Hello #authoramonth readers!

June has been flying by for me, how about you? I‘m seeing lots of reviews of @ChrisBohjalian ‘s books, and I‘m happy to see so many enjoying them.

Heads up that July will bring us Jason Reynolds, in case you need to place library holds or go shopping 🙂📚.

Happy Reading!

There are so many great and slightly unsettling author pics of Patricia Highsmith that I couldn‘t choose just one! I love an author photo that includes a pet, and she clearly loved her cats.

May is halfway over #AuthorAMonth readers. I hope you‘re enjoying your picks.

June‘s author will be Chris Bohjalian, in case you need to put in an order or library hold. (He‘s a favorite of mine, from my birth state, Vermont.)

Here we are at the end of the month again #AuthorAMonth readers! I really liked my John Boyne book, A History of Loneliness. I‘ve enjoyed the others I‘ve read by him in the past.

I‘ve read and stacked books from all of your reviews!

Monday starts May and our Patricia Highsmith books. If you haven‘t yet put in your library holds, it‘s time to get to it! Have a great weekend all. 📚❤️📚

It‘s March, time to pull out our Lisa See books for #AuthorAMonth. What are you planning to read?

#AuthorAMonth is a no-pressure challenge, read as many or as few as you like. The authors were voted on by Litsy.

At the end of the year there will be one prize box going to the person who read the most books. To qualify the books must be finished during the author‘s month. ⬇️

Soubhiville Also a few randomly drawn prizes will be chosen from the list of participants- for these prizes you only have to have read at least one book during the year that qualifies, and must still be an active Litsy user.

As always, let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the tag list. 🙂📚. Happy Reading! 4mo

DrexEdit I'm going to read the classic.

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

5mo

megnews I read all her memoirs and poetry a few years back. Have raved about her memoirs ever since though I like all the rest better than Caged Bird for some reason. So I‘m reading the second,

Gather Together in My Name

5mo

vlwelser I have no plans. I think I'll try to start with the second part of her memoir. But I may just see what's available at the library. 5mo

TheBookHippie So I‘ve decided to reread first

Mom & Me & Mom

5mo

TheBookHippie Then reread

The Heart Of A Woman

5mo

DHill

Mom & Me & Mom

5mo

Lcsmcat I‘ll probably start with

The Heart of a Woman

5mo

Allylu I‘m reading

The Heart Of A Woman

5mo

AmyG I am listening to

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

5mo

PurpleyPumpkin As it‘s her first memoir, I‘m leaning towards reading

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

5mo

MeganAnn I borrowed the audio (read by the author!) from the library

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

5mo

CoffeeNBooks All of them! 😁 I discovered Maya Angelou in high school and immediately read all of her books. It's been a loooong time, so I'm really looking forward to the rereads. I'm starting with I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. 5mo

sprainedbrain I‘ve read (and loved) so many of hers already, but I found this one on my tbr!

Letter To My Daughter

5mo

Texreader I‘m going to try to finally read the book long on my tbr list:

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

5mo

Bookzombie I‘m going to start by rereading I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings then go from there. (edited) 5mo

Hi #AuthorAMonth readers! It‘s almost the end of January already. Drawing to the end of our month with Barbara Kingsolver. I‘m glad so many of you have enjoyed her writing!

February brings us Maya Angelou. Have you placed your library holds or pulled her off your shelves? I‘ve found her poetry especially touching.

Soubhiville @BarkingMadRun remember there‘s no pressure! You don‘t have to read every month to be entered in the drawing. 5mo

marleed I‘m so thrilled I finally jumped in to AuthorAMonth and grabbed the tagged from the bottom of my physical TBR to finally read. Thank you!

