Top Ten Authors I’m Dying To Meet

Top Ten Authors I’m Dying To Meet

March 28, 2017 Posted by angelreads Features, Top Ten Tuesday 15 Comments

TTT - Authors Dying to Meet

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone join as you please. This week’s topic is Top Ten Authors I’m Dying To Meet

Living in Australia has a downfall for book lovers – it’s too far for most authors to travel. I’ve met a heap of Aussie authors and even some international including David Levithan and Sarah J Mass. In saying this here is my list of authors that I cannot wait to meet and I hope that it’s soon. These are in no particular order – except maybe for the first one.

Cassandra Clare: Now I don’t this one should be a surprise to most of you. Cassie Clare has to be one of my favourite authors at the moment. She came to Australia last year and I was unable to aff0rd travelling interstate. I hope that one day it will happen.

Richelle Mead: Mead has been one of my favourite authors for a long time. Her books are what brought me to YA – and I have never looked back. The last time she was here was before I even picked her books up and before I was into blogger.

J.K Rowling: Again another author that I don’t think you will be surprised with. Harry Potter has been with me my whole life and to meet the person that created that, who shaped my life. It would be an experience that I cannot even begin to explain.

V.E Schwab: This is an only a new to me author. Obvious she has been around for a while, but I’ve just started to read her books and I love them. Plus I love her on social media.

Katie McGarry:  Is one of my favourite contemporary authors. I’ve read every single one of her books and to meet her would be amazing. Plus my younger sister has also loved her books – it’s something that we can do together.

Rebecca Yarros: I’ve been reading Rebecca Yarros books for 2-3 years and I love them. She is one of the authors that introduced me into NA and I love it. I’ve read most of her books now and I cannot wait for more.

Angie Thomas: This is a new favourite author for me. I mean yes I’ve only read The Hate U Give – but it was brilliant. I want to meet the author behind this raw and real story, that tore me apart.

Heidi Heilig: The Girl from Everywhere was one of my favourite books last and I love was Heidi stands for on twitter and across her platforms. Again, I live on the other side of the world – so it’s hard sometimes.

Claudia Gray: Another author that helped me love YA. I recently read her new book Defy the Stars and really enjoyed and cannot wait to read some of her newer titles. As far as I know she hasn’t made her way to Australia – maybe one day.

Amy Tintera: I’ve been reading Amy’s books for a couple of years now and I just love then so much. Ruined was again one of my favourite books I read last year and I am so excited to read more from here.

And that is it for this week! Who are some of the authors that you are dying to meet? Do we share any of the same? Have you met some of the authors on my list? Let’s Chat!

    I love this! Cassie Clare would be amazing to meet, and I really hope you get to see her sometime soon! You obviously know who I’m dying to meet – V.E. SCHWAB! I’m totally saying that I met Angie Thomas though when I interviewed her. She was so lovely. WHY DO WE LIVE SO FAR AWAY FROM EVERYONE ELSE?! 😫

    Nice list! I’ve only read J.K. Rowling and Cassandra Clare, but I’d definitely love to meet Rowling – she’s just a goddess! I don’t think I’ve read enough by Clare to want to meet her yet (I’ve only read one by her).

    I love your list! I’ve met quite a few of these. Richelle Mead was actually my first book signing ever! Victoria and Claudia are really sweet. I’ve been to a Cassandra Clare signing too. It was so crowded! I hope you get to meet all of these. 🙂

    I just started “The Infernal Devices” series (and haven’t even read “The Mortal Instruments” yet) and I totally get it. Cassandra Clare would be so interesting to meet.

    Cassie Clare is so hard to meet. I met her at Yallfest and she was only able to sign two of my books. Great list! I hope you’re able to meet these authors soon. Especially Victoria Schwab. She is the best!!!

    Ahh it’s so nice to see Amy Tintera appreciation! I think her books are SO underrated and yet they’re entirely amazing?!? I think I’ve rated them all 5 stars so far.😂 I’m so excited for Ruined’s sequel this year eeeeep. And also YAS to Cassandra Clare, Angie Thomas, and VE Schwab. They are so incredible and admirable. HEROES.

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?

January was a really solid reading month. I read s January was a really solid reading month. I read some books that had been on my tbr for some time, reread a few things that peaked my interest. I also started a few new series. And just had a good time!
