Hello, all!!!
*Pushy waves*
Welcome to the latest installment of our new Meme/Feature (whatever it will turn out to be..): Super 6 Sundays!
Super Six Sunday is an original bookish meme hosted at Bewitched Bookworms and inspired by “Top Ten Tuesday” from The Broke and The Bookish . Check out the weekly schedule of themes here.
Super 6 Authors I’ve L-O-V-E-D Meeting!
I’m super excited about this week’s topic because getting to meet my favorite authors is one of my favorite parts of 1) being a blogger and 2) living near Anderson’s Bookshop!!
Holly Black was just as sweet and cool in person as I imagined when I read her books and I L-O-V-E-D her hair!
I had such a fangirl moment when I ran into Jane O’Connor at BEA this year! I love her Fancy Nancy series (as do my daughters) and she’s so kind, what a great moment!!
Kami and Margi were the first authors I met at Andersons and, little did I know then, what a lucky experience meeting them would be!
Anna is simply made of win. Really, she ROCKED her apparence at Anderson’s last year and is just as sly witted and snarky awesome in person as her characters are in her books!
Anther fantastic moment from BEA this year was meeting Anna Jarzab. I adored her book, All Unquiet Things, so I was beyond stoked to meet her and get Tandem signed!
It’s no secret we Bookworms love both Katie and Julie! They’re both phenomenal writers and genuinely amazing people. I met them both for the first time last year at BEA and seeing them again this year was one of the best parts of BEA for me!!
So those are MY top 6 authors that I’ve met since I started blogging. What about you?
Do you get to meet authors where you live? Who were your favs? Or, if they don’t swing by your neck of the woods that often, who would you most want to meet?
Let us know!

SO MANY FANTASTIC AUTHORS!! YAY!! BEA is really the only place I’ve met authors because no one comes through Columbia…unless it’s by accident. I don’t know why. Columbia’s actually listed as one of the top book buying cities (via Amazon. Probably a reason we don’t have any Indies.).

Hi Pushy! I love this meme post! I love meeting authors! I went to Anderson’s once when I was in Chicago many years ago and loved the book shop. I love how it has so many author visits. (I met Claudia Gray and Andrea Cremer at a conference run by the store, such an incredible experience!)
Thats wonderful that you were able to meet so many awesome authors. I hope to meet Holly Black and Julie Kagawa someday too. Love the pictures!
My favorite personal author experience- hmm, have tea at Starbuck’s with Brigid Kemmerer last March.
Authors are certainly the best!

Wow! That is awesome that you have been able to meet so many authors! So much fun!
I haven’t been able to meet any authors in person, but I have spoken with a few online.

Love Katie and Julie! I really enjoyed meeting Stephanie Perkins and Gayle Forman. They were both very cool. I’d say Maggie Stiefvater has been my favorite though.
