1Jenny Colgan: Since I read her first book, I have been convinced that Jenny Colgan and I should be friends. Her characters love baking and books, and she is a strong supporter of teachers.
2-5 Booktube Besties: Amanda @TheCurlyReader, Krista @BooksAndJams, Sarah @SarahsNightstand and Lindsey @lindseyslittlelibrary4300. I love their individual channels, and especially enjoy their Christmas book exchange videos.
6 Rick Riordan I love his sense of humor and would love to delve into his knowledge of mythology.
7 & 8 Jane Austen and Laura Ingalls Wilder- I tried to stick to living people, but couldn’t leave these two off the list
9 Oprah- Even though she’s not directly in the book business, her book club did so much to promote reading
10 John Newberry and Randolph Caldecott- I would love to hear their thoughts on the winners of the two most significant awards in children’s literature
