Have you ever wanted to know what it would be like to hang out with your favorite author(s)?

If you were given a chance to travel back in time, what year or place would you go / Why?
I’m pretty much a modern conveniences kind of girl and can’t imagine living anywhere without indoor plumbing, so I would say the farthest back I’d be willing to go is the 1920s (pre-depression).

Please share with us about your favorite book and fictional crush to date?
I have two favorite books: J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye and Sandra Cisneros’s House on Mango Street. Both are beautifully written stories about characters on the fringes of their world, unable to do what others expect of them.

If you could be any character in fiction, whom would you be / Why?
If someone wrote a biography about you, what do you think the title should be – please explain?

Hermione Granger because she is brilliant, brave and always gets the job done :)

Things Like This Don’t Really Happen to People
My college roommate, and best friend to this day, is fond of saying my life is a soap opera. Literally. If it’s strange, bizarre, crazy, awful or just completely unbelievable, it’s happened to me. So much so that when I was asking another friend of mine what my bio title should be, her answer was the above. Seriously. My life is just plain nuts, but after all these years, I’m finally used to it :)

It was before Facebook, but my best friend and I actually did something like the International Kissing Club on our Eurorail trip one summer. NOT as fun as it might seem, I should add!!

I love that she picked Hermoine...she would be my choice too!! The adult Hermoine though!
ReplyDeleteI agree, as much as going really far back in time sounds appealing, indoor plumbing is just necessary.
ReplyDeleteGreat interview.I'm with you on the indoor plumbing :) Gotta have it.
ReplyDeleteI adore the 1920's. Such a fabulous time!
ReplyDeleteOoo, the 1920s would be fun! I'd love to wear a flapper dress and use cheesy slang as the norm.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for this book. I feel like mermaids should have had a bigger part of this genre of books. Great interview.
ReplyDeleteGreat interview!!!! I just can't wait to read that book....and the cover is sooooooooo beautiful!!!!!
ReplyDeleteA lot of people have mentioned Holden Caulfield as a fictional crush or a favorite character, and I just don't see it. I honestly was never a fan of his. I liked The Catcher in the Rye, but Holden not so much.
ReplyDeleteFun interview!
Awesome interview. Can't wait!
