Top Ten Tuesday - Top Ten Bookish People You Want To Meet


Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly book meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. I slacked off again, but here are the Top Ten Bookish People I Want To Meet.


1. R.L. Stine - There is no doubt in my mind that if I could meet him I would. Some of the first books I ever read were the Goosebumps books. I had the entire series once. He is a great writer. His books helped me create the crazy worlds in the stories I made up for my cousins when I was little.








2. Laura Ingalls Wilder - I know she isn't alive, but I loved her books. They are another series that I loved when I was growing up.









3. James Patterson - I started reading his Alex Cross series and fell in love with his writing. Maximum Ride, Women's Murder Club, and his newest book The Zoo have all drawn me in. I think he is an amazing author, and if he ever comes near my home I'll be begging for a signature.







4. Stephen King - He is brilliant. His books bring out everything scary, and I love that. He must have the greatest imagination. I would love to meet him.









5. JK Rowling - I would love to meet her!! She is so talented, and I can't wait for what she plans to write next.









6. Jean Craigehead George - Her books are amazing. I love all the Julie books, and the My Side of the Mountain books, too. I would have loved to have met her.











7. Gary Paulsen - He is yet another favorite author from my childhood. His Brian series was so great. I read them constantly.








8. S.C. Stephens - I love her books. She has so much talent, and I love that she started out as an independent author! I spread the word about her books everywhere. I hope that one day she does a book tour and makes her way south. I'll be lined up to meet her!

9. Nicky Charles - Another amazing independent author. Her books are so great and they are free on Barnes & Noble (hint hint). I would line up to meet her, too.


So...I have 9. I'm sure there are more, but these are who I came up with. These are probably 9 of my most favorite authors, and I would absolutely love meeting any one of them. Of course if I did I probably wouldn't know what to say, but still it would be really amazing! Which authors would you love to meet? Let me know in the comments below.

  4. Great list! I actually haven't read any Stine, King or Patterson. I will go hang my head in shame now. But I do imagine that they would be quite interesting to listen to.
    Thanks for stopping by my blog!

  6. I was seriously considering putting RL Stine on my list as well, but in the end I added Louis Sachar. Love RL, though. The Goosebumps series was a huge part of my childhood, and I was a Fearstreet fan as well.

  7. I would LOVE to meet RL Stine too! He didn't come to me, but he'd be a great one to meet. I grew up more with Fear Street than Goosebumps, but love him so much!
