The Book Resort is thrilled to have the terrific Jennifer Hubbard over for a little dish.
Jennifer is one of the amazing tenners!
Ready? Let's go!
Me: What are you working on now? (If you can give us a hint!)
JH: I don't like to say a lot about works in progress, but I can tell you they are contemporary YA...
Me: Spiderman or Superman:
JH: Depends on when you ask me. Today, Superman.
Me: Wonder Woman or Batgirl:
JH: Wonder Woman, because of that truth lasso.
Me: Chunky or Smooth:
JH: Chunky. Otherwise, what's the point?
Me: Favorite flavor ice cream:
JH: Mint chocolate chip.
Me: Favorite ice cream topping:
JH: Chocolate chips, or real whipped cream.
Me: Subway or Taxi:
JH: I ride public transit all the time, but I appreciate a good taxi ride.
Me: Broadway Show or Movie Theater:
JH: I've actually never been to a Broadway show, so I would have to try that.
Me: TiVo or DVR:
JH: I live in the dark ages; we have a VCR.
Me: Favorite vacation place:
JH: The Pacific Northwest.
Me: Next vacation destination:
JH: It's not decided yet. Still savoring this year's trip to Mount Rainier.
Me: Favorite NYC hotspot:
JH: Ahaha, I'm flattered you would think I have any clue how to answer this.
Me: Guilty Pleasure:
JH: Junk food. Also the Academy Awards red-carpet shows.
Me: Good luck charm:
JH: I don't think I have one. Maybe I should get one.
Me: When you were a little girl, you thought you would grow up to be a….
JH: At various times: teacher, scientist, writer, librarian. I was right about a couple of those.
Me: Last thing bought at the mall:
JH: Clothing.
Me: Item on your grocery list:
JH: Cream.
Me: French fries or Onion Rings:
JH: I don't usually eat either, but I'll have the occasional fry if it comes with my sandwich.
Me: Pizza: New York or Chicago?
JH: Whatever's in front of me. But not pineapple.
Me: Midnight snack:
JH: Popcorn.
Me: Bookmark or dog ear?
JH: Bookmark.
Me: Read with dustjacket or remove it?
JH: I usually leave it on, unless it keeps slipping off in an annoying manner.
Me: Ocean, Lake, Desert, Mountain:
JH: Yes. And you left out forest.
Me: Favorite book:
JH: I can't pick just one! I list several favorites on my website.
Me: Item you can't live without:
JH: My contact lenses.
Me: Who is your favorite writer that most people have never heard of?
JH: Hm. Maybe Ruth Holland.
Me: What kid or teen books made a difference in your world growing up?
JH: All of them. But I read a lot of Judy Blume, Lois Duncan, Ellen Conford, Marilyn Sachs, and Paul Zindel.
Me: Where do you like to write your books (bed ~ coffee shop ~ an office)?
JH: My home office is my favorite place.
Me: Describe your ideal place to write:
JH: See above.
Me: What are you reading @ the moment?
JH: Right now, Psych Major Syndrome. Also, Writers [on Writing], Volume 2. And Leaving Gee's Bend.
Me: Where do you usually read?
JH: Everywhere.
Me: Do you usually have more than one book you are reading at a time?
JH: Always.
Me: Do you read nonfiction in a different way or place than you read fiction?
JH: No.
About Jennifer:
I grew up in New England and came to Philadelphia at the age of seventeen. Except for a six-month stint in Atlanta, I have lived in the Philadelphia area ever since. I am a night person who believes that mornings were meant to be slept through, a chocolate lover, and a hiker. I walk every day, and hike on weekends when I can.
I’ve been writing since the age of six, when I used to write and illustrate my own picture books. (Fortunately, none of those early efforts have survived, unless my parents are hiding them for future blackmail plans.) In high school, I considered it fun to come home from school and write novels. My grandfather worked at a printing plant that produced spiral-bound notebooks. Any flaws in the printing or binding process would land the notebooks in the company store at a steep discount, so I always had plenty of notebooks on hand. Now I write on a computer most of the time.
