Which author would you love to have dinner with?

View all responses

If I can choose authors that have passed away as well, I would love to have a sit down and chat with Diana Wynne Jones.

The vivid fantastical worlds she has created has been such an inspiration to me. She truly opened my eyes to that whole genre of books and movies.

I would love to learn from her about all the inspiration for her writing and if she had any projects she was working on prior to her death.

I don’t know, I feel like I could have some interesting conversations with her especially with us both throwing ideas into the mix of a new book. That would be wild, writing a book with her!

Interesting question. I’d probably go with Dostoevsky or Hemingway, but I don’t think they’d be too keen on it lol

● About Me

Hello! I am Ashley and I simply love to read, and hope you do to!
I am currently 29 years old and living in the state of Texas, USA.

My favorite genres to read and review include romance, fantasy, mystery, and many subgenres of those as long as it is clean. I mainly get my books from my Kindle Unlimited membership, but I also found myself checking out library books on Libby as well.

As you can see, I do not solely post book reviews, I also love posting daily prompt writing, as well as stuff that is going on in my life currently. That being said, my passion is reading and reviewing books to my heart’s content, so hopefully that is something you are also interested in.

I do have a Goodreads where you can follow if you desire (no pressure!) I also have a StoryGraph, of which you can follow me here.
