This man is a literary genius.

I absolutely love that you have an author interview. Beaut.

I like how smooth this interview went, not many awkward spots!

Me too, I love the old fashioned feel of it ^^

Very nice interview! I've never read any of Jonathan's books before, but I'm definitely looking forward to changing that!

I know, I completely agree with you, and the Lockwood series are just as good. I'll be putting up a review of the first one on Thursday and just gushing about how absolutely in love with it I am!

I'm sooo jealous that you've got to meet him, Stevie. I loved the Bartimaeus trilogy when I was younger, and Stroud was the first author to introduce me to that fantasy can be hilarious as well as brilliant. I'm really looking forward to getting Lockwood!

I am currently reading Lookwood & Co at the moment and am enjoying it :). I like the world building so far.

I'll be reviewing it soon as well, and recommending it most highly.

Consider it added to my to-read list!

Oh you must read some! Either this one (which I will be reviewing on Thursday) or the first in the Bartimaeus Sequence which is called The Amulet of Samarkand. Honestly, so funny, so gripping, a truly amazing book.

This was really interesting! I love his writing and the Bartimaeus Trilogy! Of course I hope to get my hands on this new book! I think it's awesome that you got to interview him. I'd probably freeze meeting anyone I admire and just stare and forget how to speak. Well done girl!

I really want to read this now! Unfortunately I have a bunch of stuff to read for school :(

I'm having this problem where I feel like I have money, 'cause I've spent the entire summer working, however I realise I will soon need that to pay for frivolous things at uni ...like food. I will say though that I absolutely adored this book (I will review it in full soon). If you're going to spend money on a book at some point, this one is definitely deserving.

I very very nearly picked this book up the other day but I'm off to uni in a couple of weeks so need to keep my dosh :( Hopefully I shall get it soon!

I got that book rick riordan said he read it and said put it on your need to read list the house of hades is so close to be regale sing

This is actually my second interview now! I was lucky enough to interview Holly Smale a few months ago.

I am still amazed I got to meet him! He was an amazing person, really lovely and funny to talk to in real life as well. And tell me what you think of Lockwood when you've read it ^^

This was the best as thing I could do with it as far as my speakers were concerned. I reckon next time we just try and not mess up the sound : P

Great interview! I've read The Bartimaeus Trilogy and really enjoyed it. As for this new series, well, it seems like it could be really cool, too. I'll definitely be checking it out :)

Fun interview. I lovE your hair today

Random House have always been great to me. They send me loads of books, run events to talk to bloggers about new books and authors, and yeah, agree to meet up with me so I can film their authors. Any problem, and this is just nitpicking, is that they sometimes don't consider that I'm a vlogger not a blogger and thus my content is necessarily different. What are you reading atm? I always alternate, one fun book, one literary book.

Ah, he actually spoke about NaNoWriMo in particular but I had to cut it because the video was already ridiculously long.

please please review a book called bad blood by rhiannon lassiter its simply marvelous, i know its probably one of many requests but its definitely underrated and an excellent novel :P

I was very stuttery at first but I calmed down as the interview went on : P

Last "fun" book I read was JKR's Cuckoo's Calling in Aug.: took 1/2 a Sun. Breezy. Before that was L. Alexander's Prydain series 5 vol. in Feb. I don't alternate fun/serious titles, I follow my whim. Now I'm reading An Experiment in Criticism and The Discarded Image, both by the (in)famous attainer of a spot in Poet's Corner at Westminster as of Nov. 22, CS Lewis. TBR pile, not set in stone: next Daniel Deronda,Road to Middle-Earth,The Company They Keep,The Children of Hurin,Game of Thrones.

Just posted a video on it ^^

This is clearly more important : P What do you have to read for school?

That last word is relese

Good interview. How aware do you feel Random House is re booktubers & the whole booktubing community? What do you see the near future holding re the relationship between publishers & booktubia? [Postmortem follow-up exercise: interview the interviewer. (-: ) Not going to read much lit. now: more into literary books...tough nuts too...they take a lot of effort for my nonEnglishmajor mind.

Ew Daniel Deronda (I am not an Eliot fan : P). CS Lewis I love though, the last I read was The Great Divide, I must read more.

Mine or Jonathan's? : P

Eliot shows sympathy even to characters she doesn't like eg. the dreary,string-pulling,self-serving BishopCasaubon.Maybe you had too much analyzing SilasMarner in 2edary school.The density of her prose makes her harder stuff heavy weather.If you're able to read all of Lewis' Allegory ofLove and EnglishLiterature in the16thCentury excluding drama (haul out your Anglo-Saxon, Latin & ancient Greek for these)you're much more scholarly than me.Great Divorce was influenced by Prudentius&G. MacDonald.

ATTENTION ALL POTTERHEADS!!! J.K. Rowling is writing the script for a movie adaption of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them!!! The Queen of Potter is back to lead us once more!!! :) :) :) :)
