Heads up #AuthorAMonth readers 🙂. We‘re 2/3 of the way through March and you all have read a lot of Jane Harper! She seems to mostly be a hit.
As we inch closer to April, you may want to place your library hold or order for Ruth Ozeki books. It will be my first experience with her, and I‘m looking forward to it!
Happy Reading 📚🙂💚.

We have a little more than a week left in January #AuthorAMonth readers. 🙂 I hope you‘re enjoying reading Jane Austen‘s books.
Quick reminder that February will be Lauren Groff‘s month of recognition. Do you need to put a hold on a book from your library or place an order with your local indie bookseller?
I‘ll be posting the 2024 google sheet at the end of January.
Happy reading!
Announcing the #AuthorAMonth 2023 prize winners:
“Most read” came out a tie this year! With 28 books each the winners are: @Andrew65 and @Jas16 !
From the “Every Month Club” the randomly drawn winners are: @Texreader and @Deblovestoread !
And the randomly drawn winner who completed at least 1 AAM book: @Susanita
All winners please email me- see first comment.
We read 498 books together in 2023. The most read author was Louise Erdrich: 64📚⬇️
Preparing for #authoramonth for 2024 is proving difficult. I have very few books by these authors. Husband has most of Pratchett‘s books, so he‘s going to help me pick for December. But otherwise, I‘ll be looking for suggestions.
Other than Emma, I‘ve not read books by Jane Austen. I‘m about 1/3 into Pride and Prejudice and I‘m enjoying it very much. I‘m pleasantly surprised (& some authors not so much—Rushdie). That‘s why I love this challenge!
Did you read books for #AuthorAMonth in 2023? Do you want to be entered in the drawings for prizes?
I will be adding up totals and announcing winners on Friday by noon EST, so be sure you‘ve filled in your Google form before you go to bed on Thursday.
Here‘s the link one more time, all rules are on the form:

Every year I ask folks who still wants to be tagged for #AuthorAMonth. This lets me weed out people who are no longer active, and also is a great time for new readers to get on the tag list. Please comment on their post to be on the 2024 tag list.
#AuthorAMonth is a no commitment group, jump in or out whenever you feel like it. All authors nominated and voted on by Litsy members.

#AuthorAMonth readers (and anyone else who is interested)
It‘s time to nominate authors for next year‘s reading list!
I will build the poll in 2-3 weeks. Nominate anyone you‘d like, but I‘ll remove all authors we‘ve already read from the poll list.
Authors can write any genre, but must have several books published.
I‘m looking forward to seeing who you suggest!
We‘re halfway through October! I hope everyone is enjoying reading Simone St James for #authoramonth!
Reminder for those who like to plan ahead, next month‘s author is Kazuo Ishiguro. 🙂📚

We‘ve got just one week left with September‘s #AuthorAMonth Nnedi Okorafor. I hope you‘ve been enjoying some unique sci fi adventures!
October brings us into Simone St James for some creepy reading. Go ahead and put in your orders or holds now. 🙂😱
Stopped by Safeway for milk and hair color found two of my favorite authors for $3.99 each.
SCORE! 😁

August is more than halfway over #authoramonth readers. I hope you‘re enjoying your time reading Salman Rushdie. (I see from reviews he‘s a bit hit or miss.)
September will bring us to Nnedi Okorafor. Place your library hold or orders, or find her on your shelves. Binti is a favorite of mine if you‘d like a recommendation 🙂📚.
Here‘s a very basic sheet, hope it‘s understandable and useful. Can be edited if needed 😊 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Xb0KMFhRk2T6_QvpRq77X3l9qQFkd66E8tRl6--g... Suggest authors, tag yourself and the next free # if you‘d like to support an author and write the # if you use a certain social media. The more interest people we get, the better! ❤️❤️ #authorlove #authoroftheday
Repost for @Tove_Reads
Here‘s my idea: one author, one day, and everyone loving his/her books will post on Litsy and other social media, tagging the author, to show love! I want this authorto be fantastic, but sadly not that famous. I‘d love to have several people helping me coordinate this, and as many as possible to participate. What do you think, Littens? ...
