AUTHOR LOVE (#1): MARISSA MEYER

"Even in the future the story begins with Once upon a time."

WHY I LOVE HER?

Look at that face! She's adorable! She looks like Snow White and has seven published books. Coincidence? I don't think so...


The Lunar Chronicles it's just amazing, and one of my favorite series of all time. I have yet too read Stars Above, but I have read some of the short stories and I know I'm gonna love it.

All the characters in these series are really different from each other, but they connect so well that you can't help feeling that they're going to be friends for the rest of their lives. And you want to be part of those lives.

So if Marissa Meyers decides to write more books in these series, you better be sure I'm gonna buy the hell out them.


Heartless is one of my most anticipated books of this year. The young Queen of Hearts is not yet evil and wants to fall in love and be a baker? Yes, please. Give me now.

Fairytale retellings have quickly become one of my favorite genres to read about. So of course I want to read about a not yet villanous character written by the Queen of fairytale retellings.


A Tyranny of Petticoats sounds sooo good. A bunch of short stories about badass women written by badass women? Yes, of course I need it.

There are some great writers in this anthology, but Marissa Meyer, for me, raises above all of them. I can't wait to read the amazing words that once again have come from her mind.


And lastly, The Gatlon Trilogy. Even before this trilogy had a title, even before it had a summary, I saw in Goodreads: "Untitled. New series by Marissa Meyer.", and I was like: Click. Want to read.

I didn't even care what it was about. Maybe it was a collection of her gocery lists. Ok. Want. I really didn't care. Then we knew. Celebrity superheroes, villains and sidekicks. And two rival schools that creates them all. OMG. Is it 2017 yet?


So, dear Marissa Meyer, please, don't stop writing. Ever. We need the worlds you create in our lives. Thank you for your brain.

"One should never save cake for later when it can be eaten now."

"Maybe there isn’t such a thing as fate. Maybe it’s just the opportunities we’re given, and what we do with them. I’m beginning to think that maybe great, epic romances don’t just happen. We have to make them ourselves."
