Cornelia Funke:
I'm not sure I have a question at the moment? I have just finished Inkspell and am preparing myself for Inkdeath. I just wanted to thank you for giving me this world. I needed it so badly. I'm just like Elinor right now (and in my obsession with books) and I can only wish that someone someday will drag me into a story. Until then I will go on reading and re reading those that I hold dear in my heart.

Dear Raluca (or shall I call you Elinor?:)
one day all the books you read will show you the way out of the library and you will realize that they just prepared you for the magic of this world. Because that's what they do, I believe - they assure us, that the world is full of people, places and thoughts to discover. That we are not alone with what we dream of or long for, although what surrounds us may sometimes suggest that. I am a bookeater like you and I still love the feeling of walking into a bookstore and feeling at home wherever in the world I am. But I also know that without all those books I would never have dared to go out into the world and to discover that they had always told me about it!:)

Dear Cornelia, thank you for accepted me as your friend on goodreads. I'm really honor. I'm your big bigg fans. I think I grow with your books from Inkheart Trilogy (my fave!), The Thief Lord, Dragon Reader, and all of your books. You made me love children fantasy literature. I dream to be a writer too like you, any word of motivation or something for me and everyone else? God Bless!

Cornelia Funke:
I adore your stories, Cornelia and your original and fearless way of telling them. Often as I'm writing I begin to see my book as nothing special and I fall out of love with it. I find that sometimes it is hard to see myself as a writer or to remember that all authors are simply story tellers like me. How do you keep focused, but most of all inspired and enthralled by your own stories?
