Happy Tuesday, readers!
Who is excited for October? I can’t see to see what this month has in store for all of us! So many great releases are coming up, and I’m a ball of nerves.
Top Ten Tuesday, originally created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, is a weekly meme. For this week’s topic, we get to fangirl/boy over our favourite authors we’d love to meet. Oh God, this is not good. I have too many options and not a lot of room to fit them in. What have you done when you picked this prompt?!
I’m good. Not really. I’m I’m slightly calmer. Anyways. As a Canadian, I don’t always have the opportunity to meet my favourite authors. But, if the chance arises, I’d probably die if I met these ones:
Jay Kristoff
I’m a new fan of Kristoff. And even though I haven’t read a lot of (if not, most) of his work, I’d probably flip if I met him. The man is a literary genius. He reaches out to his dedicated followers, and I love that kind of interaction. And honestly, I want to see the height difference between us, given that I’m 5’2″ (and ¾).
V. E. Schwab
I have immense respect for Victoria. She isn’t afraid to discuss her disability and her struggles. And her writing brings such joy to my dark days.
Leigh Bardugo
My goth Queen—frankly, she’s a goddess—will be at the top of my list. I adore her. I admire her. And I respect her strength. She gave me Kaz, who has inspired me to fight my demons. And I can’t thank her enough.
Sarah J. Maas
I just want to talk about the Inner Circle boys with her and find dirty fanmade illustrations of them, then giggle like 10-year-old girls together. Odd? I don’t care. I can’t make this list without her on it. No dice.
Sabaa Tahir
I arrived late to the Sabaa train, but I was an instant fan. I adore her writing and her strong female leads. I don’t know what I’d say, but I’d love for the chance.
Kelley Armstrong
Okay, this list cannot be complete without a Canadian author. So here she is. Yes, I’ve met Kelley before. And I still remember the day. She’s the reason why I continue to blog and stick it out in publishing. I’d more than likely fangirl like I did before, but I might be more coherent. I doubt it though.
Aaaah, great post! I think I’d enjoy meeting Sabaa Tahir, too.

Those two are definitely the top 10 authors I need to see in my life time. I wouldn’t feel complete if I didn’t

Lucky! I was so excited to meet Maas when she came up to Canada, but people were lining up overnight just to see her. So I wasn’t able to.

I’ve only read The Illuminae Files, so not even a work that’s Kristoff’s and Kristoff’s alone but.. like.. I see a lot of his tweets and would LOVE to meet the guy one day. I just hope I read more of his books by then, haha!

I’m kind of dying to read that series. I know it’s not true Kristoff work. However, his Nevernight series is screaming at me right now.
He seems like an honest and funny author. You don’t always find that.

It’s still worth reading, haha. Hope you’ll pick it up someday! I only have Nevernight. Purposely didn’t buy Godsgrave yet because.. well.. if everyone’s right and I end up LOVING Nevernight, I’m going to switch my paperback for a hardcover and immediately buy the sequel in hardcover as well, haha.
Right? I remember reading his entire post explaining why Darkdawn would be postponed and that alone made me love the guy. Not many authors would take the time to thoroughly explain why certain decisions / adaptions are made.
