What book are you recommending right now?

Deep Work by Cal Newport

If your story beast had a form, what would it be?

Probably a unicorn – it looks delightful and harmless, but it has a huge horn that's just perfect for skewering you through the heart.

If you could meet one story character, who would it be and why?

Elizabeth Bennet, because I think we'd have a lot of fun snarking in the corner.

Let's talk favorites! Tell us your...favourite book:

This is a cruel question, because it's impossible for me to choose one! Instead I'll go for most influential book/series – the Song of the Lioness Quartet by Tamora Pierce.

...favourite author:

Also cruel! Though I have always had a soft spot for Terry Pratchett and cried when he died.

...favourite trope:

Enemies to lovers!

...favourite snack right now:

Bear with me on this one, but... a dark chocolate rice cake with peanut butter. Trust me – it's amazing!
