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 📚🙂💚.

TheSpineView Looked at this author's books. Now I need to see what the library has to offer. 4w

AmyG All set for Ozeki! I think it was you who gave me

4w

CatLass007 I thought both of the Jane Harper books I listened to were excellent and I plan to make my way through the rest of her books. I‘ve put a Ruth Ozeki book on hold with my library. Looking forward to it! 4w

Soubhiville @AmyG yes, that‘s a chunky one! 4w

Yenya1954 I‘ve never read any of Ruth Ozeki‘s writings. I just reserved “A Tale for the Time Being.” 3w

Caryl A Tale for the Time Being is one of my very favorite books. 💖 I plan to read The Book of Form and Emptiness in April. 3w

KadaGul @Soubhiville I'm sorry 😢 to say that I won't be able to continue being a part of the AuthorAMonth book club. Things have been getting pretty hectic lately, and with school 🏫 and summer 🌞coming up, it will only get busier. 3w

Soubhiville @KadaGul no worries! Do you want me to take you off the tag list? I‘m glad you got to read along with us for a bit. Come back in anytime! 3w

KadaGul @Soubhiville, If it's not too much trouble, could you please remove me from the list? I will rejoin once things have settled down. 3w

Soubhiville No trouble at all @KadaGul 3w

Hello #AuthorAMonth readers! We‘ve got about a week left in February with Lauren Groff. I hope you‘ve been enjoying your time with her.

March‘s author is Jane Harper. It might be a good time to place your library hold or order. 📚❤️🙂

Have a great week!

tpixie @Soubhiville thanks 😊 2mo

CatLass007 I haven‘t gotten to the Lauren Groff book I had chosen. I‘ve felt pressured all month to get everything done before the end of the month. And that pressure is self-imposed. Plus February, even in a leap year, is a short month. Not enough time to get everything done that I want to do. But I am looking forward to Dry by Jane Harper. (edited) 2mo

Soubhiville @CatLass007 no worries! It‘s not important to read every author, it‘s only important to enjoy what you can and do read. 😊 2mo

CatLass007 @Soubhiville Thank you. 2mo

Bookzombie I‘m currently about 50 pages into

The Monsters of Templeton

2mo

Yenya1954 I have really enjoyed Jane Harper‘s novels! I‘m looking forward to reading another one. 2mo

Soubhiville Somehow I left out the “Every Month Club” in the notes above. There‘s a randomly drawn prize from the group of readers who either complete or attempt and bail on at least one book by each author.📚🙂 2mo

CatLass007 Since I won‘t be doing the challenge portion, I don‘t think it‘s vital that I fill out the Google form. I already have my Lauren Groff book, The Vaster Wilds! 2mo

Gissy Thank you! I completed the form with books read in January 2024🤗I‘m planning to read, but not 100% sure, more books by this author but later in the year, as part of another reading goal. 2mo

Soubhiville @CatLass007 you may want to do the Google form if you‘d like to be eligible for the prize drawing. Everyone who reads at least one book is automatically entered, but I go by the form to draw winners. 🙂 2mo

Soubhiville I hope to read the tagged, if I have time to get to it this month. It‘s the only book of Groff‘s I haven‘t read yet:

Delicate Edible Birds: And Other Stories

2mo

KadaGul @Soubhiville I got done ✅ w/ my local libraries' 📚 reading 📖 challenges earlier than anticipated that's why I can participate in February. I'm looking 👀 forward to reading 📖 Vester Wilds. I just have to pick up from library 📚 2mo

dabbe I have no idea what to read. Any suggestions anybody? 😃 2mo

Bookwormjillk It‘s finally time to read

Fates and Furies: A Novel

2mo

Soubhiville @dabbe if you like short stories my favorite by her is

Florida

2mo

Deblovestoread @dabbe. I loved Matrix. Historical Fic about a 17 year old sent to be a prioress of a destitute abbey. 2mo

Deblovestoread I hope to read both The Vaster Wilds and Florida. 2mo

Blackink_WhitePaper I am going to read Arcadia. I dont have any clue on the subject of the book. Lets see! 😄 2mo

