The Gentle Giants of Ganymede | James P. Hogan

#sundayfunday a wee bit late

Husband used to edit a sci fi newsletter and I met a number of sci fi authors when we attended some conferences. The most memorable was James Hogan mainly because I read some of his books. Skipping the super technical stuff, his stories were amazing (like the tagged). Also met Gregory Benford and Brad Lineaweaver. Probably more but this was in the 1990s and my memory fades

I‘d like to meet Lisa See & James Rollins

BookmarkTavern Oh you are so lucky to have met Brian Jacques! 💖 I grew up on the Redwall books. Thank you for sharing! 2d

TieDyeDude @BookmarkTavern An absolute highlight of my youth. He was at our local mall. I remember he had a bandage on his hand from signing. He was so nice; spent much longer than I expected talking with my mom and I. Such a sweet man. 2d

I got to meet Samantha Shannon (Priory of the Orange Tree, The Bone Season) about a year ago. It was the coolest thing ever and my first time meeting an author. The tour was two states away and my best friend and I drove through a snow storm to meet her. #sundayfunday

I was a bit starstruck when I met AS Byatt and Brian Stephenson. I‘ve met a few others at signings, but the coolest experience was attending a writing retreat AT the home of Elizabeth Berg. She hosted 10 women in her home and cooked for us, led writing exercises, talked about our writing and gave us feedback. A top experience. I‘d love to chat with Ann Patchett, Sue Monk Kidd, and Louise Penny.

The Idiot Girls' Action-Adventure Club: True Tales from a Magnificent and Clumsy Life | Laurie Notaro

#SundayFunday @BookmarkTavern

I have (sorta) two:
1. I never met him, but Charles Shulz called me when I wrote him, asking if he'd sell me one of his comics to give to my mom for her 50th birthday (she was a PEANUTS fanatic). He called me long distance on his dime and gave me one of his strips for FREE, even paying to ship it to me (see pic above). He said I wrote a heckofa letter. 🤩 #2 is ⬇️.

dabbe 2. I had AP English with the tagged author, Lauria Notaro (she's like a female Dave Barry). I should have known she's be a humorist because one day in class I dared to ask what a “nymph“omaniac was (we were studying nymphs in mythology). She piped up loudly for all to hear: “Denise, you of all people should know what that means.“ 😳 3d

vivastory That's amazing that Schulz did that. What an incredible person! 3d

Bookwomble Fantastic story about Mr Schulz - and the comic strip he sent you was a cute one, too 😊🐶🐤 3d

I‘ve met Simon Van Booy, Ann Patchett, Lisa Genova, and Barbara Claypole White for book signings (plus a few I don‘t recall! Sadly.)

I have also had a delightful twitter exchange with David Mitchell. I suppose I could have tagged one of his books. The last one I read was the Thousand Autumns of Jacob deZoet.

RobES I met Sarah Perry, 'The Essex Serpent' and 'Melmoth'. I went to a Q&A she did in Belfast just after the release of 'Melmoth' and she was as wonderful and erudite as you'd imagine ... I have a bit of a girl crush tbh... She said she liked my jumper lol 💗 3d

BookmarkTavern How fun! Thanks for posting! 3d
