Top Ten Authors I'm Dying To Meet / Ten Authors I Can't Believe I've Met (some other "meeting authors" type spin you want to do)
Tamora Pierce.
Jennifer Crusie
Maria Dahvana Headley
Alexandra Bracken
Meg Cabot
Morgan Rhodes/ Michell Rowen
I love her books I only read 3 of her series and Falling Kingdom is my favorite!
Ruta Sepetys
I recently read Between Shades of Gray and it was super duper good. I cried like a baby. I still cry when I think about it, and I am sure if I meet her and talk about this book I will cry too.
Diana Gabaldon.
I love her Outlander books. I only read the first 2
And I have a few more authors I like, but I got tired of doing this post hahaha So I will post pictures of authors I meet when I went to TX to meet Allyson and another friend Betsy and we all went to this big book signing.
Melissa de la Cruz was sooooo nice and very friendly! I loved her!
John Cory Whaley was hilarious!
Laini Tayloy
Shannon Hale was super nice!
My daughter, Cecilia, loved her Monster High books so I brought them with me to have them signed and Allyson made that note for the picture!
Marcus Sedgwick
This signing was, I guess, for middle school kids I am pretty sure we were the only adults there
so he asked Allyson and I if we were librarians hahahaha, we were like " nah, we are just book lovers" hahaha

WOW! So many amazing authors; I'm jealous, Mariela! In which city was this book event? I would guess Austin, but I'm curious. I love author events; I wish I had access to more of them. Thanks for sharing these great photos!
ReplyDeleteI believe so, I know we drove like 3 hours to get there, I can't remember, this was a few years ago. I wish they do event like this in West Virginia :(
DeleteIt was in Houston! Though, they do have a big one in Austin every year, too.
DeleteOh my gosh! I totally forgot about Tamora Pierce! I LOVED her books!
ReplyDeleteNice list! Thanks for visiting my post.
ReplyDeleteShannon Hale IS super nice! Jason Reynolds was one of the nicest people I've meet too. Great list. I LOVE Braken's Passenger series SO MUCH!! Thanks for stopping by today.

Great list! I would love to meet Meg Cabot too. That's amazing that you've met so many authors!
ReplyDeleteMeg Cabot is absolutely hilarious at her events! I saw her a few years ago in Nashville. And Ruta is amazing and I am pretty sure if you started crying she would too lol!
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool that you've met so many authors!
ReplyDeleteAwesome that you were able to meet so many great authors!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! Alexandra Bracken and Morgan Rhodes are definitely on my wishlist as well :) And you've got to meet some amazing authors already as well, that's amazing!
ReplyDeleteWow! You've met a lot of authors!
ReplyDeleteWow Tamora Pierce has written more books than I realized. Gabaldon was in my neck of the woods a couple years ago she was speaking in the same town I was vacationing in. And I think Shannon Hale would be a riot, I've liked what I've read of hers.
ReplyDeleteOh man, I'm so jealous that you got to meet Rachel Hawkins! I love Rebel Belle and would absolutely love to meet her some day. I got to see Victoria Schwab speak at the Boston Teen Author Festival back in September which was nice. I was going to actually meet her, but the line for her signing was soooo long and I didn't feel like waiting, haha.
ReplyDeleteThat panel at the end looks amazing! What a great opportunity.
ReplyDeleteSo neat that you got to meet all these authors. Thank you for stopping by and commenting today.
ReplyDeleteAh! Tamora Pierce~!!! how awesome! I've met Alex Bracken, she is the sweetest!
ReplyDeleteWow! What an amazing list of authors you've met and want to meet. You're so lucky to have met so many. :-)
ReplyDeleteAhhh so amazed at all the lovely authors you've met!! Laini Taylor and VE Schwab though.!! *flails wildly*
ReplyDeleteYou have met some amazing awesome! I'd love to get to go to an event like that some day! :)
ReplyDeleteSo many awesome authors on your list. I hope you enjoyed meeting all of them.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you guys had a fabulous time!! I think it's hilarious that there weren't more adult readers there and that the one author was surprised you weren't librarians. But then again, I'm immersed in the book community, so adults who read young adult and middle school fiction aren't weird to me.
ReplyDeleteLaini Taylor looks like a rockstar!! love that hair :) I love big book signings when you get to meet a bunch of authors in one swoop!! SO FUN!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many amazing authors on your list - I'd love to meet Laini Taylor! Also, Ruta Sepetys is such a great choice, she'd be so interesting to chat with.
ReplyDeleteI've heard wonderful things about Ruta Septys- can't wait to try her out!
ReplyDeleteGreat list and awesome pictures. I love Laini Taylor's hair. You've have met some great authors.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh you have met SO many cool people! I met exactly 0 published authors. So jealous right now.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to meet Diana Gabaldon too! I have read the first 1 and a half of her books.
ReplyDeleteI bet Meg Cabot would be a fun author to meet! I really love her stories in film form (haven't any read any - I know, MY BAD!).
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for visiting Finding Wonderland. :)
You're so lucky that you've been able to meet so many authors! I really want to go to a convention: hopefully I'll be able to do that this year.
ReplyDeleteOOOOH! LAINI TAYLOR AND VICTORIA SCHWAB AND ANN BRASHARES AND VICTORIA SCOTT! What a lovely bunch of authors you've met and I REALLY HOPE I meet at least some of them someday!

Alexandra Bracken was a good pick. It's so cool that you got to meet Laini Taylor, her writing and her hair are both awesome. She helped give me the courage to dye my own hair!
