the ‘lasting effects’ of whose graphic, public sexual assault are ignored. Small wonder, then, that anyone would find themselves on the side of these men—these poor young men, who were very good at taking tests and playing sports when they were not raping their classmates.

Anberlin - Inevitable
I wanna break every clock
The hands of time could never move again
We could stay in this moment (stay in this moment)
For the rest of our lives
Is it over now hey, hey, is it over now
Nickelback - Far Away
Cause you know,
you know, you know
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you’ll be with me
and you’ll never go
Stop breathing if
I don’t see you anymore
Fightstar - Mercury Summer (Acoustic)
I hope we make it through
I hope the sea is just as blue as our dream
We’ve got a long way to climb
Until we see what we left behind.
SafetySuit - Anywhere But Here
Is this the end of the moment or just a beautiful unfolding
Of a love that will never be or maybe be
Everything that I never thought could happen
Or ever come to pass and I wonder
If maybe, maybe I could be all you ever dreamed
Westlife - Us Against The World
Cause it’s us against the world
You and me against them all
If you listen to these words
Know that we are standing tall
I don’t ever see the day that
I won’t catch you when you fall
Cause it’s us against the world tonight

Hi Leigh! Is there any possible way to change the release date of Seige and Storm to April?
Fraid not. BUT… the paperback of Shadow and Bone comes out on May 1 and it will have some fun bonus material. AND we should have more teasers and the like leading up to launch.
Summer is coming!

Shadow and Bone Dream Cast

Shadow and Bone Dream Cast
Mal: Emile Hirsch
Yes, I realize his hair is NOT the right colour, but I feel like he has the sort of handsome face - yet a bit rounded and european looking like I picture Mal. Plus, when he’s serious, he look like he COULD track a rabbit out of rocks but when he smiles it’s like “Oh hey girl, see YOU later *wink*”
All very important features.
Can I just say how much I love reading these? Yay for new fancasting!
