Top Ten Tuesday: 10 Authors I’d Love to Invite Over for Thanksgiving Dinner
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Top Ten Tuesday has been one of my favorite memes ever since I started blogging, so huge thanks to Jana for taking over the hosting duties!
This week’s TTT topic is a Thanksgiving freebie so I decided to go with 10 Authors I’d Love to Invite Over for Thanksgiving Dinner. I just think this would be such an entertaining group to hang out with and eat, drink, and be merry. Not only would it be fun to chat with each of them while we chow down on our Thanksgiving feast, but it would also be a hoot to watch them interact with each other. Unless my usual holiday meal, I don’t think any topics of conversation would be off limits. This is also a good mix of my favorites, as well as some of my mom and sister’s favorites so I think it would be a fabulous evening for us all.

Such an interesting topic. I’d be too intimidated to invite my favourite authors for dinner, but if I did, Stephen King and Margaret Atwood would definitely be on my list. Also, can I raise the dead? Because my Thanksgiving dinner wouldn’t be complete without Ray Bradbury.
Bradbury would be a great choice!
Yes, I’d want to eat Thanksgiving dinner with all of these authors, too. What a conversation that would be. 🙂
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
Right? I think it would be so much fun!
Absolutely. 🙂
Wow, I love this list! Big “yes” to Hillary, Michelle and J.K., and Stephen King! And Katherine Arden and Victoria are both amazing speakers, they would provide the entertainment😊
Thanks! I think it would be a pretty fun time for all. 🙂
Great spin on this week’s topic! I’d love to sit and have a chat with Michelle Obama, she always seems like such a cool, intelligent lady.
Thanks!
What a fantastic list. If it’s alright I will join you. I shall bring pies, lots of pies.
Absolutely! The more book loving people, the merrier. 🙂
I love your take on this topic! I would LOVE to have several of these authors at my Thanksgiving, especially Rowling and Michelle Obama!
Thanks! 🙂
Ah this is fun! I would definitely invite JK Rowling and Becky Albertalli too!
I think they both would be so much fun!
I totally agree with Hillary, Michelle, J.K., and Victoria. Fun idea for a topic! I’m sure there would be loads of great conversations.
I think so too! 🙂
Do you have room at your table for one more? I promise I’ll only listen.
Sure! The more book loving people, the merrier. 🙂
What a fun idea! I’d *love* to see all of these people interact. I can’t imagine how entertaining those conversations would be with such an intelligent and exciting group of people. I feel like Michelle Obama would be a particular delight, and I’d love to hear from Margaret Atwood.
Right? I love watching interviews with both Obama and Atwood so I’d love to hear them in a more casual setting.
I would die to meet Michelle Obama!!!
Right? She is such a fun and inspiring person!
Great list, Suzanne! I’d be in on many of these authors for dinner! I’d add Alice Munro, Elizabeth Berg and Jane Austen. Ooooh, I would love so much to have a glass of wine with Michelle Obama and JK Rowling. 😛
Alice Munro is a great choice!
I’d invited much of the same. Or, creators in general just to pick their minds a bit and figure out their process, what makes them tick, etc etc. And then blow off steam a little bit and just have a good, fun night. Your list is great! And I really love your topic of choice, it’s fun to think about!
Thanks!
Can I come to your Thanksgiving? I’d probably be too intimidated to say anything, but I’d like to hear what this group would say. I’ve read books from almost all of these authors.
I think the more bookish peeps, the merrier! And I’d probably be the same way. Watching and listening and too awestruck to say much, lol.
Love this choice of topics! I would be thrilled to have most of these authors over for Thanksgiving dinner. 🙂
It would be a good time, for sure!
Great list! I’d love to see Hillary and Michelle together. J.K. Rowling would be awesome, too!
Thanks!
Oh my gosh, you’re right- just t osit back and see THAT conversation play out. Would be amazing??!? Rowling and Martin together, plus King… and Obama? And Clinton? Wow.
Right? I’d especially love to see Martin and Rowling interact.
Great post! I think my dad would invite George R.R. Martin over just to ask him when the next Game of Thrones book comes out. XD Happy Thanksgiving!
LOL! That is a question I would definitely ask as well!
Oh, I like what you did with this week’s TTT, Suzanne! I think every blogger would probably invade your dinner as well for company like this!
The more the merrier!
Great list, some of my favorites are on here 🙂
Thanks!
This sounds like such a fun group! I definitely think it would be an fun evening, and entertaining just listening to them interacting with eachother 🙂
I think so too! 🙂
