Richelle Mead's commentary on Bloodlines

Counting down to the release of The Indigo Spell, Richelle Mead started a Bloodlines Book Club where she re-reads the first two books and posts commentary about each chapter in both books. As she states on her blog, "They won't be summaries or anything--mostly just my thoughts about what was going on when I wrote those chapters." She has completed reading Bloodlines and here are the links to those posts:

• Chapter 1 and 2
• Chapter 3
• Chapter 4
• Chapter 5
• Chapter 6 and 7
• Chapter 8 and 9 
• Chapter 10
• Chapter 11
• Chapter 12
• Chapter 13
• Chapter 14
• Chapter 15 and 16
• Chapter 17 and 18
• Chapter 19
• Chapter 20
• Chapter 21
• Chapter 22
• Chapter 23
• Chapter 24 and 25
• Chapter 26 and 27

Insightful stuff! And pretty cool reading what the author has to say about her own book and characters. I loved her post on chapters 26 and 27 for obvious reasons. (SYDRIAN!) Richelle has already started her chapter commentary for The Golden Lily. Once she's done, I'll be sure to put those in a new post.

Audio Editions of Books 1 - 3

Okay, so I had to show off the cover art of the audio editions! You can see more of Adrian's face (*stares* hehe) on The Indigo Spell and a little on Bloodlines and more of Sydney's face on The Golden Lily. I've included links to Amazon for each book, and you can actually hear samples from Bloodlines and The Indigo Spell. Not sure why The Golden Lily doesn't provide a sample.

If you're wondering, no, The Indigo Spell does not go all the way to chapter three. I was really REALLY hoping it would! haha But, it's only a sample of some of chapter one. I don't even think it got to the Adrian part. *sigh* Just 10 more days...

Richelle Mead's January 24 Twitter Chat

Last week on January 17, Richelle Mead had a Twitter chat for 30 minutes via #readpenguin where she answered questions tweeted to her by fans. The focus was on world-building (although, you really could ask whatever you wanted). The entire chat can be found here.

Yesterday, she had another Twitter chat, and this time the theme was romance! I'm not going to compile all the tweets (you can read the transcript here), but I will post the ones relating to Bloodlines and Sydney/Adrian. Two of my questions were answered, so that was pretty exciting. I made sure to bold those. ;)

Oh and before I forget, Richelle Mead will be having yet another Twitter chat next week! On Thursday, January 31 at 8PM EST. It will have a general Bloodlines theme. Looking forward to that. Hopefully I can think of some good questions by then.

Now on to the tweets!
