Top Ten Tuesday, a concept started by The Broke and the Bookish, is a themed post that connects bloggers to bloggers, bloggers to readers, and readers to readers. Every Tuesday has a special topic, and this Tuesday is Top Ten Authors I Really Want to Meet.
I’m assuming this meant authors who are still alive today. That is why Charlotte Brontë and Jane Austen aren’t on this list. (That is the only reason why they are not on this list.) Those who are on the list are ones I’m dying to have a face-to-face conversation with. I want to take them out for coffee/tea/long islands and chat books, movies, music, history, travel, life. But I guess a short meet-and-greet in a signing line would be fine, too…
Rainbow Rowell
I’ve seen that you’ve been to my city so many times and yet, every single time, without a doubt, I’ve been working that day. Curses!
Stacey Lee
Thank you for writing Under a Painted Sky. Seriously.
Anne Blankman
And along that same vein of YA historical fiction: thank you for writing Prisoner of Night & Fog and Conspiracy of Blood & Smoke.
Megan Shepherd
Good thing I’m (hopefully) meeting you at BEA!
Kate Morton
Where in the world do you come up with these great stories?!
Juliet Marillier
Same to you – how do you do this? You make me fall in love with fantasy the way no author ever has.
JK Rowling
Because of reasons.
Jenny Han
I hear you’re fabulous. Good thing I’m (also hopefully) meeting you at BEA!
Sarah Dessen
Once again, you’re an author I narrowly missed meeting this month because of work. You are my go-to YA author, and it would be a pleasure to finally meet you.
Patricia Bracewell
I just want to pick your brain and chat English history with you. Can we do that? Please?
Honorable mentions: Jodi Picoult, Erin Morgenstern, Sara Raasch, Charles Finch, and Tana French
