Authors on my "I Sure Hope I Get to Meet Them One Day" List

I've seen some bloggers with a list of authors they'd like to meet and they cross off the list as they meet them.  So I thought it would be fun to write my own list and also keep track of the ones I've had the honor to meet already.


Authors I've Met:

• Elizabeth Gilbert
• Ally Carter
• Maggie Stiefvater
• Tera Lynn Childs
• Rachel Hawkins
• Joy Preble

Authors I Want To Meet:

• Suzanne Collins
• Sarah Addison Allen
• Stephanie Perkins
• Scott Westerfeld
• Kiersten White
• Becca Fitzpatrick
• Andrea Cremer
• Beth Revis
• Richelle Mead
• Rick Riordan
• Bree Despain
• Sarah Rees Brenan
• Carrie Ryan
• Shannon Hale
• Anna Godberson
• Elana Johnson
• Jennifer Shirk
• Kimberly Derting

And of course I'd jump at the chance to meet JK Rowling (and probably Stephenie Meyer--I mean, why not?), but I consider this a near impossibility, so... not going on the list. 

Obviously, as I keep reading this list will get longer, but so far, these are my front runners. 

What about you?  Anyone high up on your I Sure Hope I Get to Meet Them One Day list?
