Authors As Tarot Cards

But you know what kind of tarot deck I’d really like to add to my collection? A tarot deck based on contemporary authors. From young adult authors to fantasy authors to those who write literary fiction, there are all sorts of authors who nearly perfectly embody different cards in the major arcana. Here are my picks for the 22 authors who I think best embody the 22 cards in the major arcana. And if anyone wants to make my author-as-tarot-cards dream a reality, I would love to see this deck come true! Quick disclaimer before we get into the cards: this is all in good fun, and if you don’t agree with my cards, you’re more than welcome to come up with your own! In fact, I’d love to see it. Also, this post as inspired in part by this Book Covers as Tarot Cards blog post. So if you like the idea of literary tarot, definitely go check out that post as well!