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle

5mo

MeganAnn I didn‘t get to my January book so back on the shelf it goes for another time. I do have the audio for I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings on hold for February. Looking forward to it as I loved

Mom & Me & Mom

5mo

UwannaPublishme Of course, I‘ll be reading one of her memoirs... leaning toward the one about her writing life

The Heart Of A Woman

5mo

Lcsmcat I‘ve got four volumes of her autobiography that I haven‘t read yet. Haven‘t decided yet which one! 5mo

Soubhiville Wow @Lcsmcat ! Plenty to choose from. That would be a tough choice. 5mo

Crazeedi Can I still read my January book in February?? I'm not done with it!! 5mo

Blackink_WhitePaper I enjoyed reading Jan author. I finished two books Homeland and other stories, Hide tide in Tuscan. I m planning to read more books by this author. Next on my TBR is

Bean Trees

5mo

Soubhiville @Crazeedi Technically as far as it counting towards the drawing, it‘s supposed to be finished during the correct month. I‘m not keeping track myself, you fill in the Google form and it automatically populates my spreadsheet. So it‘s by honor system. 5mo

Larkken I read and really enjoyed Prodigal Summer! I'll read more by Kingsolver, for sure. For Angelou, I've had Letter to my Daughter on my kindle forever...

Letter To My Daughter

(edited) 5mo

PurpleyPumpkin I really did enjoy my first Kingsolver book! And I‘m very much looking forward to Maya Angelou. Surprisingly, at least to me, I‘ve not yet read any of her works, so this will be another first!😉 5mo

Sarahreadstoomuch I dropped the ball this month, but am very much looking forward to Maya Angelou! 5mo

DHill I read Unsheltered and really enjoyed it. I‘ll be reading Mom & Me & Mom for Maya Angelou. 5mo

Happy New Year Litsy! Here‘s the Master Post for #AuthorAMonth this year. There will be quite a bit of info below, so bear with me!

Author A Month is a no-pressure, no-commitment Litsy challenge. The goal is to celebrate the works of a particular author each month. Authors were chosen through polls by Litsy participants. Read as many as you like, skip months when needed, it's entirely up to you!

⬇️

Soubhiville There will be some prizes sent at the end of the year!

-There will be ONE prize book box for "MOST READ." In order to qualify, books must be FINISHED in the appropriate month. (Bails will not be counted.) It is up to you to keep track by editing the Google form each month. (this prize can only be won once, there will be a different winner every year.) 6mo

Soubhiville -There will be one or two prizes chosen from this new category: the "EVERY MONTH CLUB". To qualify for this prize you must read one or more book every month for the qualifying author. For this category BAILS COUNT. The winners will be chosen randomly from the participants that qualify for the club. 6mo

Soubhiville -There will also be a few random prizes sent to any randomly drawn participant who has FINISHED at least one qualifying book during the year.

Only Listy members who are still active in the Listy community at the time of drawings will qualify. 6mo

Soubhiville Below is the link to the Google Form. Be sure to save the copy you will automatically be sent when you fill it out, as that is the only way you will be able to access your form to edit it. You can either fill it in each month or wait until the end of the year to fill it out, makes no difference to me.
6mo

Soubhiville https://forms.gle/dNr7nA1XQb4c8RcPA 6mo

Soubhiville If you use and enjoy StoryGraph, here is a link to the challenge there. (This is entirely for your own joy and has nothing to do with the end of year drawings.)

Soubhiville It doesn‘t seem to want to embed that link for StoryGraph but it‘s very easy to search challenges by creator. I‘m soubhi there. So I think that‘s all for now, let me know if you have questions. And as always, just let me know if you‘d like to be added or removed from my tag list. Happy Reading! (edited) 6mo

Soubhiville Sorry to see you go @Eggs you‘re an inspiration! Do you have another challenge you‘ll be focusing on this year? 6mo

Soubhiville @Texreader I was wondering which author you didn‘t like (I think it was you that commented about that?). I didn‘t care for Poisonwood Bible, but I loved Animal, Vegetable, Miracle which is nonfiction. I‘m trying another fiction work this month, we‘ll see how it goes! 🤷‍♀️ 6mo

Soubhiville @RaeLovesToRead good luck! You only have to finish one to be entered in the drawing! 6mo

Soubhiville @Cinfhen 🥰 6mo

December is drawing to a close #AuthorAMonth readers. 🙂

Please comment below with the number of books by Isabel Allende you read. Or if you prefer to post a collage of your reading, just use the hashtag #AAMIA and be sure to tag me so I see it.

