Today’s Book Blogger Hop question is: Which author would you most like to interview, and why?
Limiting myself to living authors…I’d like to interview Brene Brown, whose work on vulnerability has been amazing and life-changing…though I’m a little afraid I’d inadvertently try to turn it into a therapy session, wanting her insights on everything in my life!
I’d also like to interview Catherynne Valente, partially because I love her Fairyland series so much, and partially to see if I could somehow (discreetly, politely) puzzle out the question of why that series is SO DIFFERENT from the rest of her books.
I’d love to interview Geraldine McCaughrean, who wrote the wonderful White Darkness, and wrote me a wonderful letter back when I wrote to her about it. So I think she’d be just lovely to meet.
Do you have an author you’d like to interview? Purely because they’re awesome, or do you have questions you really want answered?
I’d like to interview Susan Cain, who wrote “Quiet,” which is a book about introverts. I think she would have some good insights. I’d also like to interview/talk with Gretchen Rubin, who wrote “The Happiness Project,” among other books. She has a weekly podcast that she does with her sister, Elizabeth Craft. They sound so natural and approachable that I think Gretchen would be fun to talk with. I did actually meet her once, at a book signing, and she was very friendly, even posing for a photo. But that was different since the interaction was so limited.
