What authors have you met and where?
I met Emery Lord at TLA in 2016. AND IT WAS GLORIOUS! I <3 you Emery!
I met Renee Adhieh at last year's TLA and she's just as gorgeous in person just as she is in pictures!
I met Marie Lu as well at TLA last year!
I also FINALLY met Miranda Kenneally! After YEARS of talking on Twitter and being on countless blog tours with her, I FINALLY met her. And unfortunately, I STILL didn't get to take her out for Mexican food and margaritas smh
I met Caleb Zane Huetter when I was went to Tweens Read this year. And I really had fun. And it made it even better that his book was so great and so funny and SO CHRISTMAS lol
This was also from TLA last year! I FINALLY met Heather Demetrios and finally saw Nicola Yoon again.
This was literally one of the best days of my life haha I "accidentally" met Nicola Yoon by trying to take a picture of her while she was passing by. She saw me trying to take a selfie and hopped in it and Y'ALL....... I. DIED.
I don't even remember how long ago this was, (right before the release of Cress) but it was such an amazing feeling! I met Marissa Meyer at a Montgomery County Book Festival in like 2014/2015.
These were all the authors I met in 2016 at BEA. That's Jay Kristoff, Melissa de la Cruz, Maggie Stiefvater, Nicola Yoon, Adam Silvera, and Audrey Coulthurst.
The next few I met at Romantic Times 2015
I'd met her before, but it's always a pleasure to see Jennifer Armentrout!
I FINALLY met Queen of Realistic Fiction, Morgan Matson! If you look closely, you can still see the tears in my eyes that I tried to hurry and wipe away lol
I met Abbi Glines!
AND KASIE WEST!!!!
AND QUEEN OF CONTEMPS, Stephanie freakin Perkins! (Again, if you look closely you can see the tears in my eyes that I hurriedly tried to wipe away before the picture was taken lol)
I went to Houston Book Rave. I don't remember what year it was, but that year it was on my birthday and it was the first time I was able to meet any of the authors. This one was Rachel Vincent!
And Victoria Scott who is PERFECT.
And this was when I first met Jennifer Armentrout. She signed Aiden to me as a birthday present because she liked my tiara! And let me tell you, that was the best thing I never knew I needed lol
Me and David Levithan and Alex Gino. (OMGGGG!) Me and Marissa Meyer again.
Me and Adam Silvera and Emery Lord!
Me and Samantha Mabry and Goldy Moldavsky!
So, there's my answer....
I've met more, like Julie Murphy and some others from Texas, but didn't get pictures with them :(
I'm going to TLA in Dallas in about 2 months, and I hope to get so many more!
