Top Ten Authors I Would DIE to meet
1. J.K. Rowling: Um, yah, it’s J.K. Rowling. Who wouldn’t want to pick her mind? She’s clearly a genius.

2. Justina Chen Headley: ‘North of Beautiful’ is one of my favourite books ever, so I’d love to chat about the themes in that book. Maybe we could go geocaching!

3. Meg Cabot: Meg is one of only a few authors who I read in high school that I still read now. According to Goodreads I’ve read 44 of her books, and I own basically all of those. Meg is still the Queen of YA and she seems like such a fun, cool person.

4. Melina Marchetta: ‘Jellicoe Road’ = one of favourite books of all-time. Every book I’ve read by her is just inspiring, amazing, beyond description. So with that in mind? You gotta think an awesome conversation could arise.

5. Melissa Walker: Melissa seems ultra cool. She’s all fashion-y and smart and she writes some pretty incredible books. I would definitely want her to be my tour guide around Brooklyn.

6. Richelle Mead: Richelle is a new favourite author of mine. I was totally behind the times on the VA books (don’t judge books by their covers, everyone… although I still totally do), but they’re definitely one of my favourite series now.

7. Robin Jones Gunn: RJG is a Christian author and when I was growing up, her Christy Miller series was one of my favourites. I still re-read her tween series, and I loved how she brought the characters into college as well. Robin just seems like such a lovely woman.

8. Sarah Dessen: Sarah Dessen is one of my favourite authors ever. Contemporary YA is what I’ve been a fan of the longest, and when I discovered her books I was in awe. Her books are stunning… they’re so simple and fun, but they have that absolute depth to them as well. Plus Sarah as a person? We could totally talk ‘Friday Night Lights’ and ‘Gilmore Girls’ and all kinds of other awesome TV.

9. Stephanie Perkins: Stephanie was a librarian. She has ultra cool hair. She nerds out over stuff. She created Anna freaking Oliphant and Etienne St. Clair, YA crush extraordinaire. Can we be friends now please?

10. Suzanne Collins: So, she wrote that little book called 'The Hunger Games'. You probably haven’t heard of it. ;) Suzanne is all brilliant, making social commentary cool for teens (and people of all ages!) to read about. I would love to talk about all the political issues that make up the trilogy, as well as dish on what she’s working on next.
