Top Ten Tuesday: Authors I'd REALLY like to meet

hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

I get tongue-tied when I think about the idea of meeting authors.  I know they are human beings but it still makes me a little nervous.  I mean I'd want to tell them exactly how much their books mean to me and how great I think they are.  I want to come away from an experience like that thinking okay I wasn't a crazy weird fan, but a semi-normal human being talking to another human being about their job and maybe other things.  I don't know.  I feel like I get excited about authors the way some people get excited about Taylor Swift or Drake.  I'm just really into books.

1. J.K. Rowling
2. John Green
3. Rainbow Rowell
4. Marissa Meyer
5. Marie Lu
6. Kate DiCamillo
7. Maureen Johnson
8. Matt Fraction
9. Neil Gaiman
10. Maggie Stiefvater (I can never spell her name right the first time.)

      Meeting J.K. Rowling is an ultimate life goal for me and I honestly have no idea what I would say to her, but I know that it would be something incoherent about how she changed my life.

    Okay. First, brownie points to that Taylor Swift mention. Next, I'm totally on board with you on the getting-tongue-tied thingy because duh. But, really, I srsly want to meet John Green and Rainbow Rowell. They're two of my heroes!

      It would be thrilling to pass by any of those people. I imagine myself being unable to comprehend anything but the fact that Neil Gaiman walked by for a solid minute. lol. :)
