Weekly Geeks #13 – Authors

Weekly Geeks is back after a little hiatus for moving and this weeks is a photo meme. To be specific, it’s an author photo meme. Here’s the details:

Using the meme-like list below, post photos of authors in response and ask your readers to guess your answers!

  1. Photos of your favorite author(s).
  2. Photo(s) of the author(s) of the book(s) you’re currently reading.
  3. Photo(s) of any author(s) you’ve met in person (even very briefly).
  4. A youtube of (an) author(s) you’ve heard speak.
  5. Any photo(s) you may have of yourself with an author.
  6. A photo of the author of the book you’ve most recently finished.
  7. Photos of the hottest author(s)!

I’m not going to do any duplicate authors, so I’m not going to include all of my favorites for example, but will only put up 3 for each category that I do. Can you guess who these are? Here are my pictures:

  1. Favorite Authors: Here are three authors I’ve been captivated by lately. Well, I shouldn’t say lately, but I do run out and buy their novels as soon as they hit the shelves.
  2. Currently Reading: If you don’t know who the first lady is then you’ve been under a rock. I’ve been hearing mixed reviews about her newest novel, so we’ll see what I think about it. The second lady has a novel out that has been stuck in my head for awhile. I finally got around to reading it. The third author is a favorite of my husbands and he’s been after me to try something of his. I’m trying to read Snow Crash, but there’s just something about that isn’t grabbing me just yet.
  3. Appearances: I been lucky enough to see these two (soon to be three) ladies this year. Both times my son went with me and he managed alright, better than my husband did for the second one. I’ve been having a lot of fun going to all of these appearances and I can’t wait for the next author to come to town. Edited: I added one more since I saw another author on 8/5/08
  4. Recently Finished Reading: There is just something about these authors that I’m liking. All three were new to me this year and I’ve only read two of their novels (well, one for the middle one), but all of them have kept me coming back to their books.

Can you guess who these are? I’ll be adding one more to the appearances section since I’m going to see an author tomorrow night, but this should get us started. I’ll post the answers in a couple of days. All photos are courtesy of the authors websites or Fantastic Fiction.

I am a 30-something SAHM with two adorable boys and a supportive husband who is very tolerant of my reading addiction. I love to read and easily go through about a dozen books a month – well I did before I had kids. Now, not so much. After my first son was born, I began to take my hobby of reviewing a little more serious and started Literary Escapism to help with my sanity. I love to discuss the fabulous novels I’ve read and meeting all the wonderful people in the book blogging community has been amazing.

  1. I haven’t read Snow Crash, but is that Neal Stephenson? Apart from that, the only one I do recognise is Stephenie Meyer. :)

  2. From your Favorites I see Keri Arthur. Currents I recognize Stephanie Meyer. Appearances I think may be Kim Harrison and Laurell K Hamilton (if so OMG I’m so jealous) and from Recents I recognize Jenna Black.
    Can’t wait to see your answers!
