Ten Authors I’d LOVE to Meet
Top Ten Tuesdays are hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, where we make lists of our top ten books (or something else!) based on that week’s prompt. The topics are provided ahead of time and can be found here. Book links bring you to Goodreads or my review.
This week’s topic is about meeting authors – the ones you’ve met or the ones you’d love to meet. I have actually met only ONE author before (Leigh Bardugo at BEA 2015) and otherwise saw Sarah J. Maas at a book event (didn’t officially meet her though). So, naturally, I’m highlighting 10 authors I would loooove to meet.
I am so mad at myself for forgetting TJR on my list!! I love her and would so want to meet her. Stephanie Perkins is another one because I love the Anna books so much. But yeah I would like to meet them all on your list!!
Yess! They’re all so great 🙂
I think lots of people are going to have JK Rowling on their lists today! I have her on mine! If I went beyond 10, I’d probably also choose Taylor Jenkins Reid – I just started reading her books, and I am hooked.
She’s SO GREAT!
From your list, I’ve met Sarah Dessen, Morgan Matson, and Stephanie Perkins! All some of my favorite contemporary writers, and all lovely interactions, but I especially loved meeting Morgan. Her event was so much fun! I would love to meet Jenny Han, Emery Lord, and , of course, J.K. Rowling someday. (Also, GoF is my favorite Harry Potter book, too!)
Ahh I’m so jealous!! (My favorite HP was previously Prisoner of Azkaban but that changed slightly during my reread!)
JK Rowling is on my list too. Sarah Dessen seems so down to earth with her tweets so I bet she’d be super fun to meet!
Right?! I would love it. Idols.
Kieran Scott AKA Kate Brian– I’d like to meet either or BOTH. I love her books under either name 🙂 Also, Sarah Dessen is so cool. I hope you can meet her. Same with Sara Shepard– very down to Earth.
Haha same here! Both names have been great to me 😉 I loooove Sara Shepard! Those two really got me addicting to long YA series back in the day.
I would love to meet Sarah Dessen too! I’ve missed a few opportunities, but maybe I can make it to an event if she tours this summer. I hope you get to meet all of these eventually.
I hope she comes around here at some point! I don’t see many book events in the northeast 🙁
There are so many authors I want to read from your list, Lauren! Obviously JKR is one of them, but I also want to meet 80% of your list! Second Chance Summer is also my favorite Morgan Matson book 🙂
