Follow Friday (#18)

Follow Friday is a fun way for bloggers to find new blogger friends!  It's hosted by Rachel at Parajunkee's View, and it's such an awesome idea!  
Our Feature this week is...
The Bloggers @ We Fancy Books
We Fancy Books
And our question:
"Name 3 Authors That You Would Love To Sit Down And Spend An Hour Or A Meal With Just Talking About Either Their Books Or Get Advice On Writing From?"
Oooh, that's a hard one.  I think saying: every author I've ever read and whose book I adored is cheating, right?  Ok, seriously...
Party One:
  • J.K. Rowling: Now, how could I not meet J.K.?  She is the most amazing author, the one who truly got me addicted to magic.  She's made me laugh, cry, scream and sit on the edge of my seat.  Thought, if I met her for an hour, I might just sit there, staring.  Or ask her for more infomation on what happened after the big battle, about the Weasleys...  And ask her how she came up with such an incredible, amazing, fantastic book.
  • Richelle Mead: Rose Hathaway is my favourite heroine, and Dimitri Belikov is just, well, wow.  I love her Vampire Academy series to pieces.  So if I met her, I'd ask how she came up with such amazing characters.  And how much Rose would be in Bloodlines.  And tell her she's awesome.
  • Sophie McKenzie: I love her books!  She's one of my favourite action author, plus she's great at romance too!  I'd love to know what she's planning next, what's going to happen in Sister, Missing.  And how she has writing that is beautiful, but never slows down the pace.
Party Two:
  • Cassandra Clare: Again, I love her!  The Mortal Instruments is one of my favourite series.  I want to know everything about the books she's planning, and how she manages to make the most suspenseful moment suddenly hilarious with one of her characters' snarky comments.  I love her!
  • Suzanne Collins: Ok, I LOVE the Hunger Games trilogy.  I am in awe of Suzanne Collins' mind.  She's genius.  I'd want to know where she got her inspiration from.  And what she's planning next.
  • Julie Kagawa: I am currently in love with the Iron Fey series.  Once against: genuis.  I want to know where she got the idea from.  'Cause, let's face it, how many of us have come up with Faeries like hers?  They're unique.  I love her books.  :)
Yeah, ok, I know that's cheating.  But I could have gone onto THREE parties easily.  Jane Austen, Shakespeare, Terry Pratchett, Beth Revis, Alyxandra Harvey, Anthony Horowitz, Charles Dickens, Bram Stoker, Joss Stirling....  I'm stopping now.

Oops.  How is it I always manage to go way over the limit?  If you think about it, it's pretty impressive really.  :D

Well, if you've found me through FF, drop a link.  If not: what three authors would you most like to meet?

Oh, before I go, when I reach 200 followers, I'm going to hold a giveaway!  So pop by to have a chance of winning!  :D

Have a great weekend!