Caryl I‘m planning to read Matrix, and may get to Florida as well. 2mo

Pageturner1 not familiar with her. guess will see what majority of #AAM is going to read. 2mo

dabbe @Deblovestoread Thanks; I'll look into it! 🤩😍🤗 2mo

Julsmarshall I‘ve got an ARC of Vaster Wilds and Florida on audio so I have a couple to read this month:) 2mo

peanutnine I'm planning to read Monsters of Templeton since I got a copy from a used book sale a while back. I'd also like to try to get to Fates and Furies if I have time, it was recommended highly on my favorite book podcast 2mo

LiteraryHoarderPenny @peanutnine Monsters of Templeton is my absolute favourite by Groff. Loved it! 2mo

Jess I got a head start and just finished Arcadia on audio (a low pick for me) and have Fates and Furies and Monsters of Templeton on my shelves so hope to read both this month. 2mo

peanutnine @LiteraryHoarderPenny oh yay, that makes me more excited to read it! 2mo

TheSpineView This author is going to be hard for me. I tried to read Fates and Furies a few years back and ended up bailing on it. I think it will just be whatever is available at the library. 2mo

Yenya1954 I enjoyed Delicate Edible Birds and other stories. 2mo

Bookzombie I‘m going to read Monsters of Templeton. 2mo

DHill I‘ll be reading

The Vaster Wilds

2mo

gossamerchild I'm reading Florida and I'm already sucked in! 2mo

Melismatic Unsure which I‘ll start with but Groff does have a short story available for free on KU 💪🏻💖 Tagged

Boca Raton

2mo

Jas16 I am planning on reading

Arcadia

2mo

AmandaBlaze I really liked Arcadia, but I think I'll go with TheVaster Wilds. 2mo

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!

CBee @Soubhiville could you email me your new address please? I‘d like to (eventually) send you something 😊 it‘s cydneybean@gmail.com. 3mo

IndoorDame My hold on The Vaster Wilds just came in yesterday. I‘m super excited about it since it‘s on my #auldlangspine list and I‘ve never read anything by Groff before. 3mo

CatLass007 Does anyone have any recommendation(s) for my first book by Lauren Groff? 3mo

AmyG @CatLass007 I can only say my first Groff was Monsters of Templeton and I loved it. I am going to read Florida and maybe, MAYBE, Arcadia. 3mo

Soubhiville @CatLass007 if you like short stories, Florida is my favorite by her. If you prefer novels I thought The Vaster Wilds was great. 3mo

AmandaBlaze I couldn't get into Northanger Abbey. I'll probably try again some day. I'm going to read Vaster Wilds for February. I loved Arcadia. 3mo

CatLass007 @AmyG @Soubhiville Thank you both. I think I prefer novels over short stories. It‘s hard to be invested in the characters in the short form. But if I like the novel I choose, I‘m more likely to choose books by the same author. 3mo

AmyG @Soubhiville OOOO thrilled to know how good Florida is. (edited) 3mo

Bklover I have The Vaster Wilds that I don‘t even remember buying, but I‘d like to try Florida as well. 3mo

Laughterhp I own the vaster Wilds, so I‘m going to read that and try fates and furies because I own that one as well! 3mo

dariazeoli I‘ll be finishing Pride & Prejudice this week! My first Groff will be audio:

Fates and Furies: A Novel

3mo

Melismatic Looking forward to Feb as I‘ve never read any Groff! 💖 3mo

Larkken Ooh good timing, I just got Vaster Wilds from the library! 3mo

Gissy I think I missed the link 3mo

Soubhiville @Gissy I haven‘t posted the link to the form yet. I will be posting it for the first time at the end of this month. 3mo

Yenya1954 Thanks! I just reserved one! 3mo

Gissy @Soubhiville Thank you🤗 3mo

Morr_Books I can't believe I haven't picked up an Austen yet. I guess there is still a little time.... 3mo

Bluebird I‘m reading an annotated version of Pride and Prejudice, nearly done. I am a bit nervous about Groff. I bailed on the Vaster Wilds at about 15%-despite it being read by one of my favorite narrators. I have Monsters of Templeton and Edible Birds on hold at the library-will see what comes up. 3mo

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!

