An Author To Have Dinner With
Picking just one feels impossible, but if I had to choose between Ali Hazelwood and Liza Grimm, I’d be torn between comfort and chaos—both in the best ways.
Ali Hazelwood would be the perfect guest for a relaxed evening. Her stories are always enjoyable, blending romance with scientistic settings in a way that feels both grounded and dreamy. I can easily picture us sitting down over pasta, discussing trope preferences, the intricacies of publishing, or just life in general. There’s something about her writing style that suggests she’d be approachable, warm, and a great listener. I think we’d get into talking easily, without the awkward silences that sometimes plague interviews. It would feel like hanging out with a friend who happens to write brilliant books.
On the other hand, Liza Grimm offers a completely different energy. Her German comics, especially H.O.R.D.E., are packed with humour and satire. Having her over would guarantee an amazingly hilarious dinner. I can already imagine her cracking jokes about the industry, sharing behind-the-scenes anecdotes from creating comic panels, and laughing at the absurdity of fandom culture. The vibe wouldn’t just be pleasant—it would be loud, chaotic, and unforgettable. Plus, supporting a local talent like Grimm feels meaningful, bridging the gap between reader and creator in a personal way.
If I could bend the rules, I’d invite both. Imagine the dynamic: Hazelwood bringing the calm, thoughtful conversation, and Grimm injecting the punchlines. We could talk romance tropes one minute and dissect comic panel layouts the next. It would be a masterclass in storytelling across different mediums.
But since the seat at the table is limited, I’ll settle for picking based on mood. For a cozy night? Hazelwood. For a night where I need to laugh until it hurts? Grimm. Either way, the conversation would be worth every calorie consumed.
