Soubhiville's blurb on My Favorite Authors

Happy March! Time to pull out our John Steinbeck books for #AuthorAMonth. What are you planning to read?

#AuthorAMonth 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.) ⬇️ 1y

Soubhiville -There will be one prize chosen from 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.

-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. ⬇️ 1y

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

Here is the link to the Google Form:

Bookwormjillk I‘m going to read Travels With Charley and hopefully get through all of Grapes of Wrath 1y

AmyG Ijust finished The Pearl on audio! My travel book. 1y

SamAnne I‘m reading East of Eden. Finally! I offer one suggestion that might not be on people‘s radar screens, esp. for those who have traveled to Baja or Mexico: The Log of the Sea of Cortez, a non fiction account of Steinbeck‘s boat trip along the coast of Baja with his best friend and biologist Ed. Both funny and poignant— they embarked just as the U.S. was entering WWII—and an incredible snapshot of Baja before the resorts came. A quick read. 1y

Soubhiville @SamAnne thanks for the suggestion! 1y

Amiable Just started “Travels With Charley“ and I'm really enjoying it! Also hoping to do a re-read of “Grapes of Wrath“ if I can get to it. 1y

dariazeoli I have the audiobooks if East of Eden in hold from the library, and a book of short novels on my Kindle. Question for my AAM peeps: If 5 short novels are in one ebook, is that 1 or 5 books towards your yearly count? 🤔 1y

BookwormAHN I'm planning to read East of Eden however I just realized he was the one who traumatized me with The Red Pony 🤦🏼‍♀️ 1y

DHill I‘ve got East of Eden lined up in print and Of Mice and Men on audio. 1y

dabbe @BookwormAHN I stupidly read THE RED PONY on the 1st go to my 7th graders years ago. I had to leave the room at the “certain“ part because I was sobbing so badly. I never made that mistake again. 🤣❣️🤣 1y

CoffeeNBooks @Jas16 I'm hoping to get to both of those this month as well! 1y

CoffeeNBooks @DHill I loved both of those! 1y

Jess I have East of Eden and Cannery Row on the shelves so will see how ambitious I feel this month. 1y

Gissy I‘m planning to read only one book for now. I only have in my tbr Grapes of Wrath🤗 1y

Bookzombie I‘m going with The Winter Of Our Discontent. 1y

Daisey I truly enjoyed East of Eden & Grapes of Wrath when I read them. I plan to start with Cannery Row and and maybe fit in another short novel as well. (edited) 1y

gossamerchild I had been planning on sitting this one out, but I picked up The Grapes of Wrath out of curiosity. I am pleasantly surprised by how much I'm enjoying it. 1y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick My plans and actual books completed haven't been in sync this year, but I hope to read Travels with Charley since it's on my physical TBR shelf. 1y