TEArificbooks For SA Cosby, I loved Razorblade Tears so I have his new one pulled for that month 3mo

TEArificbooks For Emily St John I loved Station 11 and Sea of Tranquility 3mo

Texreader @TEArificbooks Thanks!!! 3mo

See All 14 Comments

TEArificbooks For Tana French I liked In the Woods the first in a series. They made it into a tv show but the mixed two books into the first season so you might want to read both books before watching 3mo

Texreader @TEArificbooks I actually bailed on that Tana French book. I got so bored. Any others? 3mo

TEArificbooks @Texreader I did like The Dry and every Sarah Addison Allen that you already have there. Only read the one French so far but I have The Witch Elm pulled for it. 3mo

Texreader @TEArificbooks I‘m really struggling with Sarah Waters. Every book that looks interesting to me has poor reviews that I‘d likely agree with (they are too slow-a complaint I take to heart). Have you read anything you liked by her? 3mo

Texreader Kuang‘s Babel was on my tbr, so I‘ve easily added that one. 3mo

CBee @Texreader a lot of Littens really like Fingersmith by Waters. Anything by Cosby is bound to be amazing. The Aaron Falk series by Jane Harper is good. 3mo

CBee Kuang‘s Yellowface was amazing, and my favorite by Klune is The House on the Cerulean Sea (Under the Whispering Door is also so good). 3mo

TEArificbooks @Texreader never read Waters but had many friends recommend Fingersmith 3mo

Texreader @CBee Thank you!! I‘m pretty sure my son has House on the Cerulean Sea so I‘ve stacked that one. And thanks for all the recommendations. Really appreciated! 3mo

Amiable @Texreader If you couldn‘t get into Tana French‘s Dublin Squad series, try “The Searcher” or “The Witch Elm.” They aren‘t related to the series. 3mo

CBee @Texreader you‘re welcome ♥️ 3mo

Bklover I sent mine yesterday 😊 3mo

BookwormAHN Mine is done 😺 3mo

erzascarletbookgasm submitted 🙂 3mo

vlwelser I won last year and my total was like 10 this year. You def don't need my form. But I plan to be more active in 2024. Thank you for all your organizing efforts. 🤗😘 3mo

Amiable I think I submitted the form? I updated it every month after I finished a book —did that do it ? I only read 12 books —one for each month. 3mo

dariazeoli Form should be complete. Thanks! ♥️ 3mo

Soubhiville @amiable sounds like you‘re good. I am not opening the spreadsheet until I‘m ready to start calculating, late tonight. 🙂 3mo

Welcome to January 2024 #AuthorAMonth readers! Time to pull out our Jane Austen books. 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 your Google form each month. (this prize can only be won once, there will be a different winner every year.) ⬇️ 3mo

Soubhiville -There will be one prize randomly 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. 3mo

Soubhiville -There will also be one or more 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.

I will build a new Google form for 2024 by the end of January. ⬇️ 3mo

Soubhiville Some of you are tagged more than once because I‘m not sure the tag worked for the first time… let me know if you got two notifications? I‘m going to read

Pride and Prejudice

3mo

Soubhiville @Susanita good luck! Classics can be a challenge for me. 3mo

dariazeoli This is the year I finally read

Pride and Prejudice

3mo

IndoorDame I‘m thinking I‘m going to read Emma. I think it‘s been by far the longest since I‘ve read it. 3mo

Lcsmcat I may reread Persuasion. It‘s my favorite Austen. 3mo

Bookwormjillk I‘m not sure yet. I‘ve read them all so it‘s going to be a mid-month treat for me to pick whichever one I have a feel for. 3mo

TheSpineView I'm think

Sense and Sensibility

3mo

Laughterhp I‘m going with Sense and Sensibility. I‘ve never read it before. I‘m just waiting on my library copy. 3mo

Amiable I may skip this month to focus on my #AuldLangSpine booklist—undetermined at this time. 🙂 3mo

Jess I found two different copies of Sense and Sensibility on my shelves so will start there but I‘ve never read Northanger Abbey and may want to try that this month. 3mo

AllDebooks I might go with Persuasion as it's the only one I haven't read or maybe stick with comfort reading my favourite

