Wow.. tough. Lol. Kind of makes me feel bad sometimes listing my faves, because I feel like I'm always leaving off someone. :P

Okay. No particular order. :)



Melissa Marr
Richelle Mead
Ilsa J. Bick
Laini Taylor
Neil Gaiman
R.J. Anderson
William Shakespeare
Stephen King
Maria V. Snyder
Julie Kagawa

They're all so inspiring and I love them. It's my dream to meet and hug every one of the authors on this top ten, too. LOL. ( Well, I can't hug Shakespeare obviously, but you get my point :p )

Of course I'd also include J.R.R. Tolkien, J.K. Rowling, and Suzanne Collins... but I figured those were pretty obvious choices from me anyway. And tbh, I don't think they'd be in my top ten. Their books might be (LoTR/The Hobbit, Harry Potter series, The Hunger Games trilogy), but I haven't read much of their other work to say that they would be as favorite authors to be in this particular list. :)
