Meant to Be by Lauren Morrill – Blog Tour & Giveaway
YOU GUYS. Lauren Morrill is here on my blog today answering a fun question as part of the Meant to Be blog tour! I’m so excited because she’s so nice and her book ROCKS – I reviewed earlier today :)
And I’m giving away a copy of Meant to Be – internationally! Keep reading for all the deets :)
Amazon | Goodreads | Author Website Meant to be or not meant to be . . . that is the question.
Author Twitter | My ReviewIt’s one thing to fall head over heels into a puddle of hazelnut coffee, and quite another to fall for the—gasp—wrong guy. Straight-A junior Julia may be accident prone, but she’s queen of following rules and being prepared. That’s why she keeps a pencil sharpener in her purse and a pocket Shakespeare in her, well, pocket. And that’s also why she’s chosen Mark Bixford, her childhood crush, as her MTB (“meant to be”).
But this spring break, Julia’s rules are about to get defenestrated (SAT word: to be thrown from a window) when she’s partnered with her personal nemesis, class-clown Jason, on a school trip to London. After one wild party, Julia starts receiving romantic texts . . . from an unknown number! Jason promises to help discover the identity of her mysterious new suitor if she agrees to break a few rules along the way. And thus begins a wild goose chase through London, leading Julia closer and closer to the biggest surprise of all: true love.
Because sometimes the things you least expect are the most meant to be.
Lauren Morrill, author of Meant to Be
Lauren Morrill is on my blog today answering this question – In Meant to Be, Julia dreams of traveling back in time and meeting Shakespeare. What author, alive or dead, do you dream of visiting?
Here’s what Lauren has to say – “I want to have dinner with JK Rowling, partially because Harry Potter is so freaking unbelievable, but also because she’s sassy and strong. I’d love to get her perspective on writing and on life.”
Not going to lie, JK Rowling is definitely in my top five of authors I want to meet as well!

What author, alive or dead, do you dream of visiting?
I believe I would LOVE to visit with Stephanie Perkins and spend a weekend discussing romance and contemporary YA, eating baked goods, drinking coffee & visiting North Carolina. She seems like such an awesome person!
[Reply]
I’d like to meet John Green. I’m a huge fan & I haven’t had the chance to go to one of his signings yet.
[Reply]
I’d like to meet Melina Marchetta. She is my FAVORITE author. I have love all of her books, and I’d really just like to pick her brain about the Lumatere Chronicles and how she came up with a fabulous character like Thomas Mackee.
[Reply]
I’ d die to meet Edgar Allan Poe! I love his works!
[Reply]
There are just too many authors that I’d love to meet, so it’s hard to narrow this down. I’m going to have to go with Laini Taylor. Not only do I love DAUGHTER OF SMOKE & BONE (such a great book!), but after following her blog for some time now, I know that she’s just such a unique person. She’s so upbeat, colourful, and interesting. Plus, bonus points for having THE cutest little girl I think I’ve ever seen. :)
[Reply]
I think I would love to grab lunch with Lauren Weisberger.
[Reply]
I LOVE to meet Sarah Dessen! I love all of her books :)
[Reply]
I dream of visiting Jane Austen! My all-time favourite novel is Pride and Prejudice, so I’d just love to sit with her, have tea and talk about books/stories all day!
Also, J.K. Rowling would be AMAZING!
Thanks for the giveaway!
[Reply]
I would love to visit Carrie Ryan because I absolutely love her Forest of Hands and Teeth trilogy!
[Reply]
I would love to speak with JK Rowling. I want to know everything that is happening right now in HP land. Thanks for the giveaway!!
[Reply]
SARAH DESSEN! She is such a great writer and relates so well to teenagers. I have ALL her books!
[Reply]
I would love to meet Becca Fitzpatrick and Jennifer Rush. They are both very good authors! :)
Thank you for the giveaway! :D
[Reply]
That is a hard question. I think I will be too scared to talk when I stand in front of an author I like, haha. J.K Rowling would be awesome though!
[Reply]
I’d love to meet Alexander Dumas. I think he’s stories are just…wow :-)
[Reply]
JK Rowling :D
[Reply]
Jane Austen and Oscar Wilde, thank you for the giveaway!
[Reply]
I have to agree with Lauren — JK Rowling! But really, I have an extremely long wish list of authors that I’d love to meet. Stephanie Perkins was about 3 hours away from me this weekend and I didn’t get to go. I was so disappointed!!
[Reply]
Jane Austen!! :)
[Reply]
I would want to meet with JK Rowling.
[Reply]
I would love to go visit Jane Austen and ask her all sorts of questions, but mostly what/who really inspired her to write Mr. Darcy.
[Reply]
There’s so many I’d love to meet – Hunter S. Thompson, Jack Kerouac, Ayn Rand…any one of them would be awesome to meet.
[Reply]
John Green or Cassandra Clare. Hard choice!
[Reply]
JK and JLA are on the list! But I would say my great grandfather, who wrote poetry. I never got the chance to meet him, and he sounds like a pretty awesome guy. Thanks for the giveaway!
[Reply]
I would love to meet William Faulkner. Wierd, I know, but he is my favorite!
[Reply]
Jane Austen!
[Reply]
Sara Shepard. :)
[Reply]
Without a doubt, Louisa May Alcott. She’s my heroine! Not only did she write beautiful books, but she also volunteered as a nurse in the Civil War and also bucked tradition by being very independent for her time. :)
[Reply]
Definitely Rick Riordan! He’s awesome! XD