Sense and Sensibility

3mo

Melismatic I‘m not an Austen girlie but I trust this challenge! Gonna go left field with

Persuasion

3mo

vonnie862 I'm going to try Northanger Abbey. 3mo

Soubhiville @Melismatic I‘ve actually never read her! I feel like a book traitor to say I enjoy the movies but have never been drawn to the books. I‘m trying this month though! 3mo

Soubhiville @Amiable I love that challenge! I hope you have a bunch of books you‘re excited about for it. 3mo

vlwelser Emma. I'm not really an Austen person. I read P&P and kept expecting (hoping) zombies were about to lumber out of the bushes. We'll see what happens with this one. 3mo

BarkingMadRead I think I‘m going to read Persuasion. I always reach for P&P so I thought I‘d try something different 3mo

Read4life I‘m going to try Northanger Abbey on Serial Reader 3mo

Soubhiville @Read4life oh great idea! I often forget about serial reader. 3mo

Bookzombie I‘m going with Sense and Sensibility. 3mo

MrsV I think I might try Persuasion 3mo

Julsmarshall I‘m not sure, like @Bookwormjillk I‘ve read and own them all and plan to see where the wind takes me mid-month. Excited to get back into Austen 🤩 3mo

Caryl I‘m excited for Austen month! It will be fun to read all the posts. I‘ve read The Big Six, so I‘m going to start with one of her early works, then see if I have time for more.

Lady Susan

3mo

Deblovestoread I‘m going to start with Persuasion. If time allows I might squeeze in either P & P or S & S. 3mo

dabbe Either SENSE AND SENSIBILITY or PERSUASION. Haven't read either one. 3mo

mom2bugnbee My favorite! So excited to have an excuse to re-read her catalog! 3mo

KadaGul @Soubhiville I might not be able to get to the Authors until March. I am in few local Library 📚 reading 📖 challenges. They all will end in February. For March #JANEHARPER I'll have #DRYBYJANEHARPER 3mo

Soubhiville @KadaGul do you want to be added to the tag list? 3mo

KadaGul @Soubhiville Yes I want to because 5/12 I'm in local library challenges and then the rest i don't know 🤷‍♀️ what to read. This way I'll have little theme going on to fill in the gaps. If that's ok with you. 3mo

thegreensofa I‘m reading

Jane Austen - Sanditon: The last novel by Jane Austen

3mo

Andrew65 Going in for January with

Northanger Abbey

3mo

Emma

Bluebird I can‘t decide! I may put the names in a hat and choose that way. 😂😂 3mo

Eyelit @Caryl Twinsies! That‘s what I‘m doing as well 😃 3mo

Soubhiville @Gissy @BarkingMadRead @vonnie862 @TEArificbooks @Laughterhp @Eyelit @peanutnine @Bluebird 4mo

CatLass007 I enjoyed Nnedi Okorafor. I‘m still reading more of her books. 4mo

Soubhiville My favorites this year were Louise Erdrich and Maggie O‘Farrell. 🙂 4mo

BarkingMadRead Loved Reid, st James, and O‘Farrell 3mo

Melismatic For me, a toss up between Erdrich, Okorafor, and Morton 💖 3mo

tjwill I already loved and had read most of Ruth Ware‘s, Taylor Jenkins Reid‘s, and Simone St. James‘s books, so I read theirs that I hadn‘t read yet, but the one I read the most this year was John Steinbeck. I think I read 6 of his books. I read some AAM books every month but December because I was busy and didn‘t finish the one I was working on. (edited) 3mo

Andrew65 Thanks for such a great reading year @Soubhiville. I completed the form earlier today. Amazed when looking back to see I‘ve read 28 #AuthorAMonth books. Happy New Year to you. 3mo

Amiable Steinbeck and Larson. In fact, my Steinbeck pick almost won my nonfiction reading bracket for the year. I‘m proud of myself for finally making it into the “Every Month Club” this year! (edited) 3mo

