Sona Charaipotra

Sona Charaipotra is an entertainment and lifestyle writer based
in New York City, where she lives with her professor husband and her
empirically adorable daughter Kavya, who's two. When Sona is not interviewing
A-listers or watching The Vampire Diaries (for work, of course!) around little
Kavya's schedule (or lack thereof—gotta love that DVR), she's working on her
first novel while earning her MFA in fiction. You can find her on the web at SonaCharaipotra.com.

What was your favorite
toy as a child?

I was always way more into books than toys, but I was pretty
obsessed with my Easy-Bake Oven!
