Authors I Would Dearly Love To Meet!

“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you’re all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn’t happen much, though.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

This Tuesday’s topic is about authors! The creators of magic, the holder of keys to other worlds, and most importantly– fellow bookworms who just happen to have stories in them that they want to share through writing.

If you want another description of them:

WRITER CAN MEAN…
• storyteller
• quiet world changer
• master of the dark arts
• socially awkward piece of bread
• imagination queen
• not listening to you because thinking of murder and cakes
• saw you writing with a nice pen and it's ours now we have taken it

Here are the authors I want to ask bazillion questions to, shake hands with, stare at them a little too long, shake their hands again, maybe cry a little and then proceed to faint.

J.K. Rowling

I’d apparate to her (if only I can), and ask her if my letter got lost on its way.

Sarah J. Maas

My current queen. ‘Mad for Maas’ is an apt description when it comes to her books.

Marie Lu

I feel like she’s a colorful person and I mean it in a good way. I mean Warcross is, so she must be too? Not to mention she’s so beautiful.

Leigh Bardugo

I’ve only read Six of Crows Duology but it won’t stop me from meeting her: the mother of the heart-brekker.

Cassandra Clare

All hail the mother of Shadowhunters. I’d love to ask where to look for my very own Herondale and if I should get a Mnemosyne tattoo. Or where to look for even just a bit of Magnus Bane’s awesomeness, but I think she’d say I already have it.

Stephenie Meyer

Thank you for the vampire sparkles. I love Alice! The Host was such a surprise too.

Rick Riordan

Mythology has never been more fun! I wanted to meet the author who wrote about Seaweed Brain and ask if I could be adopted by Poseidon. I’d take being a harpy too if it’s Ella and her flawless memory.

Dan Brown

I just want to shake his hands. That’s all. Maybe get an autograph too while whisper-asking: are all the stories true?
