If you could share any thoughts or feelings with authors, what would you like to tell them?
I think its wonderful how they authors have opened up through social networks such as twitter or facebook to their fans. It shows us they care and we know they are listening. — Yara at Once Upon a Twilight
Uhmm… something along the lines of"OMGiloveyourbooksiloveyourbooksiloveyouiloveyoupleasedon'tcallthepolice" — Audrey at holes In My brain
I love you. Even if I didn't like your book(s), I still admire you in ways you couldn't imagine. As a struggling writer, I understand the work that goes into it, and I applaud you for it. — Amanda, Another Book Junkie
Other then there should be a balance of action and detail and not to much or to little of one thing I'd want to say thank you for making unbelievable stories and thanks to all those who wrote books after harry potter was over you saved some bookworms there lol (right? I mean where would we be with out say the hunger games or twilight?)

To keep interacting with the fans. There is nothing better than feeling like an author is easy to talk to or approachable. Knowing that authors talk to fans on Twitter and blogs just makes me love them even more! — Missy at Two Readers Reviews
Thank you! Thank you for writing such wonderful stories and creating characters and worlds that are unforgettable. As a Graphic Designer I am always inspired by words and writing, which help me continue to love what I do. — Kristen at Seeing Night Reviews
I'd like to thank them for being amazing and writing some amazing books. — Darla at DforDarla's Definite Reads
I would like thank them for writing such amazing books. I honestly don't know what I'd be doing if I wasn't spending so much time reading. A book is the perfect escape from the daily life, and I couldn't thank 'em enough =) — Tynga at Tynga's Review
Come to Central PA more often, haha. — Jane at At Random
Books inspire. What you do is wonderful! I have an overactive imagination and I love how books can feed that. I love to put those feelings into words when I review a book and it really makes a blogger feel fantastic when an author comments on a review when they love it and how it makes the author feel. — Aimee at Coffee Table Press
Never ever take your book and reposition it in a bookstore display. If you really want a bookseller to display your book more prominently, all you need to do is be pleasant and polite to them. Talk about other people's books that you love. Speak to them as a fellow book-lover and defer to their expertise. Hand-selling and displaying your book is a good bookseller's reflex reaction to being treated respectfully by an author, and developing that trust organically rather than asking or forcing it will ensure a long-lasting loyalty! — Alethea at Read Now Sleep Later
Not only am I thankful for the immense enjoyment that their stories bring me, and envy their ability to write such wonderful books, but I have a strong appreciation for the level of interaction with fans that most of my favorite authors maintain thanks to blogs, Twitter, Facebook, and the like. — Jessica at Brief Book Reviews
Cut the profanity, vulgarity and graphic sex. — Shirley at My Bookshelf
If you can ever drop by a blog and say hello it makes our day!
- Jill at The O.W.L
There are a few authors who have produced some of the most amazing collections of words that have moved me so deeply, and I'd just like to tell them thank you. I'd like to thank every author for having the courage to share their work with readers, and for providing a common ground that has allowed this incredible book blogging community to come together. — Ashley at Book Labyrinth
It depends on the author. But mostly, if I like them, I want to tell them that I like them, and that I hope they keep writing awesome things so that I can keep reading awesome things. I want to tell them that I want to be like them someday, creating something that brings joy to others. I want to tell them that what they're doing is amazing, and that they're amazing for doing it. I also want to tell Mercedes Lackey that I want to follow in her footsteps, but I'm not sure if that counts as creepy or not! — Ria at Bibliotropic
Hahaha. Please excuse my sometimes immature, squealing, obsessed moments when I type in all CAPS and get all excited over your books. Oh, and no matter how well you end your books (even if everything is solved and complete and perfect), I always love sequels, no matter what. Hint hint, J.K. Rowling! — Lucia at iLive, iLaugh, iLove Books
Thank you for being so helpful in our efforts to spread the word about great books. — Rie at Mission to Read
THANK YOU!!!! Thank you for all the hard work and sweat and tears and hours of love you pour into your books! You give us a piece of you and there is no way to really ever show our appreciation properly. Just know that we love you all!: D — Lisa at BaffledBooks
Thank you for all the wonderful places you've taken me. I can't wait for our next adventure together. — Rhiannon at The Diary of a Bookworm
Hmmm, I think I mostly would just tell an author how much I loved their book, or just gush to them about their characters. If I were to actually be face to face with an author though I might just freeze up, it's like meeting a celebrity!: D — Ambur at Burning.x.Impossibly.x. Bright
Authors are the best. Seriously. Authors don't just write books that I enjoy, they help me and prepare me for situations, they entertain me, they make a bad day better. Just being able to"leave" for awhile and explore another persons life and even new worlds is so relaxing and absolutely incredible. — Katie at Books are Dreams
I appreciate the awesome support of bloggers from (most) authors. And with social media, I feel so close to the authors that I aspire to be like. — Kate at I Just Wanna Sit Here and Read!
If I could share thoughts and feelings with authors I would tell them how grateful I am for what they do. They do something that I would never be able to do in a million years and just that is pretty amazing. I also don't know what I would do if authors weren't there. It would mean I would have no way to loose myself in a story like I love doing so much. Basically, I want to say a BIG thank you for what they do. — Emilie at Emilie Book World
I think the main thing would be that, as an aspiring writer, I appreciate what they do. When an author nails a scene or a character, or a turn of phrase, it is incredibly satisfying to read. I often say"I want to be able to do THAT when I grow up" meaning"I hope I can pull that off one day." I also wish I could be blunt with some authors and tell them when they missed the mark. — Kim at Fresh Fish and Foolishness
I love reading your books and I love when you are so outgoing and supportive of book blogs! Thanks for all of the hard work! — Jackie at Teen Book Guide
