TweetBased on the Broke and the Bookish Weekly meme for May 12, here are my favourite books by authors I would love to meet: living and deceased!
-
Avalon High
Meg Cabot
Loved this book as a young girl and it definitely started my obsession with King Arthur and Arthurian Legend.

-
Hamlet ( Folger Library Shakespeare)
William Shakespeare
My favourite Shakespearean drama. I love the cynical Hamlet and it is one of my favourite plays to see live!
2 / 13
-
The Hobbit
J.R.R. Tolkien
I've never read a Tolkien novel because the sheer size of them terrifies me, but I love his world building and hope to one day read them all.

Pride and Prejudice
Jane Austen
One of the most influential female writers of all time, Austen wrote many great, timeless romances.

-
Great Expectations (Dover Thrift Editions)
Charles Dickens
I enjoyed this book a lot more than I ever expected; especially as I had to read it for school!
5 / 13
-
Oliver Twist (Dover Thrift Editions)
Charles Dickens
I've never read the actual book but I have seen the play and various movie adaptions. Love the story!

Sherlock Holmes: The Ultimate Collection (Illustrated)
Arthur Conan Doyle
Arguably the greatest detective of all time, Sherlock's influence on popular culture hasn't diminished in a hundred years.

Wait for You
J. Lynn
While I love Armentrout's YA novels, she really impressed me with her New Adult romances. I can't wait to finish the rest of this series!
8 / 13
-
The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Angel / Clockwork Prince / Clockwork Princess
Cassandra Clare
I didn't think I would love a series more than The Mortal Instruments but you can't be a great steampunk prequel when it comes to Clare's work!
9 / 13
-
Wondrous Strange (Wondrous Strange Trilogy Book 1)
Lesley Livingston
Love the blending of faeries and Shakespeare. One of my all time favourite series!

-
Victoria and the Rogue
Meg Cabot
I've read and reread this book so many times it's not even funny! I think it's what got me interested in romance novels, especially historical romance!
11 / 13
-
Divergent (Divergent Series)
Veronica Roth
I appreciate Roth's willingness to put her characters through anything and take risks. Not very many authors do and I can't wait to see what she has in store.

A Midsummer Night's Dream (Folger Shakespeare Library)
William Shakespeare
My favourite Shakespearean comedy! I love the mixing of faeries and hi-jinks and nothing beats seeing this play live!
