There's a funny story about that. Tina, our friend and I where having lunch in this little corner and she walked right past us. I turned to them and ask was that Melissa de la Cruz. So when she came out the restroom (yes we ambush coming out the restroom) we ask to take a picture with her and she was very nice about it.
DeleteOh, Rachel Vincent. I never even thought of her but I love a lot of her books so yea, she'd be fun to meet!
ReplyDeleteHer stories are addictive!
DeleteLove Neal Shusterman, you should definitely try his Unwind series, it's so good. And Victoria Schwab's Shades of Magic series is the best!

DeleteI really liked your twist on this week's topic. The Distance Between Us sounds like such a good book. I have to agree with Barb. She'd be a very interesting author to meet.

I love that series!
DeleteGreat list! The only one whom I've read before is Melissa de la Cruz. But I've heard of all of them and a few of their books are on my TBR pile. Were you nervous meeting them?
ReplyDeleteIt was a lot of fun and she's really down to earth.
DeleteGreat list!
