Top 10 Tuesday – Authors I Want to Meet

I’ve seen this meme around the blog-o-sphere lately and this week I just couldn’t resist.  Please visit The Broke and the Bookish blog for details on how to participate.

I’m going to break my group into dinner party groups and you’re invited! First…

Fantasy Writers “No Stew for You!” Dinner

I have to admit that the majority of my ten authors fall into this category. I have become a big Fantasy reader in the last few years so this is where we are.

Drinks: Craft Beers, Apricot Brandy

Dinner: Garlic and herb crusted Capon (ask George), corn chowder, baked acorn squash, roasted chestnuts, crunchy sourdough loaves,  honey butter, raspberry preserves

Dessert: Lemon cakes, turkish delight, honey cakes

Guests of Honor:

 

 

 

 

 

Robin Hobb, George R. R. Martin, Brandon Sanderson

 

Patrick Rothfuss, Charlie N. Holmberg, J.K. Rowling

Admit it, you want to be my plus-one for this right? If you’ll help me wash dishes afterward you’re totally invited!

“Phenomenal Women” Lunch

We all want to sit around a table and jaw with these great literary women amirite?

Drinks: Mimosas & Margaritas

Lunch: Lobster salad, quiche lorraine, croissant,

Dessert: Carmelized pear, brie and honey tartine

(ok I’m not so good with a lunch menu)

Guests of Honor:

 

Lisa See, Amy Tan,

 

Diane Ackerman, Margaret Atwood

What a great lunch that would be. The wealth of life experience and insight that these women put into their books. I would love to be there just to listen in.

Well that’s my first try at Top 10 Tuesday. I hope you had fun. I know I did!
