Here are previous Smoke & Mirrors Top Ten Tuesday posts.
This meme was created by The Broke and the Bookish and hosted by that site until
January 2018 when That Artsy Reader Girl took on the hosting duties!
Today's theme for Top Ten Tuesday is Authors I Would Love to Meet!
Wow. Honestly, there are so many!
Although I have perhaps met more authors than I ever expected to be able to meet,
there are more I would love to have the opportunity to meet...
(Perhaps I'm just never satisfied! LOL)
I don't know if I can limit this list to ten or not...but here goes!
First and foremost, Janet Evanovich!
Her Stephanie Plum series is one of the silliest I've ever read,
but also one of my absolutely favorite and most entertaining ways to spend time!
The newest installment, Look Alive Twenty-Five, is due to be released November 13th!
That is a Tuesday. If at all possible, I will schedule myself off work for a day of vacation, head to my local bookstore that morning as soon as they open,
purchase my pre-ordered copy, and enjoy my afternoon!
I am certain to be laughing out loud many times as I read.
The only question is how many times and how loudly! :)
I cannot imagine being the person whose imagination works in ways
whereby you create Stephanie's world and all the very unique people and situations
contained therein! Pure genius! (IMHO) :)
I have been privileged to have met many of the authors who might otherwise
appear next on my list:
Garth Stein, Erica Bauermeister, Carol Cassella, Jennie Shortridge, Elizabeth Berg,
Marisa de los Santos, Laurie R. King, Terese Marie Mailhot, Roxane Gay, Junot Diaz,
AJ Finn, Lori Rader-Day, Annie Sullivan, Summer Heacock,
And I feel as if I've met others due to having spoken with them via Skype/telephone and/or extensive contact via email/social media: Andrea Busfield, W. Bruce Cameron.
But to continue with the list of those I would love to meet in the future:
Jacqueline Winspear (I love her Maisie Dobbs series!)
David Rosenfelt (I love his Andy Carpenter series!)
Alexander McCall Smith (I love his No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series,
Isabel Dalhousie series, and Corduroy Mansion series!)
Sarah Addison Allen (I love her magical realism!)
Kevin Kwan (I love those crazy rich Asians!)
Joyce Maynard (I loved Labor Day and The Good Daughters!)
Alafair Burke (I've loved all 10 of her books I have read!)
Susan Wittig Albert (I love her China Bayles series!)
Gennifer Choldenko (I adore her Al Capone at Alcatraz series!)
Sara Gruen (Water for Elephants--one of my all-time favorite books)
Emma Donoghue (Room was amazing!
Bill Clegg (I loved his debut, Did You Ever Have a Family!)
LaShonda Katrice Barnett (Jam on the Vine!)
Paula McClain (The Paris Wife and Circling the Sun!)
Penelope Lively (I loved Moon Tiger)
Anthony Doerr (All the Light We Cannot See...be still my heart!)
Susanna Kearsley (I've read two and need to read more!)
And if they were still alive: Kent Haruf and Sue Grafton
Trust me! I could add more--but time has run out!
Happy reading!
