- Marissa Meyer (Why did I wait so long to start reading the Lunar Chronicles?)
- Sarah Jio (Goodnight June had everything I love in a book.)

- Joanna Rakoff (After reading her memoir, My Salinger Year, I feel like I know her.)
- Alan Bradley (Flavia de Luce is one of the best characters ever.)
- Charlie Lovett (I devoured The Bookman's Tale this summer, and it will not be long before I read his other books.)
