I absolutely second N°49 and N°50. Especially given the current political climate...*shudders*
ReplyDeleteI would love to interview Seanan McGuire, but at the same time, I'm sure I'd feel intimidated LOL. Not because she's actually intimidating...
I learned to read at a very young age too - my mum and my grandma used to read to me, and at 4 y.o., I was already able to do it on my own.
OOoh fun! I might try to do this one this weekend! Wayyy back in my blogging day I did get to interview a few authors, I guess now I'd pick Stephanie Garber! LOL.
