Top Ten Tuesday is all thanks to The Broke and the Bookish! This lovely header is thanks to APR's own Dani.
1. Laini Taylor -- thank you BEA16! I was a useless mess but I am super happy I got to meet her.
2. Leigh Bardugo -- at a blogger meet up, I got to discuss the awesomeness of our shared name and my hometown while drinking.
3. Marissa Meyer -- at the same blogger meet up, Marissa Meyer dropped by my table with Bekka and just chilled for a while. She's so nice!
4. Lauren Beukes - at BEA14, I was at the last of her signing line so I got to chat with her a little about her books.
5. Ryan Graudin -- BEA14 - another signing line so this was a quick meet but she made me very curious about her books.
6. Jay Kristoff - BEA16, again! He was easy to spot at least.
7. Sabaa Tahir -- this was a flyby as I was the SUPER LAST in her Torch line but very friendly and sad she ran out of books for everyone else.
8. Sharon Cameron -- one of my fellow Lady Knights had a meetup with this author in our hotel bar and we all hung out and drank... until jet lag claimed us.
9. Caleb Roehrig -- super funny and friendly at the Leigh/Marissa meet up!
10. Eoin Colfer -- he trolled me and Morgan and I am still not recovered.
Wow, that's such an awesome list! I've only officially met one author (Richard Kadrey) but I was in the same room, breathing the same air, as Stephen King so I count that. lol
ReplyDeleteha, well, BEA makes it easy. I've never been to an author event or signing because I don't drive and my anxiety makes me back out lol.
DeleteAnd that TOTALLY COUNTS.
WOW!! You have met so many! Go you! That's awesome! I feel like I'm too awkward to meet authors I admire. lol! I also have a ridiculous fear that a famous person that I really like will let me down when I meet them. I hear so many horror stories about celebrities being mean to their fans, and I'm afraid that will happen. lol Basically, I'm a crazy person. LOL
ReplyDeletewell that's only because I have gone to BEA two years. If I had not, my total would be.... zero. And I get that hesitation -- it's why I don't follow a lot of authors on twitter, etc. I don't want to find out they are terrible people! lol.
Deletehaha at least I'm not the only one then!
Deleteha definitely not! :)