#AuthorAMonth is a no-pressure challenge in which we read books by a voted on author each month. Read as many or as few as you like. At the end of the year there is a prize box for “Most Read.” ⬇️

Soubhiville There will also be randomly drawn prizes- everyone who has read at least one Author a Month book and is still active on Litsy is entered into those random drawings.
As always, just let me know if you‘d like to be added or removed from my tag lists. ❤️📚 6mo

It‘s almost time! Tomorrow we pick up our Barbara Kingsolver books #AuthorAMonth readers! Have you read her before? I have read two- Poisonwood Bible and Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. I plan to read The Bean Trees. What are you thinking of reading?

Watch for posts tomorrow with the Google form for 2022 and a bit of new info. Assuming I get my calculations done I‘ll also post winners!

Enjoy the rest of the month with your Isabel Allende books #AuthorAMonth readers 🙂📚.

Have a great week!

The quotes for Isabel Allende I‘m finding on Pinterest are all in Spanish (accurately.) Can any participants translate this for us?

We‘re already almost halfway through December! Enjoy your books!

WJCintron “I like people who have to fight for what they want. The ones who having everything against them, make it through (or succeed). That's the people I'm fascinated with. Strong people.“ Isabel Allende

It‘s December, time to bring out our Isabel Allende books for #AuthorAMonth. What are you planning to read?

#AuthorAMonth is a no-pressure challenge, read as many or as few as you like. The authors were voted on by Litsy, see list for the year above.

At the end of the year there will be one prize box going to the person who read the most books. To qualify the books must be finished during the author‘s month. ⬇️

Soubhiville Also a few randomly drawn prizes will be chosen from the list of participants- for these prizes you only have to have read at least one book during the year that qualifies, and must still be an active Litsy user.

As always, let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the tag list. 🙂📚. Happy Reading! 7mo

Litsy readers voted and these 12 authors came out on top 😊.

At the end of the year there is a prize box for “Most Read.” To qualify books must be finished in the appropriate month. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Soubhiville There will also be randomly drawn prizes- everyone who has read at least one Author a Month book and is still active on Litsy is entered into those random drawings.

As always, just let me know if you‘d like to be added or removed from my tag lists. ❤️📚 8mo

Soubhiville I know author @ChrisBohjalian is on Litsy. Does anyone know if any of these other authors are? 8mo

TheBookHippie Fun!!! Some I‘ve read all their work. But I‘ll be there for the rest! 8mo

staci.reads Nice list! 6 authors I have read, 6 I haven't, and I'm excited about both! 8mo

TrishB Great stuff 👍🏻 thank you. I have a John Boyne ready for #booked2022 so I know when I‘ll read it! 8mo

ChrisBohjalian Oh, my gosh, I am utterly Gobsmacked. Thank you! This is such a wonderful surprise. I‘m humbled by the company. 8mo

Megabooks I am HERE FOR this list! Very excited! 8mo

Texreader One of my least favorite authors is on this list! So sad! I wish we had alternates when that happens as this will be the first year I skip a month. The rest looks intriguing! Thanks so much for doing this again this year! 8mo

Soubhiville @Texreader that‘s an interesting idea…. I‘ll think on that. (And I‘m curious which author…. But you don‘t need to name them.). I don‘t read along every month as there have been a few authors I didn‘t connect with too in the past. 8mo

Soubhiville @TheBookHippie fingers crossed for some new releases? 🤞 8mo

erzascarletbookgasm Nice! 5 authors I voted for are in the list! The rest I shall see how it goes during the month. Thank you. 8mo

Chrissyreadit I never manage to read in the same month but some of these are authors I love so I will keep on trying! 8mo

Soubhiville @Chrissyreadit too many books, too little time 📚😉. 8mo

Bookwormjillk Great list! Some favorites, some I‘ve wanted to try, and some I‘ve never heard of. 8mo

Pageturner1 my resolution for the New Year, try harder! i try finding new authors and this definitely helps. 8mo

Christine Love the list! ❤️ 8mo

MeganAnn Ooo great list! I have several of these authors on my TBR and would love to join in for those at least. Will you add me to your tag list? 8mo

