If You Could Meet One Author.....

It's Friday, folks!  Time to embrace the weekend and enjoy!  Are you reading a good book this weekend?


Book Blogger Hop is a weekly book hop hosted by Crazy for Books.  For this week her friend at Lori's Reading Corner is helping out by playing host.  You can catch the link here.  Be sure to visit other blogs on the list too and have fun!!

 “Who is the ONE author that you are DYING to meet?"


I am dismayed at having to choose only one author to meet.  There are so many whom I admire, like Stephen King, Agatha Christie, Michael Crichton, Danielle Steel (she's a writing machine, raised a lot of children, and wrote at night while they slept!), Marguerite Henry, Charlotte Bronte, and many more.  For some I would need a time travel machine to accomplish the task, so that's out of the question.  To narrow it down to one only, I'd have to say J.K. Rowling would be my pick. I have nothing but admiration and respect for this incredibly gifted author!  I love the rags to riches story, which makes her seem a little more down to earth.  I love that she is involved with charity, that she is open and friendly, and what a gift she has given this generation and generations to come!  Because of the Harry Potter series, many children have become avid readers, having discovered the magic within a book.  She weaves a spell-binding tale, within seven volumes, all of which I have read and re-read.  All her Harry Potter books have been made to film, the last of which will be released July 15th!  Are you standing in line for the midnight showing?  I plan to.  So there you have it.  The one author I would choose above all others, if given the opportunity to meet, J.K. Rowling.

This reminds me of the Harry Potter Marathon hosted by Giraffe Days  I need/want to get started on the first book....again. :)
