But lately my favorite has been Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons. I’ll pretty much read anything, and I love about a million books. Meg Cabot: I kind of hate this question, because I’m such a book slut. SheKnows: What are your all-time favorite authors? Favorite book? Meg Cabot: Right now? A bag of mini-Heath bars and the remote control. But hopefully we also get to feel like winners sometimes, too! Meg Cabot: Aw, thanks for saying that! Maybe because they can relate to the characters? We all feel a little like outsiders from time to time. SheKnows: What do you think readers love about your books? Her feelings would be so hurt! So, obviously, I never answer this question.

And then Anne would have gotten the part and might see this and think she wasn’t my first choice. Meg Cabot: Honestly, put yourself in my shoes: What if this book were The Princess Diaries and I didn’t know who Anne Hathaway was (which, way back in 2000, I didn’t - no one did!)? I’d have said some actress other than Anne Hathaway. SheKnows: If you could cast the movie or TV version of the series, what actresses-actors would you hire for which parts? There’s also a resolution to Em’s on-again-off-again romance with shmexy classmate Christopher. Meg Cabot: Em is finally going to find out the truth behind both the new product Stark Enterprises (the corporation behind the “accident” that made her a member of the “Walking Dead”) is rolling out and what really happened to Nikki. SheKnows: What’s the scoop on the latest in the series, Runaway? And did I mention they’re both legally dead and technically alive at the same time, in separate bodies? Nikki’s an ego maniac with a libido as big as her bank account. Meg Cabot: Emerson’s a Mathlete with low self-esteem who wouldn’t know a Louboutin from a Ramen noodle.

SheKnows: If you had to compare Emerson and Nikki - their personalities, their relationship - how would you sum them up? Who did it and why? Will Em ever get her old life back? Or will she forever be trapped in this nightmare?

Meg Cabot: Tomboy-brainiac Em Watts is the victim of a horrifying accident (or was it an accident?) that ends up with her brain medically transplanted into the body of someone else, supermodel and Stark spokesmodel Nikki Howard. SheKnows: Tell us a bit about the Airhead series? The fabulous and ever so funny Cabot, who has legions of fans, dishes on some other fun parts of her personal life as well - like her obsession with miniature Heath bar candies and why young adult novels like hers, and others, appeal to adults of all ages.
