The Mortal Instruments Series
The Infernal Devices Series
The Dark Artifices (Upcoming) Series

Cool Beans:
On her website you can find a set of Tarot Cards that are Shadowhunter themed! Love, love, love! I would jump at the chance to meet her, as The Mortal Instruments Series is what made me fall in love with YA.

J.K. Rowling

Obviously, the Harry Potter series.

I don't think I really have to explain this one.

Veronica Rossi

Under the Never Sky series

Her Under the Never Sky series is one of my total favorites. Talk about book boyfriends.... Perry is mine. I would love to ask her questions on how she wrote such stunning characters.

Marissa Meyer

The Lunar Chronicles series

Starcrossed series
Worldwalker series

Mermaids: The Myth, Legends and Lore
The Only Tarot Book You'll Ever Need and more.

Corpus series
The Forbidden Wish (Upcoming)

#2
Suzanne Young
Author of:
The Program series
A Need So Beautiful series
Hotel Ruby (Upcoming)
Cool Beans:
I haven't read her work yet, but The Program series is high up on my list. Not only that, but Hotel Ruby has me just begging for it. I'd love to get a copy of it too.

Danielle Paige
Author of:
Dorothy Must Die series
Website: http://daniellempaige.tumblr.com/
Cool Beans:
I'm reading the first book in the Dorothy Must Die series now. And I'm already in love. As fairy-tale retellings go, I can already tell this will most likely be one of my favorites.
That's it for this week! Are any of these authors on your list?
I would love to meet Cassandra Clare - she has an amazing imagination! I have just ordered Dorothy Must Die and am reallylooking forward to it.
