Tuesday, 12 May 2015



Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by bloggers at The Broke and the BookishThis week I've  picked the top ten authors I would love to meet one day.

1. Rachael Craw

Rachael is so lovely on Twitter and really connects with her readers, plus Spark (as I've said before) is AMAZING. Hopefully she'll come to Australia one day!

2. Jessica L. Brooks

Jessica is one of THE nicest authors I know, and was the first one I really 'met' through goodreads. I've had the privilege of beta-reading some of her novels, and my name is even in the acknowledgements section! She's all the way from the US, but if I ever go over there I'd love to meet her.

3. Lara Morgan

Lara Morgan is the first Australian YA author I read books from, and her Rosie Black Chronicles still remains as my all-time favourite sci-fi series. I hope she writes more books like them one day!

4. Rebecca James


70343331313162522341147


Rebecca is the queen of Aussie YA psychological thriller in my opinion, and I'd love the chance to see her and get my books signed!

5. Ginger Scott

Ginger Scott's NA contemporary novels have always wowed me with their very real characters and fantastic storylines. I'd love to meet her!

6. Markus Zusak

Simply because The Book Thief is heartbreaking, and still one of my absolute top favourite YA historical fiction pieces.

7. Marie Rutkoski

I have all the praise for The Winner's Curse series so far and can't wait to see where it goes from here - I'd love the opportunity to meet Marie Rutkoski since I'm a big fan!

8. Philippa Gregory

Amazing author and historian. Plus she wrote The White Queen which then became one of my favourite period dramas.

9. Megan Abbott


14062212959646018656036

I really admire Abbott's work - her captivating writing style, and even more addictive plots. You can't deny her talent as a writer. 

10. Marisha Pessl

18770398Marisha Pessl

Marisha Pessl is quite new to my 'authors who have written mind-blowing books' list, but after reading Night Film now I'd really love to meet her and talk about the book!

What do you think of my choices? Who would you love to meet?

  2. Is it bad that I've only read from Marie Rutkoski from this list? But I would LOVE to meet her. The Winner's Curse was brilliant, ad she seems like such a sweetheart. :)

    1. Yes! She has such a wonderful personality which would make a writing talk by her so entertaining I agree :) The Book Thief made me sob my heart out...and that sort of emotion is something that Markus Zusack has been able to achieve for so many readers, which is really something special.
