Authors I'd really love to meet in person...


From top left to bottom right:

Nick Hornby - The first novel I ever read in English was his About A Boy. Thanks for starting my passion for reading.

Haruki Murakami - Murakami writes weird but beautiful books. Would love to get to know a man with such an impact on the reading world.

Jonathan Safran Foer - I fell for Extremely Loud and Incredibliy Close. Is there more to say?

Carlos Ruiz Zafon - Of course I'd like to meet the author of my favorite book all time The Shadows of the Wind.

Margaret Atwood- Look at her. She is so awesome. I'm determined to read all of her books.

Siri Hustvedt - Never heard of her? Go read her book What I loved.

Jeffrey Eugenides - I lost myself in his epic Middlesex. I sure would like to take a closer look at him.

Jon Krakauer - His encounter with Mount Everest nearly pushed me off the cliff.

Banana Yoshimoto - Her books fascinate me. I sure would like to have a cup of tea with her in any Kitchen.

Zadie Smith - Her books have been most challenging reads language wise. And she has written On Beauty.


Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