DHill My favorite new-to-me author was Maggie O‘Farrell. 3mo

AmyG My favorites were O‘Farrell and Morton, though not new to me. 3mo

Soubhiville Thanks @Andrew65 ! Happy New Year! 3mo

dabbe Thanks for hosting this incredible event, @Soubhiville. I can only barely imagine the hard work involved. My faves this year were totally new to me: Erdrich, O'Farrell, and Ishiguro. Steinbeck has always been a personal favorite, so it was nice to read something of his I had never read before. Looking forward to 2024! 💙🖤💙 3mo

Megabooks I already knew I loved O‘Farrell, but discovering I loved Erdrich, too, was wonderful!! Thanks for another great year!! (edited) 3mo

UwannaPublishme Thanks for being our awesome host of this fun challenge! I was thrilled to finally read Taylor Jenkins Reid‘s Evelyn Hugo and Steinbeck‘s Grapes of Wrath. 3mo

BookwormAHN Surprisingly my favorite was The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie 😺 3mo

Bookwormjillk I loved re-reading some of my favorite Steinbeck books. 3mo

gossamerchild I was super surprised by John Steinbeck (The Grapes of Wrath might have been my favorite of the year) and Simone St. James. Such a great year of authors. I'm so excited for 2024! 3mo

Teresereading Ursula Le Guin was a great discovery for me 3mo

Jess My favs this year (although not new to me) were O‘Farrell and Ishiguro. It was great to clear my shelves of their backlist. My surprise fav author was St. James. I will definitely be picking up others from this author. Thanks for a fanatic year! 3mo

Read4life Kate Morton. I ended up reading 2 different books from what I originally picked because library holds came in. I plan to read the 2 I own in early 2024. 3mo

Caryl Favorites: I loved beginning 2023 with Erdrich‘s The Sentence! I was also happy to finally read O‘Farrell‘s Hamnet. I didn‘t get to Ishiguro or Morton, but hope to sneak them into my 2024 reading. Thank you for hosting this wonderful challenge, Soubhi! 3mo

Gissy Maggie O‘Farrell

Followed by Kate Morton and Simone St. James 3mo

Bluebird Reid and O‘Farrell were my favorites. Both were new to me. 3mo

Bklover I love St.James. Also Steinbeck and Ishiguro. Was a very good year!! 3mo

We are drawing close to the end of December and the end of the year #AuthorAMonth readers. I hope you are enjoying your Kate Morton books. I‘ve been seeing your reviews 🙂📚.

We will be starting off 2024 with Jane Austen, get your holds placed soon if you need to. I‘m pondering which to read, and I‘ve appreciated everyone‘s recommendations.

Don‘t forget to fill in your google form when you know you‘ve finished your last #AAM book for the year.

tokorowilliamwallace Oh, I saw this too late! I have a Kate Morton book I picked up thrifting that interested me, The Distant Hours. Maybe I'll be in the mood to start it the last week of the month. 4mo

CatLass007 I started participating in #AuthorAMonth in September of this year. I didn‘t know there was a Google form until just now. Will you be linking to the 2024 Google form? 4mo

Crazeedi If there is a form I'd like to see it too. Thank you!! 4mo

Bookwormjillk Completely forgot about the form. Thanks! 4mo

Karisimo Do we need to do the form if we tracked on the Storygraph challenge? 4mo

Soubhiville Here is the form link: https://forms.gle/TeytXus8tg53LGnk9. If you want to be eligible for prizes you will need to fill out the form. (It has been listed on most of the previous posts.) @Karisimo I will only be looking at the Google form, StoryGraph is for your own tracking pleasure. @Crazeedi @CatLass007 @Bookwormjillk 4mo

Crazeedi @Soubhiville thank you!!! 4mo

CatLass007 Thank you for the link. I didn‘t know there were prizes. I just thought of it as a fun way to meet new authors or clear out my TBR. And it definitely has done both this for me this year. 📚📚📚🙂 4mo

Karisimo @Soubhiville got it, thanks! 4mo

Bookzombie I‘m trying to finish my current read so that I can attempt a Morton book. 🙂 4mo

CatLass007 I will fill out the form when 2024 rolls around. 4mo

Mimi28 Jane Austen sounds cool 😎 She‘s on my kindle. ( I only have kindle on@my phone. I haven‘t fired up the old laptop in a while.) I‘ll sign up in January also. 4mo

November is drawing to a close #AuthorAMonth readers. 🙂 I hope you‘ve enjoyed reading Kazuo Ishiguro‘s books.

