Hey Wishers!
Today I’m talking about some of my favorite authors. From YA contemporary to sci-fi, these are the voices that really stand out and inspire me:
Morgan Matson

Author of: Second Chance Summer, Amy and Roger’s Epic Detour, Since You’ve Been Gone, The Unexpected Everything.
My Favorite Book: Since You’ve Been Gone and The Unexpected Everything
What Makes Their Writing Stand Out: All her characters are relatable and the scenarios in her books are so much fun.
Have I Met Them? Yes, she was so sweet!
Marissa Meyer

Author of: The Lunar Chronicles series: Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and Winter. Her upcoming book, Heartless, comes out November 8th.
My Favorite Book: Cress
What Makes Their Writing Stand Out: The creativity! Her world in the Lunar Chronicles is so creative and interesting, and the way she binds all the fairytales together is amazing.
Have I Met Them? No, unfortunately not. But she is a part of the Fierce Reads Fall Tour, so I’m hoping to meet her then!
Lauren Oliver

Author of: Delirium trilogy, Before I Fall, Panic, Vanishing Girls, and Rooms
My Favorite Book: Before I Fall and Pandemonium
What Makes Their Writing Stand Out: Before I Fall is such an emotional book that really puts things in a perspective. I loved the romance in Delirium, as well.
Have I Met Them? Yes! Read about it here.
Danielle Paige
Author of: Dorothy Must Die series, and her upcoming novel Stealing Snow comes out September 20th.

My Favorite Book: Dorothy Must Die
What Makes Their Writing Stand Out: I have never read a book like Dorothy Must Die before. It’s such a complex, interesting reimagining of The Wizard of Oz.
Have I Met Them? No, but she’s coming near me for Barnes and Noble B-Fest, so I’m definitley going to meet her then!
Jenny Han
Author of: The Summer I Turned Pretty trilogy, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before,

P.S. I Still Love You, and the Burn for Burn trilogy (with Siobhan Vivian).
My Favorite Book: Fire with Fire and P.S. I Still Love You
What Makes Their Writing Stand Out: LARA JEAN AND PETER.
Have I Met Them? Yes! She was at one of Morgan Matson’s book events that I went to recently.
Rachel Hawkins

Author of: Rebel Belle series and Hex Hall trilogy.
My Favorite Book: Rebel Belle and Miss Mayhem
What Makes Their Writing Stand Out: Characters! Harper Price is so unique and hilarious, she always has me laughing. David and Asher are so swoon-worthy and I am in love with them.
Have I Met Them? No, I wish!
Richelle Mead

Author of: The Vampire Academy series, Bloodlines series, Soundless, The Glittering Court
My Favorite Book: The Vampire Academy and Bloodlines series
What Makes Their Writing Stand Out: Her style of writing has me flying through her books, and I am so in love with all of them. Her characters are perfect, too.
Have I Met Them? No đŸ˜¦
Kiera Cass

Author of: The Selection series and The Siren
My Favorite Book: The One
What Makes Their Writing Stand Out: I love all of her characters so much, especially America and Matson. She also comes up with some really unique names for her characters.
Have I Met Them? Yes!
Huntley Fitzpatrick

Author of: My Life Next Door, The Boy Most Likely To, and What I Thought Was True
My Favorite Book: My Life Next Door
What Makes Their Writing Stand Out: Huntley Fitzpatrick deals with relationships in an honest, relatable way that I haven’t seen in other YA books.
Have I Met Them? No
