Top Ten Tuesday: Authors I Would Die to Meet

This week's list is the top ten authors you would dies to meet. They can be living or dead. There are several authors I would absolutely love to meet!

1.  Meg Cabot (When I started this list, I had no idea that Meg would be coming to Oklahoma. But she is! I'll be meeting her on Thursday--I'm so excited!)

2. Charlotte Bronte. I love love love Jane Eyre and I would love to ask Charlotte questions about her challenges on being published. 

3. Stephanie Perkins. A&FK is a favorite, and I've heard Stephanie is extremely funny.

4. JK Rowling. Two words: HARRY POTTER.

5.  Louise Rennison. When I met Maureen Johnson (who would have been on the list had I had not had the chance to meet her already), she talked a bit about Rennison and her story. Gah, pretty sure I would just listen to her talk for the British accent.

6. Jennifer Donnelly. Revolution was such an amazing book, and it's one I recommend to everyone. I would love to met Donnelly and ask her about the book.

7. Robin Benway. I've been reading her blog for a while, and she just sounds fabulous--just like Audrey Wait!

8. Rachel Cohn and David Levithan. The pair behind Dash & Lily, Nick & Norah and Naomi & Eli. 

9. Ayn Rand. Pretty sure I wouldn't understand anything coming out of her mouth, but I'd still love to met her.

10. Margaret Mitchell. Who wouldn't want to meet the woman who created Scarlett O'Hara?

What's in Your Beach Bag?

Summer reading means rereading my favorites. I rarely ever reread things fall-spring, but in the summer I look forward to visiting my favorite characters and settings :) And not just YA, but also some adult fiction and nonfiction.

1. Rereading my favorite books by my favorite authors. Lots of Meg Cabot, Sarah Dessen, Jenny Han and I will definitely be rereading Stephanie Perkins this summer as well.

       

2. Adult fiction and non fiction books that take place in Europe. I'm pretty much obsessed with Europe, some of my favorites are:

    

3. Christian fiction. I'm not sure why, but I only ever read Christian fiction during the summer. And only two authors. But every summer I pull these off the library shelf.

     

What are some of your summer reads? Anything you read every year?