In a few days we‘ll start our Kate Morton books for December.

Now may be a good time to update your Google form tracking your #AAM reads. If you haven‘t started your form yet here is the link to do so:

https://forms.gle/TeytXus8tg53LGnk9
⬇️

Soubhiville Reminder to keep the email you get once you start your form, you will need it in order to update throughout the year, or you can wait and fill the whole thing out in December if you‘re keeping track of your books along the way. Your already started form should be available to edit in your Google Drive as well. 5mo

Soubhiville #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.”

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. 5mo

#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!

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 🙂📚.

Teresereading Home now from my trip. I have find a Rushdie. Midnights Children is an all time favourite but maybe I should try one of the later ones? 8mo

IndoorDame @Soubhiville When we go back and fill out your google form do we add DNFs to the number column, or just to the title column? (edited) 8mo

Soubhiville @IndoorDame just note them in the title column and note that you bailed. 🙂 8mo

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? ...

Hello #AuthorAMonth readers! July is winding down and we‘re wrapping up our month with Maggie O‘Farrell. I‘m happy she was voted onto this year‘s author list and I enjoyed my first experience with her. 🙂

If you haven‘t yet, it‘s time to place your holds or orders and find your copies of Salman Rushdie. He‘s our August author.

Hi #authoramonth readers 👋. May is halfway over already. Can you believe it? I hope you‘re learning interesting things with this month‘s nonfiction author Erik Larson.

Soubhiville I haven‘t decided yet, but based on recommendations I may go with

Isaac's Storm: A Man, a Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History

12mo

Jess I‘m going for either Isaac‘s Storm or Dead Wake. 12mo

Bookzombie I started Isaac‘s Storm. 12mo

RebelReader I think possibly

The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz

12mo

squirrelbrain I started Dead Wake already today - it‘s great so far. 12mo

IndoorDame I just started Devil In The White City 12mo

Cinfhen I‘ve started

Isaac's Storm: A Man, a Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History

12mo

Cinfhen @Soubhiville I thought these two were FABULOUS Devil and Splendid! 12mo

Amiable I love Erik Larson! I‘m going to do a reread of “Isaac‘s Storm” (probably my favorite of his, although I do also love “The Devil in the White City”) and then “The Splendid and the Vile” if I have time. Would also highly recommend this one to those who haven‘t read it :

In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin

(edited) 12mo

TheKidUpstairs I've loved everything of his I've read in the past, for this month I just picked up a copy of:

The Devil in the White City: A Saga of Magic and Murder at the Fair that Changed America

Isaac's Storm: A Man, a Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History

12mo

Suet624 @Bookzombie isaac‘s Storm is captivating. 12mo

Bookzombie @Suet624 Good! Thanks! 12mo

Suet624 @Bookzombie haha. Actually, captivating doesn‘t really capture the experience of reading the book. It‘s stunning. 12mo

Cinfhen I was able to borrow two from my library 💜😊Thunderstruck and

12mo

youneverarrived There was only 2 available at my library and I‘ve gone for

The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz

12mo

Andrew65 This will be a new author for me. Have managed to get hold of The Splendid and the Vile, and Lethal Passage. Lethal Passage is free to download if you are a member of Audible. Still searching others. Not always a great fan of non fiction but will see what I think. 12mo

Allylu Well, I read The Game of Silence by Louise Erdrich and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid so far this month, but The Death of Mrs. Westaway by Ruth Ware is coming up soon. 12mo

PurpleyPumpkin Looking forward to next month as EL is a favourite author of mine. Also enjoying this month‘s pick.

Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania

12mo

Amiable I ❤ Erik Larson-- looking forward to May! 12mo

squirrelbrain I‘ve chosen this one, mainly because it was the only one available at the library!

