Top Ten Bookish People I Want to Meet


This week's topic is all about the bookish people I want to meet. They could be bloggers, authors, characters, etc. I have a feeling it's going to be hard to keep this list down to just 10 people, so you might find me cheating a little bit! 

1. My Broke and Bookish Crew
I have been writing at The Broke and the Bookish for over 2 years now, and I have only met Kimberly! And I almost met Daisy when I was in Holland over the summer. I got extremely sick, though, and spent the day I was supposed to have lunch with her in bed with pneumonia. So, I want to meet alllll of them! Jamie, Lori, Daisy (we need to go shopping for sparkly things!), Jen, Julia, Kelly, Paula, Tahleen, and Bridget. Girls, we need a huge getaway. Like a cruise or something. 

2. Alexa of Alexa Loves Books
I adore this girl! We've had fun discussing books and life... and I designed her blog for her, which was way fun. She's one of my best clients ever. And we have the same kind of taste in books! Plus, she's one of the sweetest people ever. 

3. Estelle of Rather be Reading
I met Magan at ALA, which was so much fun! I adore Estelle. She's so much fun to talk books with, plus her reviews are amazingly well done and her vlogs are very fun to watch. I just know we'd be great buds with lots to talk about! 

4. Tracey Garvis Graves, author of On the Island
Tracey and I have become great friends over time as her book went from self-published, to Penguin published, to MGM movie rights and beyond. She's an extremely nice person, and I think we'd get along wonderfully! 

5. Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games
The movie version just did not do it for me. I want to meet the Katniss from the book and ask her all about her life. Her story is fascinating. 

6. Mandee from Vegan YA Nerds 
I love Mandee! She's so sweet and so much fun to talk to. I want her to teach me all the yummy vegan recipes too!

7. Sam from Incarnate
Seeing as how he has been reincarnated so many times, I'd love to sit down and talk with him about the evolution of the world. Plus, he's got so much life experience. I'd love some advice!

8. Lauren Oliver, author of the Delirium Trilogy
She seems awesome, and like such an amazingly funny person! I LOVE the Delirium trilogy, and would love to hear her talk all about the development of the story, the characters, and how she plans to end it all with the final book!

We've chatted on Twitter many times, and I know she and I would get along SO well! 

10. YOU.
Hey, you're awesome! And I LOVE it when you stop by my blog! I know we'd have so much fun chatting about books and bookish things.

So, which bookish people do you hope to meet someday? Link me up and I'll come visit!

  3. Aww, I'm so sad we didn't get to meet in May! :( A get-together with all the girls (and Alexa and Magan and Estelle) would be so much fun!! Maybe sometime next year I'll have saved enough money to afford the flight to the US so we can make this happen! :)
    Or we could stick to the other plan of you and Alexa coming to Paris so we can all shop for sparkly things and cute dresses together :D

    I'd love to meet Katniss and Sam as well!