Oh well I would really love to visit J.K Rowling but I think I would feel a bit intimidated because she’s just so wow so instead I’d go with Jeaniene Frost. She’s my favourite author and meeting her would be a dream :)
[Reply]
I’d have to agree with Julia. Meeting Shakespeare would be fabulous. I’d also pick Jack Kerouac, Leonard Cohen, John Steinbeck or David Mamet. Ooh, Hubert Selby Jr., that would be excellent. When do we go?!
[Reply]
I forgot Kurt Vonnegut Jr. There, I picked one. Pretty decisive, huh?
[Reply]
I’d love to meet Jane Austen. I find it so interesting that she wrote such strong female leads in a time when women weren’t thought to be strong.
Thank you:)
[Reply]
I’m reading this now and I LOVE it!
[Reply]
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to get into the mind of Edgar Allan Poe?! Creepy, right?!
[Reply]
I would dream of visiting Jane Austen!

Hmm I think I’d like to visit with Libba Bray or maybe Maureen Johnson : )

Sarah Dessen. Thanks for the chance to win!
[Reply]
Shakespeare! I feel like I would just sit in awe as his old english dialect swept me away <3
[Reply]
I’d love to meet John Green! He’s an amazing writer. Thanks for this awesome giveaway! :)
[Reply]
Thanks for hosting this giveaway! I wouldn’t actually think that this was my typical read based on the blurb, but after reading so many positive reviews that go more in depth about how great this book is, I have become eager to read it myself.
As for an author I’d love to visit with: Megan Whalen Turner or Tamora Pierce!
[Reply]
Dean Koontz or Stephenie Meyers
[Reply]
John Green. He is awesome.
This book sounds so good!
[Reply]
Nora Roberts! I would love to meet her some day! :D
[Reply]
Jane Austen and Tahereh Mafi – love them both! :) Thanks for a giveaway!
[Reply]
I’d love to be able to sit down with Rick Riordan, if only because his books were some of the only books that my little sister actually enjoyed reading, they were the only ones which she would choose over the tv :).
[Reply]
Stephanie Perkins. Stephanie Perkins. Stephanie Perkins! I’m obsessed with her writing, her hair… and the boy masterpieces she’s created. *cough, ETIENNE ST. CLAIR, cough*
[Reply]
J.K. Rowling! That woman is a genius and I’d really love to meet her.
[Reply]
*facepalm*

I dream of meeting Melissa De La Cruz. I know one day it will totally happen. Well… hopefully lol
Thank you so much for the giveaway!!
[Reply]
While J.K. Rowling is brilliant, I would have to say Jane Austen or Arthur Conan Doyle. I would ask Doyle for advice on building characters, because Sherlock Holmes is my favorite! And I would want to meet Jane Austen because she was so perceptive and knowledgeable about how people think and feel. Thanks for the giveaway!
[Reply]
I’d love to meet JK Rowling! I think I’m going to fangirl all over her LOL! x) Stephen Chbosky is on my list of author-to-meet as well. And of course, Suzanne Collins! x)
Thanks for the awesome giveaway! <3

Jane Austen
[Reply]
That’s a really hard question to answer. Like a lot of people I’d love to meet JK Rowling. There are so many YA contemporary authors I’d love to meet too… Stephanie Perkins, Jennifer Echols, Sarah Dessen, John Green…
[Reply]
suzanne collins or veronica roth!
[Reply]
I’d love to talk to Stephen King. I can’t even begin to imagine how he comes up with the most fantastically freaky stories that he does!
[Reply]
Oscar Wilde, for sure ^^
Thanks for the giveaway =]]]
[Reply]
I would love to meet JK Rowling!:)
[Reply]
There are several people I’d do anything to visit, but my #1 dream author is Megan Whalen Turner. Of course, I love her books so much that I’d probably just stare in awe, which would make for a very uncomfortable visit.
[Reply]
There are so many authors I’d love to meet but I think I’d pick Stephanie Perkins or Jennifer Echols.
[Reply]
John Green! I’m really sad I missed the tour stop here in Seattle in January :[ Maybe someday I’ll have another chance!
