Top Ten Tuesday: Authors I’ve Met & A Few I’d Like to Meet

Hello fellow bookworms!  It’s Tuesday and that means it is time for another Top Ten Tuesday post!

  What is TTT? TTT is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish.  Check out their blog for more info and to see upcoming themes.

This week’s theme is…

March 28: Top Ten Authors I’m Dying To Meet / Ten Authors I Can’t Believe I’ve Met  (some other “meeting authors” type spin you want to do)

Before 2016, I never attended an author/book event.  I never really knew it was a thing.  Now that I’ve attended a few events and book festivals, I’m hooked.  Over the past year, I’ve been very fortunate to meet some wonderful authors at events that were held near where I live.

Curious to see who I have met over the past year?  Keep reading to find out 🙂
