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?

  1. Good call on Margaret Mitchell!

    And, yeah . . . Ayn Rand? Quirky.

  2. Love your description for J.K. Rowling. It would be fun to meet Margaret Mitchell too. Though I'd probably want to know more about Rhett and the ending of that book.

  4. Amazing list! I would love to meet Charlotte Bronte, and ask her why on EARTH she burned Emily's other novel... and if she retained any of it to tell to me!

  5. I love me some Charlotte Bronte -- Jane Eyre is one of my favorite books of all time, and I'm totally bummed that the most recent film adaptation didn't show at the movie theaters near where I live. Nice list!
