Bookish People, book bloggers, Instagrammers, authors, and much more recently booktokers! We all have those we’d like to meet.
The ones who love similar books as us, cherish certain series, fangirl over the same authors, or just seem like really awesome dream friends. Perhaps even book characters!

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl where list lovers, book lovers, and everyone can share their top ten posts using the chosen bookish-themed topic of that week! Check out the list here for future topics: thatartsyreadergirl.com/top-ten-tuesday
There have been so many amazing authors and bloggers I’ve met in the last 10+ years of blogging and many more I hope to meet one day.
Bookish People I’d Like To Meet
I’ve already met Nicole once briefly at a book signing although I was shy and not as confident as I would be now. Her page brings me so much joy and I’d love to connect, especially as she’s also from Northern Ireland.
2 – Beth Barany
I’ve been working alongside Beth for nearly a year and every day she inspires and motivates me with the many different avenues of her creativity and knowledge of futurism and the bookish world.
3 – Paige Toon
Paige is my unicorn author whose books will always be a security blanket for me. I started reading her books when I was 16 and started with Chasing Daisy, now 29 years old I have grown, and gone through so much and her books have been there for me through it all.
4 – Keri Lynn on Tiktok
I’ve been following Keri for nearly a year now and honestly her videos are amazing and she seems so awesome!
5 – Natalie Anderson
This author has the ability to make me fall in love with a character in seconds and have such high expectations for romance in books.

6 – Katy from The Lux Series by Jennifer L Armentrout
7 – Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen –
8 – Shiraz from Diary of a Chav by Grace Dent
9 – Jana Oliver
I absolutely loved The Demon Trappers and it was the first book series to hook me in after Twilight and still a series I love and recommend.
10 – Emily Bronte/Jane Austen
Who wouldn’t want to meet the original authors who made us fall in love between the pages of books with the brooding man or whose books started us off with a bookish obsession?
Who are Bookish People You’d like to meet? Let me know below.

Jane Austen is a great pick! She would be super interesting to talk to.
Happy TTT!

I’m not familiar with many of the authors here but they all sound wonderful! And it would be so cool to meet Jane Austen!
I looked at cover models for today’s prompt because there are too many people to choose from!
I hope you do get a chance to meet the people who it would be possible to meet from your list (though I too would love to meet fictional characters and quite a few long dead authors!).

I hope there comes a time when you get the opportunity to meet these authors. It’s fun to meet people who write the books you read. I’ve been lucky enough to meet several authors.
I hope you get to meet all of them someday. Maybe we’ll one day have an app or something that lets us “meet” fictional characters! 🙂
