Top Ten Bookish People I'd Like to Meet

Top Ten Bookish People I'd Like to Meet

1. Stephanie Meyer.  I'm just fascinated by her characters.  I would love to pick her head about Edward and Jacob, who cares how she wrote her novels, just give me more Edward and Jacob.  I'm just dying to know what she's writing next and when.

 2.  Francine Rivers. I have read everything she's ever written and I think she is both creative and classic.  She went from writing Adult romance to Christian fiction and I would love to ask her how she made the transition.

3. James Patterson.  I haven't really read much of his fiction, but I'm incredibly fascinated by his career.  I would love to find out how he advanced and what keeps him motivated.  The man has sold and written more fiction than almost any other author alive.

4. Nicholas Sparks.  His books are incredibly successful and I just haven't read very much about him.  I think it would be interesting to find out how he writes and where he comes up with his characters.

   

5. Robert Pattinson. I know most people are going to think this was my dumbest choice, but other bloggers added people that were considered "bookish," like Dolly Parton and Tim Gunn, so here is a bookish person I am dying to meet.  Not only do I want to meet him because he is incredibly good looking, but I would love to talk to him about books.  He is known as a bookworm in the Hollywood world and he picks unusual titles, such as The Heart is a Lonely Hunter and Ticket to Ride.

6. Jane Austen. I know she's dead, but a cup of tea with the beautiful Austen would be fascinating.  I can't even imagine the topics.  Where did she come up with Mr. Darcy and was he based on someone she knew or completely fictional.  I would have so many good questions.

7. Nina Garcia.  Not only is she "bookish," but she runs Marie Claire Magazine.  I would love to talk books, fashion, and then I would beg her for a job.

8. Suzanne Collins.  Not only has she written The Hunger Games trilogy, one of my top ten favorite books, but she's also written for television.  I've always wanted to try writing a script.  Maybe she would be able to give me some pointers if I actually got to meet her.

9. William Shakespeare.  The man was a genius.  He was a poet and a playwright, but there has always been much controversy over his work.  I would love to ask him if he stole any of his ideas.  Who doesn't do that anymore?  The man never played by the rules and I would love to discuss how he wrote and who he really loved . . . 

10. Beth Moore.  She has always been an inspiration to me.  She writes Bible studies for Living Proof Ministries and her words have been more powerful in my life than anything else I have ever read, besides the Bible.  Not only do I want to meet her, but I wish she could be my best friend.

So, now that I've written my top ten bookish people I would like to meet, leave me some comments on who you are dying to meet that is "bookish."  If you want to look at more lists like this, you can find them on http://brokeandbookish.blogspot.com/.
