Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly linkup of book bloggers hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl! This week, the topic is technically authors who have a fun social media presence. But I’m a bad book blogger, because I don’t actually follow very many authors on social media. So there aren’t quite ten here (only eight), and they aren’t all necessarily authors. But they’re all book-type people!
Roxane Gay: Not everyone loves Roxane’s twitter feed…she posts quite a bit, and definitely doesn’t let people get away with talking back to her. But I find her voice incredibly smart and often very funny (and sometimes not, but that’s everyone, right?).
Celeste Ng: She posts quite a bit not just about her books/books in general but also about the news and our world and I really enjoy reading what she has to say.
Connor Goldsmith: He’s a literary agent who does a lot of A+ pop culture tweeting alongside stuff about his work.
Anne Theriault: I think she has written a book, but she also writes longform articles (my favorites are about old-school royalty, Queens of Infamy) and tweets frequently about her life, her mental health, and her son, who sounds like a great kid!
Mignon Fogarty: She’s Grammar Girl, so obviously a great resource, but I have to give an extra special shout-out to a fellow Northern Nevadan!
Maris Kreizman: She created the truly fantastic Slaughterhouse 90210 tumblr (and book!), was on staff of Book of the Month for a while there, and remains in the general literary realm. I don’t always agree with her taste in books but she always has something interesting to say!
Alexandra Petri: Columnist, author, hilarious.
Rachel Hawkins: Her Sexy History twitter series was fantastic, both laugh-out-loud and informative. I also enjoy her tweets about the realities of being an author!
