Dear favourite author I started listening to the audible Soulless version. They made a great choice for reader voice. As Soulless is one of my top 5 comfort reads I was wondering what's your comfort read and movie?
Gail Carriger
Thank you! The narrator is Emily Gray and she's great. I'm so proud to be a comfort read, that's exactly WHY I write. I have a number of comfort reads, depending on what genre I'm in the mood for. I've been reading a lot of m/m recently and one of my top comfort rereads right now is a SciFi called Claiming Tails and Other Alien Artifacts by Lyn Gala. Closely followed by Mary Calmes' Frog. For epic fantasy, I reread the Servant of the Empire series almost every year as well as Forgotten Beasts of Eld. If I really need nostalgia then I go for Tamora Pierce's Kel or Alana books (YA). So far as movies go, I love most Austen adaptations and the TV series Leverage, but my two biggest comfort movies are Latter Days and Bend It Like Beckham. I've a blog post where I talk abotu my reading habits and the kinds of books I gravitate towards here: http://gailcarriger.com/2017/04/10/wh...

Hi Gail! I remember reading that you're actually an anthropologist, specifically archaeologist I think..? (correct if wrong) and i'm wondering, myself being an anthropology student and also someone who loves to read/ write and wants to publish someday, how did you manage it? and now that you are an author, how much of your anthropology job do you actually do anymore? or are you a full time author/writer now? thanks!
