2012’s Best Author/Illus Interviews

While we’re finishing off the Christmas cookies and figgy pudding (does anyone really eat figgy pudding? what is it anyway?!), Janie and I thought we’d celebrate the closing of the year with a few retrospective posts.  If you’re new to the site, or if you just happened to miss a few, here are our ten most popular interviews from the year.  Hope you enjoy meeting these authors, illustrators, and cultural critics as much as we did!

1.  Tim Challies on 50 Shades of Grey

2.  Talking Over The Hunger Games

3.  Alan Jacobs on Raising Readers

4.  50 Shades Roundtable with WORLD’s Megan Basham

5.  Susan Olasky’s 4th of July Interview

6.  Tolkien’s Villains with Jim Ware (Hobbit Read Along, Week 2)

7.  Jonathan Rogers on Flannery O’Connor

8.  Tough Guy Interview with Andrew Klavan

9.  American Girls Podcast: Dangers and Delights

10.  Bunk Beds, Backpacks, and Bibles

In the next few weeks, Janie and I will be planning for next year.  Do you have any favorite authors or illustrators interviews you’d like us to pin down on something?  Let us know in the comments, and maybe we can make it happen!
