The Book Voyagers

Hello! I am so happy and excited to share this blog post with you. It's not a surprise that you find me talking about this book. I absolutely loved it and had such a great time getting to know these characters and the story. If you had seen my little review about it, you know that there are many fun stuff happening and many tea spilling. Broody is definitely someone you want to get to know more.

But today I won't be talking about Broody (oops! sorry, my love). This post is about a very special girl that tries to make Broody understand how problematic he can act in his books and such. She's the best thing about this book. I loved her and I hope you all adore her just as much as I did. 

Title: Brooding YA Hero: Becoming a Main Character (Almost) as Awesome as Me
Author: Carrie DiRisio
Illustrator: Linnea Gear
Publisher: Sky Pony Press
Release date: October 3, 2017

Synopsis:

Have you ever wished you could receive a little guidance from your favorite book boyfriend? Ever dreamed of being the Chosen One in a YA novel? Want to know all the secrets of surviving the dreaded plot twist?
Or maybe you're just really confused about what "opal-tinted, luminous cerulean orbs" actually are? 
Well, popular Twitter personality @broodingYAhero is here to help as he tackles the final frontier in his media dominance: writing a book. Join Broody McHottiepants as he attempts to pen Brooding YA Hero: Becoming a Main Character (Almost) as Awesome as Me, a "self-help" guide (with activities--you always need activities) that lovingly pokes fun at the YA tropes that we roll our eyes at, but secretly love. 
As his nefarious ex, Blondie DeMeani, attempts to thwart him at every turn, Broody overcomes to detail, among other topics, how to choose your genre, how to keep your love interest engaged (while maintaining lead character status), his secret formula for guaranteed love triangle success, and how to make sure you secure that sequel, all while keeping his hair perfectly coiffed and never breaking a sweat.

We have today the most awesome, greatest illustrator, Linnea Gear, who created Broody's new image and illustrates the whole novel. And today in the blog we are revealing the beautiful and "not-here-for-your-sh*t-Broody" Blondie DeMeani, the one who always gets written as the mean girl, ex-girlfriend of Broody, but in fact she wants to be a main character and find love. 





*looks at those pumps!!!*

ME: Linnea, how did everything start? How did you get approached to do this amazing thing? 
Linnea Gear: Carrie DiRisio and her editor, Alison Weiss, asked me to help do their cover and illustrations. I was so excited they asked me to, because I've been looking everywhere for an opportunity to be able to illustrate a book. It's been one of my dreams! 

ME: How has been like to draw Broody?
LG: I love Carrie and have done several commissions for her over the past couple years. Two include doing Broody's twitter icon, where everyone voted for their favorite "Broody Look," and then the "Thank You for voting" post of Broody. I can't believe I get to draw such a character, and only want to get him right since he has so many fans! His twitter is hilarious and I can't wait for everyone to see this book in all its finished glory!

Hi voyagers! It's night for me but it might be morning for you so all the good luck to a new day ~ and if you're ready to go to bed ~ good night my fellow book people! But DON'T GO JUST YET. You /have/ to do this first. Wanna know what is it? *evil laugh* Today on the blog I have a very special someone, you might know him. He's very charming on Twitter but also really honest.

*drumroll*

Please welcome BroodingYAHero aka Broody. And also welcome to lovely Carrie Ann, author of the upcoming book about Broody and the person behind the screen! I literally love this account so much, it's so genius and always speaks the truth. Carrie Ann is fabulous, and I am super happy about the book deal because it's going to be SO FUN.

So the thing about this post. I pitched some ideas to Carrie Ann and this one fit perfectly and we believe it would be so much fun and really interesting to see the answers and outcome. // Basically it's a quiz that has the same format of some quizzes that you might find in teen magazines. Or in magazines overall. The big question: WHAT'S YOUR IDEAL FIRST DATE WITH BROODY? And from there you will choose your answers and depending on the answer, you'll get another question and next and next, until at one point, you'll get a "Ending. See answer #" and you'll go to the number of the answer and you will know your ideal first date with one handsome Broody.

Ready?
ANSWERS:
♡ Ending #1:
You stay asleep/in a coma, and I solve the plot and save the world!

♡ Ending #2:
Let's have a masquerade ball, where I'll be certain not to recognize you due to your tiny elaborate mask.

♡ Ending #3:
No date for you. You seem to have reasonable, healthy expectations for a relationship, and I'm allergic to that.

♡ Ending #4:
Time for me to put you in a dangerous situation then save you!

♡ Ending #5:
Hmmm... why don't we have a lovely rooftop chat... about me, all my feelings, and my tragic backstory. And by chat, I mean, me whine.

♡ Ending #6:
I think the most romantic thing for me to do now is to skip the date and threaten every male who dares speak to you.

♡ Ending #7:
Let's sit some place quiet, and just... peer into each other's eyes. For a long, unblinking, adjective-filled hour.

♡ Ending #8:
I'll give you (and the reader) a tour of this new location you've found yourself in. Not only will you fall in love with me, all that boring world building will be taken care of by the end of the tour.

Share with us what's your ideal date!
