Top Ten Tuesday: Authors I'd Like to Meet
Today’s topic: Author’s I’d Love to Meet
We all have favorite authors. And while at times it can
seem intimidating, we all dream of meeting our authors who written the books we
love so much. That’s what today’s Top Ten Tuesday topic is all about. Today
I’ve listed ten authors that I would love to meet in person. Some are no longer
with us, while some are still very much alive and crafting stories to cherish.
Enjoy.
10: Rachel McMillan
I love Rachel’s novels. Edwardian bachelor women and
amateur sleuths in the 1930s? How could you not love that? It would be such fun
to meet her and talk about how great The
Blue Castle is.
9: Harper Lee
Can you imagine the stories she could tell? I would just
want to sit out on the front porch and listen to her.
8: Allison Pittman
Oh, but she is a good
writer. She’s got that ability to write historical fiction that works its way
into your heart and stays with you forever. I would love to meet her someday.
7: Jean Webster
Daddy-Long-Legs
is one of my favorite books ever. From the little I’ve read of her, Jean
Webster sounds like such a cool person. Oh, it would be so fun to travel back
to the early 1900s and meet her!
6: Amber Holcomb (Stokes)
Amber is an indie author whom I’ve come to consider a
friend. I’ve enjoyed reading Austen with her and our friend Julie. I think that
Amber is a wonderful author and a really sweet person who would be such fun to
meet.
5: Jane Austen
You can’t not love Jane Austen. I would so love to go
back in time to Regency England and meet her and listen to her witty
observations.
4: Melody Carlson
I’ve been reading Melody Carlson’s books for a long time.
She’s written in such a wide variety and these days I love reading her
historical fiction. It would be pretty neat to meet one of the authors that
inspired me to write.
3: Charlotte Brontë
Charlotte Brontë is one of my favorite authors. She was such a good
writer. And while her life wasn’t as adventurous as some, she still had a
fascinating life. She would be an incredible person to meet.
2: Jen Turano
If she is anywhere near as funny as her characters are, I
think Ms. Jen Turano would be a blast to meet.
1: L.M. Montgomery
While it would be incredibly intimidating to meet my
favorite author, I would love to spend a day in Prince Edward Island with her.
She was so talented, so smart, and could make anything sound beautiful.
Who are some authors you would love to meet? Have you