Soubhiville @MeganAnn you‘re added 🙂📚 8mo

vivastory What a great list! Thanks for continuing to host this! 8mo

MeganAnn @Soubhiville thank you! 8mo

squirrelbrain Great list! Can you add me on this year @Soubhiville please? I‘m not sure how many I‘ll get to, but I have a Kingsolver on my #booked2022 list so that works perfectly! 8mo

PurpleyPumpkin What a great list! I‘m going to try to join you here and there. Looks like fun!😉 8mo

Larkken So many great authors! I‘ll have to try to join again. This year it made me pick up books outside my comfort zone, and they were all great 😊 8mo

Daisey This is a great list! I think I might add this as a prompt on my Book Spin list each month next year. 8mo

Crazeedi @Texreader I hear you! 8mo

Crazeedi @Soubhiville thank you! I have a couple books already by some of these authors, I hope I am able keep up , it's a great challenge for me 8mo

DrexEdit I‘m taking a screen cap and keeping this calendar in mind. I already see a couple of months where I would like to join in. Thank you for organizing! 8mo

AmyG Yay!!! Thank you. 8mo

Cinfhen Thanks so much for organizing!! What a wonderful list of authors!!! 8mo

Soubhiville @squirrelbrain you are added 😊📚 8mo

Andrew65 An interesting and diverse list, will be 10 new authors to me. 8mo

mom2bugnbee @Andrew65 11 for me! Love it! 8mo

sprainedbrain Love this list! 8mo

Kdgordon88 I‘ve loved participating this year and look forward to reading from this list of authors! 8mo

Andrew65 @mom2bugnbee Read John Boyne, who I love, and Naomi Novik - although only one book. 8mo

mom2bugnbee @Andrew65 I've read Sylvia M-G, and she isn't for me, but I understand why others love her. Excited to try the others! Kinda embarrassed I've never read Maya Angelou. 🥺 8mo

Andrew65 @mom2bugnbee You‘ll love John Boyne. I strongly recommend The Absolutist, Ladder to the Sky, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. But still a lot of his I have not read. Not even heard of Sylvia M-G. 8mo

Bookzombie Thank you for putting this together! I‘m excited. Three of my suggestions are on here. I have read 5 of the authors, but I‘m very happy to read more of their work. 💗 8mo

marleed Oh I took a screenshot because I‘ve seen posts from author-a-month readers and have wanted to join in for a couple years! 8mo

MoonWitch94 2022 is the year I read at least one a month! I‘m planning this time! Can‘t wait! 8mo

Read-y_Picker Yay!! Another great list! 8mo

mom2bugnbee @Andrew65 Oh! I know of Boy in Pyjamas, didn't know the author. My kids loved that one when they read it in school. Silvia M-G's most recent was Mexican Gothic, which got great reviews, unless you aren't a Gothic horror fan, which I evidently am not. 😂 8mo

Andrew65 @mom2bugnbee Know the book, but didin‘t know the author. Not particularly a fan of horror full stop. 8mo

Crazeedi @mom2bugnbee @Andrew65 I'm not a horror reader either 8mo

JaclynW Great list! I'm excited! Four new authors on this list for me and many favorites listed. Can't wait! Thanks! 8mo

coffeewithbooks @Soubhiville count me in ! So excited 8mo

It‘s November, time to bring out our Carlos Ruiz Zafon books for #AuthorAMonth. What are you planning to read?

#AuthorAMonth is a no-pressure challenge, read as many or as few as you like. The authors were voted on by Litsy, see list for the year above.

At the end of the year there will be one prize box going to the person who read the most books. To qualify the books must be finished during the author‘s month. ⬇️

Soubhiville Also a few randomly drawn prizes will be chosen from the list of participants- for these prizes you only have to have read at least one book during the year that qualifies, and must still be an active Litsy user.

As always, let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the tag list. 🙂📚. Happy Reading! 8mo

I can‘t believe it‘s already the end of October, the last day of #AuthorAMonth VE Schwab. I‘m so glad it seems everyone has enjoyed reading her books!

Please comment below with the number of books by VE Schwab you read. Or if you prefer to post a collage of your reading, just use the hashtag #AAMVS and be sure to tag me so I see it.

#AuthorAMonth is a no-pressure challenge in which we read books by a voted on author each month. ⬇️
