Book Blogger Hop - 6/9 - 6/15

 Question of the Week:

If you could have lunch with any living authors and/or book bloggers, who would you choose and why? (submitted by Kitty @ Vicarious Bookworm)

My Answer: 

I would have the same answer as the question from April 7 asking what author I would enjoy meeting.

I would enjoy having lunch with Daphne du Maurier.

She is a master at creativity and intrigue.  Her characters are authentic.  Even though most characters are unlikable, I would want to ask her how she came up with her characters and how she made them the way they are. 

I would also like to ask her how she came up with the ideas for her books.  :)

As for bloggers...I would LOVE to have lunch with any of my book blogger friends.  They are the BEST!!

We definitely would have a fantastic "book" lunch.

  3. Very nice answer! I have not read any of her work. Strangely enough, I didn't pick the author I chose based on how much I like their work but how interesting I think their personalities must be.

  4. Du Maurier would be a great choice. She sounds like a fascinating woman and she's an amazing author. I've got My Cousin Rachel coming up on my reading list and I'm really excited about it!

  5. I still need to read one of her books! I think it would be interesting to visit with an author whose work has carried on through time. I bet it would be really insightful!

    Thank you for sharing, Elizabeth. I hope you have a great weekend!

  6. Elizabeth, Thanks for stopping by my page. Your answer is so funny, I was listening to a podcast today and they mentioned Rebecca and My Cousin Rachel, both written by this author (if I'm not mistaken). What a small world. Now that Your chosen author is beloved. :)

    1. Oh yes...we would close the place down. :)

      No way could we talk for only a few hours about books. :)

      Thanks for stopping, Mary.

  13. Oh, I would enjoy having lunch with du Maurier myself! She certainly IS a master!! I was a bit disappointed with "Rebecca", but I would still like to meet her.

    As for bloggers, as you know from my post, YOU are one of the ones that I would greatly enjoy having lunch with! Even though we don't read the same genres, I'd LOVE to find out more about the ones you like to read. And I saw from your comment on my post that you've read "Twilight"!! Oh, how I would LOVE to discuss that one with you!! And I could learn more about historical fiction from you! We would have a BLAST, Elizabeth!!! Lol.

    Thanks for your lovely comment on my own BBH post!! Hope you're having a WONDERFUL Saturday!! <3 <3 <3 :) :) :)

    2. Awwww.....thanks!! You're a sweet person, too!! <3 <3 <3

      I would LOVE to have lunch with you in an Italian restaurant of your recommendation!! :) :) :)

      Yeah....Mrs. Danvers was the PERFECT, CREEPY villain! *shivers*

      You're more than welcome for my stop!! Hope you're having a WONDERFUL Sunday!! <3 <3 :) :)

    3. The best Italian restaurant would be at MY house. :)

      Thanks for stopping back, Maria.

    4. Hi, again!!

      I'm on my cell now. We're at a restaurant called "Brio". But I'm SURE the best Italian restaurant would be at YOUR house!! Lol.

      We would LOVE to go there, if we were ever in Pittsburgh! 😃
      But alas, if you came down here, we would have to take you to one of the BEST Cuban restaurants, as I don't cook.... Lol. 😝😝😝 There are two very well-known ones: "La Carreta", and "Versailles" (despite the name, it IS a Cuban restaurant).

      Hasta luego!! (Later!) 💖😘💖😘💖😘💖😘
