10 Authors Who Have a Fun Social Media Presence

It’s the age of the internet and that means fans can follow and interact (!!!) with celebrities. For readers, those celebrities are called authors.

There are many authors whom I follow as well. I follow partly for new book news but mostly to know the authors behind the scenes. Like what are they annoyed with today or memes that they find funny. Just fun things!

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by Authors Who Have a Fun Social Media Presence and this week’s topic is Authors Who Have a Fun Social Media Presence. Let’s get to it!

[1] Rick Riordan

I’ve been following him since the time I joined Twitter, and I totally enjoy his tweets. Especially recently, since he posts updates about a new PJ adaptation (FINGERS CROSSED WE GET ONE!).

Okay, fine, coronavirus, I will try not to touch my face, but I draw the line at not touching my dog’s face. pic.twitter.com/G1pthlXJCP

[2] V. E. Schwab

She is an ABSOLUTE QUEEN and its fun to follow her both on Twitter and Instagram. Schwab is hilarious, especially with her tweets. Also, most of her tweets are SUPER RELATABLE.

I have a pot of tea, a chocolate brownie, and a blank page. Let's make shit up.

No rest for the wickedly ambitious.

[3] Kiera Cass

She is HILARIOUS. I love following her on both Twitter and Instagram. Her Instagram user name is so cool.

One of the recent highlights was when there was a line in P.S. I Still Love You (Sequel of To All The Boys) that was VERY SIMILAR to a very popular line from her book The One. Everyone started tweeted her about it and she had NO CLUE because she doesn’t watch movies. It was so funny.

Did I get excited and have too much coffee cake? Yes. Yes, I did. Do I regret it? If you think yes, I feel like you don't know me.

[4] Hank Green

Hank Green’s tweets on Twitter are crack. me. up. He also tweets about relevant things that are happening in the world currently.

Everyone please take a moment with me to to appreciate page 308 of A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor…the only page in the entire book that did not receive a single note, change, or extra comma during copy editing.

I just heard a rich guy on a podcast say that the average time spent doing housework has dropped from 54 hours a week to 1.5 hours a week. He made a huge deal about it and no one called him on it and I'm like, "DO ANY OF YOU HAVE A HOUSE?!?!"

[5] James Breakwell

HIS ACCOUNT IS MY FAVOURITE.

His tweets are almost ALWAYS funny, and they’re all about his family. His young daughters are such ICONS and it’s so cool to see random life updates through his tweets.

I’ve shown his account to multiple IRL* friends actually.

*In Real Life

5-year-old: Do I have to fall in love someday?

Me: No.

5: Good. I have stuff to do.

— James Breakwell, Exploding Unicorn (@XplodingUnicorn) March 7, 2020

I mean.. seriously. I love the 5 year old. (He always refers to them by their ages)

7-year-old: Can I ask you a job question?

Me: Sure.

7: Can I be president if I'm also a queen?

Dream big.

[6] Penny Reid

Considering some of my favourite romance books are written by her, its obvious that she would be just as awesome as a person. Or as a Twitter account.

She also responds and interacts with her fans a TON.

It doesn't hurt, but my stomach is making sounds like a haunted house. It was either the jalapenos or the extra sriracha.🤔

— Penny Reid (should be writing) (@ReidRomance) January 3, 2020

Listening (upstairs) to my 10 y/o daughter (downstairs) improvise songs on her guitar based on poetry she’s written. There are a lot of feelings being expressed in rhyme.

Isn’t this, like, 4-5 years too early? 🧐

[7] Tahereh Mafi

Her Instagram account is GORGEOUS. First of all, love her fashion and her style. It’s not my style, but I do admire her for having a very distinctive style. Another thing I love is getting glimpses of her CUTE daughter.

There are so many more pictures showing off her style that I want to show but then this post will just become an ode to her Instagram.

[8] Adam Silvera

I’ve been following his Twitter WAY before I even read his books. His personality is so cool and it shows through his tweets.

He also frequently gushes about other books and shares what he’s reading/loving.

I feel so behind on book series and I'm tempted to do one series on audio every month.

— ADAM (@AdamSilvera) March 8, 2020

[9] R. F. Kuang

She’s the author of The Poppy War, but it doesn’t seem like it in her Twitter feed because she talks about all life things more than book things.

One of her tweets became popular and found it’s way into my feed, which was how I started following her. It actually took me a few seconds to realize that she’s the author haha.

Sharing my FAVOURITE tweet thread by her lol.

I actually BURST OUT LAUGHING when I read the first tweet. And I was in public.

[10] Alexa Martin

I’ve spoken about her and her books several times in my posts, especially in the recommendation lists. So, of course, I had to find her online and follow her.

I just ordered margarita sorbet (with tequila) from Uber eats and it is literally the best thing to ever happen to me.
