Happy Top Ten Tuesday! Today’s theme is authors I’d love to meet! I am such an awkward person that I feel like I’d be a walking disaster around any author I met. I nearly fell over in the street when I walked past Brendan Kiely. I met Claire Legrand and could barely say hello without fainting. When an author so much as follows me on Twitter, I have some palpitations. But, for the sake of this prompt, let’s assume that I’d somehow be a charming and eloquent version of myself for once. 🙂
1️⃣ Jenn Bennett writes the most adorable YA romances and I would just love to meet her. 😭❤️
2️⃣ Krista & Becca Ritchie have written some of my favorite characters ever! How do they do it?! I need to ask!
3️⃣ R.S. Grey is my favorite new adult author and I just want to know if she’s as funny in person as she is in her books.
4️⃣ I would love to just have a conversation with Rainbow Rowell. It could be like three sentences and I’d be satisfied. I just have this feeling that she’d be super nice and super cool.
5️⃣ Libba Bray has been one of my favorite authors since I was in high school, so I would love to meet her someday!
6️⃣ Tana French, mostly so I can figure out once and for all whether she actually knows my mom’s boss.
7️⃣ Laura Steven is one of the funniest people I follow on Twitter and I feel like we could be best friends.
8️⃣ Jay Kristoff… do I really need to explain? I mean, do you follow him on Instagram? Or Twitter? Or anywhere? How much fun would he be???
9️⃣ I love everything that Becky Albertalli writes, so clearly I just need to meet her.
🔟 Shaun David Hutchinson just seems so down-to-earth, and he’s always talking on Twitter about music and I feel like we have similar tastes. Maybe we can go to a concert together.
Did you do your own Top Ten Tuesday post today? Feel free to leave your link and I’ll check out your post! Who are some authors you’d like to meet? Have you met any of these authors? Let’s talk in the comments!

Okay, let’s go find them
But really, would you believe that Jay Kristoff was at B&N here in March and I didn’t even know it because I hadn’t even read any of his books yet? I’m so disappointed in myself!

Road trip!
And don’t worry! I’m sure he’ll be back since where you live is pretty populous anyway.

R. S. Grey writes humor like nobody else. I love ber comedy scenes and one-liners. I also think she’d be funny in real life.

Laura Steven is so freaking lush, I’ve seen her in a couple of panels and she’s just as hilarious in real life.

I unfortunately missed out on Top 10 Tuesday but I loved reading everyone’s responses for this week’s topic. I recently got to meet Jenny Han at a book discussion a couple of weeks ago so I’m still kind of soaring as I am a HUGE fan of her series along with the movie premier on Netflix.
Adam Silvera is another one of my favorite knew authors so I think it would be super cool to meet him.
I love all your choices here and really enjoy your blog by the way! 😀
