Ninth House
By Leigh Bardugo
Buy on Amazon

Favorite place to read a book: on my living room couch after my kids are in bed

Book character I’d like to be stuck in an elevator with: I'd choose someone to make me laugh like Simon from Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda, or I'd pick Inej from Six of Crows who'd have us out of there in a hot minute. I'm not a fan of small spaces.

The moment I knew I wanted to become an author: In fourth grade, I bound together printed sheets of terrible poetry with those plastic slide report covers that were big in the eighties and then gave my mini-anthologies to teachers and relatives as gifts. That was the first time I knew I wanted to be an author. The second indelible moment (which I don't often admit) came years later. After reading Twilight in a weekend, I decided I wanted to become a YA author.

Hardback, paperback, ebook or audiobook: I love hardback books, but most of my reading is done through audiobook on the way to and from work

The last book I read: The Grief Keeper by Alexandra Villasante

The Grief Keeper
By Alexandra Villasante
Buy on Amazon

Pen & paper or computer: Pen and paper for taking notes and computer for everything else 

Book character I think I’d be best friends with: Zan from If You're Out There— she's funny, loyal, always up for anything, and doesn't take life too seriously, or I might pick Adam from my book who's based on the combination of two of my literal best friends that I've had at different times in my life

If I wasn’t an author, I’d be a: well-rested middle school literacy teacher (as it is now, I wake up way too early to write each morning)  

Favorite decade in fashion history: 90s. Oh, how I loved my flannels, baggy jeans, and hats

Place I’d most like to travel: Hawaii, or any place on the ocean (ironically, I'm scared of the ocean)

My signature drink: red wine

Favorite artist: Leigh Bardugo

Number one on my bucket list: see the Northern Lights

Anything else you'd like to add: When I was younger, people used to randomly ask me if Kim-Possible was modeled after me. It happened so often that I eventually created a very elaborate and convincing lie about how I was the original inspiration for the Disney character, but I turned down the royalties, which I lived to regret later in life. I'm not sure which part of that lie was most ridiculous, but it still makes me laugh that people believed me.

Bio: Kimberly Gabriel is the author of EVERY STOLEN BREATH (November 5, 2019; HarperCollins/Blink). She started writing in fourth grade when she penned, bound, and gave away books of terrible poetry to family and teachers as holiday gifts. Today she is an English teacher who still squanders all free minutes to write and uses it as the best scapegoat for her laundry avoidance issues.
