Top 10 Bookish People I Want To Meet
This was a fun list to put together! It ranges from inspirations to authors that seem cool to the book blogging community as a whole. Here’s my list!
- J.K. Rowling- The Harry Potter books are my favorite books of all time, and I’d just love to meet her and thank her for sharing Harry’s story with the world.
- John Green. He seems like such a cool guy, and meeting him would be so fun.
- Stephen King. The last time I read his stuff on a regular basis was high school. But he comes up with some of the most interesting, strange ideas, and I’d love to know his inspiration for some of those ideas.
- Lani Diane Rich. I haven’t read any of her books, but I just started listening to her podcast, yesterday, and it seems like she would be fun to have a cup of coffee with.
- Laurie Halse Anderson. I’m a huge fan of Laurie Halse Anderson, and I just love her books. She’s just someone I really admire, and if I ever write a YA contemporary, it’s because of her!
- Alison Weir. I just love the books I’ve read by her, and being able to talk to her about Tudor history would be amazing. Her knowledge of Tudor history astounds me.
- Tahereh Mafi. She just seems so adorable and cool and she seems like someone I’d want to hang out with for a day.
- Joy Wilson. She’s the baker behind the Joy the Baker blog. She has a cookbook, out so that totally makes her bookish in my world I’d love to meet her, and I wouldn’t mind talking about totally unimportant important things. Or baking. Maybe unimportant but totally important things while baking!
- Erin Morgenstern. She just seems cool based on a couple of blog entries I’ve read over at her website. And The Night Circus originally started out as a novel written during National Novel Writing Month, so we could totally talk about that.
- And of course, I can’t leave out my fellow book bloggers! I honestly can’t pick who I want to meet the most, so I’m going with everyone!
Is there any particular author or other bookish person you’d like to meet?
Reading Books With Coffee 
So Tahereh Mafi — TOTALLY got to meet her this year and she is seriously so awesome and wonderful. Def a good pick! ALSO..Laurie Halse Anderson..SO SWEET and funny. And SUPER down to earth. LOVED her. I was dying to meet her. So good choices!!
Thanks! I’m so jealous you got to meet them! And it’s good to know they’re super cool.
yay NaNo! It’s coming up…soon! Eek!
I know! I have a really vague idea of what I want to do, so I need to get working on it!
I know I’m doing the sequal to last year’s NaNo, but I can’t decide if I want to tell it from Ansley’s PoV or from the new character’s PoV. Decisions, decisions!
It’s so hard to decide, which is why I probably end up winging it almost every single year.
