We continue our exclusive interview with Red Glove author Holly Black (see part 1 HERE!) — and today she answers our favorite flash questions of 2011:
If they made a Holly Black candle, what would it smell like?
Coffee, absinthe and the still-burning pages of a first draft.
Favorite cartoon?
Not sure if it really counts as a cartoon, as really it’s just animated, but I love, love, loved The Cat Returns and I urge everyone to see it.
Chocolate or vanilla?
Vanilla.
Your personal theme song?
“I Wish I Had An Evil Twin” by The Magnetic Fields
You’re on a deserted island and have to read one book for the rest of your life. What is it?
That seems very hard, but I think I am going to go with Lord of the Rings. It’s long, it must be bound up in a single edition somewhere, and it’s endlessly re-readable.
Favorite book as a child?
Thomasina by Paul Gallico
Secret talent?
I can touch my nose with my tongue.
