Feature and follow Friday (#8)

 
Hosted by the lovely ladies Parajunkee and Allison Can Read

Q: What is one thing you wish you could tell your favorite author? 

 

What would I say to them? Probably something like:

 

Um, "Hi, I love you... please don't run away?!"

 

I could see that happening in my moment of panic!  Seriously though, I would want to convey to them how truly special they are.  To me they are as famous as a superstar and as important as any role model.  I would want them to know that though everyone is not going to always love their book(s), that I like them and that I am better for having read their work!


While you're here don't forget to enter all the great giveaways listed on the right... especially the one I've provided below (INT) ;)

    BWA HA HA HA HA!! "Please don't run away!" (I'd probably have to say that as I'm jumping up and down and hugging them!)

    Stop by and see my TGIF / Follow Friday! (It includes a giveaway!)

    Lol that's okay, they're probably just as nerve-wracked about the whole thing as their audience is. Writers are solitary creatures by nature.

    Hopping through. Authors are my rock stars. And I love that most of them are really approachable.

    I agree with Alison! They are rock stars, gods and goddesses. Sigh. I wish I could meet 'em before I die. Happy Friday! :)

    Yep, that totally sounds like me as well and pretty much sums up all my conversations with people i look up to.
    But, they mostly run away.

    I bet an author would love to hear that you are better for having read their books! What a wonderful thing to say... and I know what you mean!

    Like fakesteph said, I think authors would love to hear that! And I think I know what you mean. Next to making me feel better, books have given me lots of insight.. They made me grow up a little, and I'm so grateful for that.
