Top Ten Tuesday: 9/18/12 - Top Ten Bookish People You Want To Meet (Authors, Bloggers, Etc)

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. This meme was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!

Each week we will post a new Top Ten list complete with one of our bloggers’ answers. Everyone is welcome to join. All we ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND post a comment on our post with a link to your Top Ten Tuesday post to share with us and all those who are participating. If you don't have a blog, just post your answers as a comment.

• Nora Roberts - It would be nice to meet the author that I practically read only her books for 2 years before I got into blogging.

I (Yara) have been very blessed or lucky depends how you see it. I have met quite a few authors and bloggers in these last 2 years that I began blogging. I might have mentioned them again in the list but that doesn't mean I wouldn't mind seeing everyone again. I love our bookish community!!!!!
