Stealing Parker by Miranda Kenneally
Hundred Oaks #2
Interview with Miranda Kenneally
OUaT: Welcome Parker to OUaT. What was your first reaction when you found out you would be in a book?
-- I thought, oh shit. Now every one's going to know the real reasons why I've been acting so wacky this past year. Also, I wondered if there would be a Lifetime movie about me. Maybe Demi Lovato could play me? Maybe?
OUaT: If you didn't play sports, what other activity would you have wanted to do?
-- I would've been on the school newspaper with my best friend, Drew. I want to say I would be the advice columnist, but I honestly don't know who would want advice from me. I'm a train wreck!
OUaT: What will you always remember about high school?
-- My first kiss with Will Whitfield.
OUaT: If you had a choice of who your book boyfriend could have been, who would you have picked?
-- Are you asking if I could have a book boyfriend like in another book? If so, I'd probably pick Po from GRACELING, because he is hot and badass. But if you're asking about my book (the one that might become a Lifetime movie- STEALING PARKER), then I would say Will/Corndog. :)
OUaT: If you go to a bookstore right now, what 3 items would you pick up?
I love historical romances, so I'd probably pick up The Duke and I by Julia Quinn, Mine Till Midnight by Lisa Kleypas, and Private Arrangements by Sherry Thomas.

If I could: go anywhere on vacation, I would take a cruise to Alaska.
I don’t really think I can: play tennis. I am the worst tennis player ever. I always hit the ball over the fence.
My life would be complete if: I had a screened-in porch and a fireplace.
Bloggers are: the reason my books have sold so well. :)
I only want to: get a starred review from Kirkus. Ha!

Thanks for the giveaway! A book I have read with a great female protagonist is Cinder; I have read many others too like like The Pledge, but then this comment will be really long! :)
ReplyDeleteI would have to say Katniss in the Hunger Games!!
ReplyDeleteI've been reading Divergent out loud to my boyfriend this week - definitely a strong, kick-ass female protagonist!
ReplyDeleteAngelfall by Susan Ee.
ReplyDeleteThere were many! One that comes to mind is Throne of Glass.

My favorite of the year (that also has a strong female protagonist) is Cinder. She's smart, resourceful and I can't wait to find out what happens in Scarlet.
ReplyDeleteGrave Mercy, which I loved!
ReplyDeleteAll of my books, actually. I can't stand the weak-wristed damsel type. My favorite, though was Ismae from GRAVE MERCY. Nun assassin!
ReplyDeleteKatniss is kick a$$; sorry, I had to say it! :D
ReplyDeleteI've read a lot of books this year with strong female MCs, but a few that stand out are Allie from The Immortal Rules, Noa from Don't Turn Around, and Kali from Every Other Day. Thanks for the giveaway! ^_^
