Top 10 Authors I’d Like to See on a Reality Show
It’s Top 10 Tuesday (hosted at The Broke and the Bookish) and the topic is:
Ahahaha. The authors would debate on plot structure and whether vampires are still cool. And drink lots of tea. And type. THRILLING, but I would still totally watch that show.
Let’s start with the obvious: Maureen Johnson.
The woman has made a name for herself with her fabulous books, but also by being a total whackjob (I say it with love) on Twitter. She’d bring the entertainment FOR SURE.
Same for Tahereh Mafi. She makes me laugh. Add it Kirsten Hubbard because she’s just so darn pretty.
And let’s get J.K. Rowling in there. Who says we can’t? I’m the Casting Director God in this Top 10 Tuesday, and I do as I please. Don’t tell me you don’t want to know what she’s REALLY like!
Okay, I need some boys. Hmm. Well, David Levithan, obvs. Oh, you thought I’d say John Green, didn’t you? Well, he can come too. We need the star power to get viewers. But David, he seems so nice and shy. But who knows what will come out when people DO stop being polite…
Can LC please be on my show too? She’s an author! It’s legit. What reality show is complete without Lauren Conrad, aka my style icon I love her.
I need a house mama to sort of just roll her eyes at the antics…but who is hilarious too…which is obviously going to be Rachel Caine. She’s the best.
Oh, I need some boys. I’m trying to think of the male counterpart to LC and failing. You need a frat boy like Max Tucker or something, but no way would he be invited on my reality show. Who is the frat boy of YA?! HELP!
Well…um…failing all else…Rick Riordan, c’mon down!
Hmm, last but not least, let’s invite Beth Revis on the show. I saw her at a bookstore event once and was like “What? Who knew she was so hilarious?”
Okay, phew done. Now, if only it could actually happen!

About Me
I read. A lot. Mostly whatever YA novels the library has on hold for me that week. Sometimes grown-up books if my book club makes me.

HAHA when I was at YALLFest, Beth Revis had the hotel room next to mine and they were staying up all night telling ghost stories or something and just going crazy. IT WAS GREAT.
I wholeheartedly approve of this list.

I would watch this Real World cast so hard it is not even funny. I’ve only been following Tahereh Mafi for about a week on Twitter, but I seriously question why I didn’t earlier because she makes me die of laughter every single day.
This is a fantastic list. This needs to happen somehow.

RACHEL CAINE AS HOUSE MOMMA. I think this is hilarious. And YES on Maureen Johnson’s whackjobness. I’ve never read anything by her, but her tweets are sufficiently entertaining.

I did something very similar, only more BigBrother style than Real World (can’t believe I forgot about that show!). Tahereh is SO great in person. I met her at a book signing, and she was awesome!

I love the Real World Idea! And I completely agree with some of your authors, though others I’m not familiar with. I’ll have to check them out.
