It’s Monday and we have our latest King’s C.R.O.W.N.ing Authors (Cajoling Random Observations Now) interview with, NY TImes Best Selling YA high fantasy author, Leigh Bardugo.

Drum roll for Leigh Bardugo!  You have the questions, we are now waiting for your response.

Would you rather dance in the rain or watch a storm?

Summon a storm and watch it lay waste to my enemies.

Ravens of seagulls?

Crows. They’re ravens who don’t put on airs.

If I say, ‘wheatgrass shot,’ you say ________?

Anything you want. Please don’t make me drink wheatgrass.

My yogi says that a strong abdomen means a strong sense of self – what do you do to have a strong sense of self? (in one sentence)

I surround myself with brilliant, funny, supportive people and avoid beauty and gossip magazines.

Who is your favorite book hero? (can be a character, author, publisher)

Arya Stark and Laini Taylor.

Do you know the song, ‘It’s a long way to Tipperary?’

Yes, but those are the only words I know to it.

If you could create a new food group what would it be?

Some kind of chewy group that included mochi, boba, and gummy bears.

If you have to make a present for a family member what would it be? ( I’ve made up a tin whistle song in the past, but I was 8 and it was pretty adorable!)

I do like making custom photo albums. The iPhoto albums are a lot slicker, but there’s still something lovely about actual photo prints, paint, and glue.

Yale in five words?

Magical. Yale was my Hogwart’s.

Hollywood Hills or Venice Beach?

ALWAYS Hollywood Hills. I have a powerful aversion to the West Side of Los Angeles.

The End
