I know I'm not alone when I say that Charlotte's death just wrecked me. White is the first book that made me cry. What book/s have made you cry? What book/s have made you laugh?Ĭharlotte's Web by E.B. McKinley's heroines are so personable, and I identified with them so strongly, that I wanted to learn how to do that as well – write characters that people want to spend as much time with as they can. This is a book designed for horse-crazy misfit teenage girls, which is exactly what I was the first time I read it. The other is The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley. It amazed me that Bradbury could evoke an actual, physical reaction just by using words on the page. The sheer beauty of it, the powerful atmosphere – there's a scene where the narrator buys new sneakers, and reading that the first time I could actually sense that rubbery new shoe smell at the back of my throat. Was there a book that inspired you to write? I kind of miss being able to read a favorite so many times without feeling guilty about all the books I haven't read. I re-read a lot – if I found a book I loved I'd read it a dozen times. Reading in the car, reading during meals, reading anything I could find. I was one of those voracious kid readers you always hear about.
Carrie Vaughn What kind of reader were you as a child?
