Author’s I’d like to meet/loved meeting
I have a confession to make; I think I’ve
only met one author in my entire
life. There were several opportunities for me to meet some of my favourite
authors over the past few years, however I was always either busy/something
important came up on the day. Examples
include Becca Fitzpatrick, Lauren Oliver, Gayle Forman and Abbi Glines. This list will
therefore be comprised of ONE author I’ve met & 5 I’d love to meet one day!
*RACHEL
VINCENT*
I had the opportunity to meet Rachel
Vincent during the Harlequin Summit held earlier this year in February. Rachel
was so lovely and absolutely hilarious! I lost count of the number of times I
cracked up when she talked to us :)
*J.K
ROWLING*
Harry Potter is my all-time favourite
series<3 It would be such an honour to meet J.K Rowling in person!
*KATIE
MCGARRY*
Katie
McGarry’s books are an automatic buy for me. Pushing The Limits was definitely
my favourite book of 2012 and I also loved Dare You To so needless to say, I’d
LOVE to meet Katie in real life! Hopefully she’ll visit Australia one day!<3
*GAYLE
FORMAN*
Unfortunately,
I missed Gayle’s event in Sydney earlier this year :( Gayle’s meet and greet in
Sydney was on the same day as my friend’s mock court trial and since I’d
promised I’d go support my friend, I wasn’t able to attend the event. It’s a
pity I missed it, but hopefully there’ll be another chance for me to meet Gayle
in the future!
*JULIE
KAGAWA*
I’ve
been a fan of Julie's since her debut novel The Iron King came out in 2010! Ash
quickly became my favourite book boyfriend of all time and I’d like nothing
more than to meet the mastermind behind the creation of one of my favourite
characters ever<3 Hopefully Julie will visit Australia one day as well! :)
*COLLEEN HOOVER*
I LOVEEEEED Slammed and Point of Retreat!!!
(So did my friends when I lent the books to them!!) Colleen’s my favourite NA
author so I hope I get to meet her and have all my books signed one day!
What about you? Who are some of the authors you've met or who are you dying to meet? :)
I'd love to meet J.K. Rowling and Gayle Forman! I'm glad you were able to meet Rachel Vincent. She's always really fun online, so I'm not surprised that she had you laughing. :) Susan Ee, Suzanne Collins and Melina Marchetta would make my list too. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Shirley,
ReplyDeleteI think I saw you at PTA live last Monday, am I right? I saw your header on display and I thought to myself "OMG I love that blog, I'd love to meet Shirley". But unfortunatley we didn't get a chance to meet. I finished The Iron King just last week and loved it to pieces, meeting Julie Kagawa is definatley something I'd love. Awesome Post, thanks for sharing.

DeleteHaha hopefully :) Your header was on display and I recognised it immediately. I'm looking forward to be a regular commenter.
DeleteGreat list and such a cute pic of you and Rachel Vincent! I'd love to meet J.K. Rowling, too! That would be amazing!
ReplyDeleteI missed out on Gayle too (but I can't complain because I was at BEA!) but I would love to meet her! Let's hope she comes back soon :)
ReplyDeleteGah, I live so far away from all my favorite authors that I've never met them. But I hope to, one day. Especially JK Rowling. Woot =D
