This week over at the Broke and Bookish the topic for Top Ten Tuesday is:

‘Top Ten Author Duos You’d LOVE To See Write A Book Together’

Well, I think this is a real toughie to be honest.  I thought I’d go for something a little different (also, I realise that some of these authors are no longer around but I’m still picking them):

  1. Neil Gaiman and Douglas Adams.  Don’t ask me why other than strange quirky fantasy/sci fi and bags of humour.
  2. Joe Abercrombie and JRRTolkien – imagine a grimdark middle earth if you will! ‘f-bomb in-coming’.
  3. GRRMartin and Andy Weir – this could be the abridged version of The Martian – as GRRM likes to kill off his characters and Andy Weir wrote The Martian, which is mostly centred around one main character, well, let’s just say it’s going to be a quick read.
  4. CS Lewis and Bram Stoker – Dracula in Wonderland.  Sorry.
  5. Sarah Pinborough and Louisa May Alcott – Sassy Little Women
  6. Mark Lawrence and Dr Seuss – The Prince who Stole Christmas:  Jorg : ‘The nerve of those Whos. Inviting me down there – on such short notice! Even if I wanted to go my schedule wouldn’t allow it. 4:00, think of new ways to torture people; 4:30, stare into the eyes of a man before I chop off his head; 5:00, create world hunger, let everyone starve; 5:30, homicide; 6:30, dinner with Catherine – she better not cancel!; 7:00, wrestle with my inner demon – kick it’s ass… I’m booked. Of course, if I bump the inner demon to 9, I could still be done in time to lay in bed, stare at the ceiling and slip slowly into dreams of ruling the world. But what would I wear?’
  7. Arthur Conan Doyle and Jim Butcher – a new sort of detective agency starring Harry Holmes, and Dr Dresden

And that’s it for me.  I only got 7 this week.
