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.

April was a very good reading month for me, especi April was a very good reading month for me, especially after last month. I had some really fantastic reads in April. I did do a lot of re-reading this month but I had such blast. I re-read Caught Up and Play Along and the first 4 books in the Ironside Academy series. 📚

I read some books that I’ve been waiting for including the new book from Kels and Denise Stone, as well as the new Tessa Hale. ✨

Overall it was such a good month, lots of binge reading series and starting on some new authors. I’m so excited to see what May brings. 🖤

What was your favourite book that you read in April?

IT’S RACE WEEK! 🏎️ If you didn’t know al IT’S RACE WEEK! 🏎️

If you didn’t know already I love F1, have ever since I was younger and decided that this year it would be fun to combined my love for F1 and reading together. 📚

After a week off we are back at it. We are in Miami this week’s and things are only just heating up. This week I’m reading Falling Off the Cliff  Kanitha P.

…

Formula 1 legend in the making and rising star Thiago Valencia is chasing redemption as well as his second World Champion title. With a tarnished reputation and an undetermined future in F1 that hangs by a terribly loose thread, he can’t afford to lose his seat. Thiago is ready to do anything to redeem himself and erase his past mistakes. When a mysterious woman intrudes on his private party in Monte Carlo, he is certain the universe has brought his polar opposite into his life as salvation. He is sunshine, she is moonlight; he is a bright star and she is a moonbeam.

Destiny takes the wheel, steering Kamari into Thiago’s orbit, but her open disdain and closely guarded heart warn her to stay away. Enchanted by her charms, Thiago is intent on melting her freezing barriers and tearing down the walls shielding her heart.

When Kamari agrees to help him save his future by being his fake girlfriend, the unexpected happens, triggered by a game of lies, secrets and desire.

As they plunge towards the finish line, the race veers offtrack and neither of them are ready to fall off the cliff.
… 

How Race Week Reads Will Work 

On Monday of race week I’ll announce the book I’ll be reading for the week, then throughout the week I’ll be posting stories and my thoughts. And then on Sunday, race day my review and final thoughts will go up.

A little late but I am finally getting to share Ra A little late but I am finally getting to share Race 5’s Race Week Reads review. This week I read, Downforce (Pit Lane #1) by Hannah Lily.

🏎️ Review 🏎️

I had so much fun reading this book. I knew I was in for a ride as soon as I started Downforce. It was entertaining, fun, and I just had a good time reading it. And while it does explore some heavy topics, I don’t think it took away from the fun nature of the book.

Right from the start, we can see the tension between F1 Presenter, Olivia Fraser and F1 Driver, Jonah Scott. And while silly at times, it was fun seeing them interact together. Both really didn’t like each other. They both had said things about and to one another that sometimes it caused chaos. And I was here for it.

I did find that at times, just silly things happened. I am not a massive rom-com reader, and there was a lot of falling into one another, and arguments stemmed from nothing. This is honestly just because I don’t like these types of scenes, but it didn’t really make me dislike the book at all.

I loved the whole road trip aspect of the book, it’s different from other F1 books I’ve read so far this year and just made for some interesting banter and lust. I do wish that the road trip was a little longer than it was because I did feel like the romance moved pretty quickly here, but again, it didn’t really affect how much I was enjoying the book.

The romance was this combination of being slow burn and full of angst right at the start, to the road trip happening and then bam. But I loved it, though. The banter between Olivia and Jonah was fantastic. I loved seeing them grow not only with one another but with themselves as well.

Overall, I had a great time reading Downforce and will be continuing the series for sure when the other books come out. The romance was angsty and just felt right. The found family aspect really worked well here, and the F1 aspects were pretty okay. Not the best I’ve seen, but not the worst either. If you are looking for a fun read that has a great romance and a little rom-comy, then pick this one up.
I’ve already had a pretty amazing reading year. I’ve already had a pretty amazing reading year. There have been so many books that I have enjoyed but there are some that I have just loved. 🖤

I didn’t realise before I put this post together that all of these books are from authors I’ve read and loved before. There hasn’t been a Rebecca Yarros book that I haven’t rated under 4 Stars. Elsie Silver is just making me love everything that she writes. Wild and Wrangled may be my favourite in the series. 📖

Three rereads also made it to this list. Binding 13 still makes me gasp and smile all at the same time. And Caught Up and Play Along just hit every time. 📚

I’ve honestly had a great year so far and since making this post a few more books I’ve read I’ve ended up loving. It’s going to be hard to pick my favourites at the end of the year that is for sure. ✨

What books have you loved reading this year? Are any books that made my list on yours? Let me know!