RebelReader I‘ll be skipping this month as well as I‘ve read all of hers already! 13mo

AmyG I listened to The It Girl end of last month as my hold came in…and enjoyed it alot. I just started The Girl in Cabin 10 last night which will catch me up on all her books! 13mo

TheBookHippie So not my genre ! Enjoy everyone! 13mo

Allylu I‘m planning on reading The Death of Mrs. Westaway. I have only read In A Dark, Dark Wood - gave it 5 stars! 13mo

Andrew65 Finally get to the Ruth Ware book I‘ve owned for a while.

In a Dark, Dark Wood

(edited) 13mo

AmyG I have The It Girl on reserve….I am supposedly next in line. 13mo

Cinfhen I read Travels with Charley this month!! So good. Not sure which book by Ware I‘ll be picking up / I‘m not a fan 🤷🏼‍♀️ 13mo

Soubhiville @Cinfhen I don‘t care for her either so I‘ll be skipping. 13mo

Lcsmcat @Cinfhen I liked Travels With Charley when I read it! I may skip next month though. Not a fan either. 13mo

CoffeeNBooks @Andrew65 That's the first Ruth Ware book I read, and it's my favorite of her books! 13mo

squirrelbrain @AmyG - I have that one bookmarked on Scribd. It‘s so looong though - 17hours on audio! 😬 13mo

Pageturner1 i‘ve got a couple of her books to read. 😀 13mo

Andrew65 @CoffeeNBooks It‘s one I look forward to getting to. Like your comments, I have heard positive things about it. 13mo

Cinfhen Oh good!!! I‘m in awesome company @Soubhiville @Lcsmcat when it comes to Ware. I read It Girl @squirrelbrain @AmyG it was ok but not worth 17 hours on audio 😳 13mo

AmyG @Soubhiville Ha…I shall find out as I reserved the audiobook. 😳 And I just found The Woman in Cabin 10 so will try to read that, too. (edited) 13mo

Amiable @Cinfhen @Lcsmcat I haven‘t enjoyed what I‘ve read by Ruth Ware either, but I‘m trying to be on the “every-author” list this year! 😬 Whatever I get for April will definitely be a library book so I don‘t have to pay for it. 😀 13mo

Deblovestoread I‘ve haven‘t read Ware and am not sure what I‘ll try but will likely stay away from a 17 hour audio book 😂 13mo

Cinfhen I think that‘s the right attitude @Amiable 😁I‘m gonna follow your lead and there‘s no shame in #AllHailTheBail if NEED BE 😉 13mo

squirrelbrain Yes, I‘m aiming for that too @Amiable ! I found It Girl at the digital library as well as audio so might mix it up to speed it up! @Cinfhen @AmyG I also found 3 more at the digital library but, really weirdly, it claims that they are ALL 352 pages long. 🤔 13mo

JacqMac @Cinfhen I am also not a fan. I‘m going to see what the library has because I don‘t want to buy one. lol 13mo

AmyG @squirrelbrain Well that‘s weird. I mean , her books are all similar length. 😳 13mo

Read4life @Andrew65 I agree with @CoffeeNBooks 🤓 I did save The It Girl for April when I saw she was the #AuthorAMonth author. It‘s the only one I haven‘t read yet. I‘ll reread Snowflakes, too. 13mo

Andrew65 @Read4life I‘ve got the IT Girl, The Lying Game and One by One on hold too. 13mo

Cinfhen @JacqMac SAME!!!! 13mo

Teresereading I chose my Steinbeck read but March flew by and I haven't opened it yet 🙃 13mo

AmyG Ijust finished The Pearl on audio! My travel book. 14mo

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. 14mo

Soubhiville @SamAnne thanks for the suggestion! 14mo

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. 14mo

Soubhiville @TheKidUpstairs that is frustrating. My library discontinued late fees, and I wondered if that would mean some people just kept books as long as they wanted to, regardless of whether there were holds on it. 14mo

Megabooks Just checked out 2 Steinbecks from the library! 14mo

Andrew65 February has been a great month for #AuthorAMonth. Hopefully can repeat this with Steinbeck. 14mo

IndoorDame @Soubhiville speaking as someone who has benefited immensely from this policy, I don‘t think it‘s that simple https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/10/07/us/new-york-public-library-fines-eliminated-c... 14mo

Bklover Loved this month! Can‘t wait for March! 14mo

SamAnne Very much looking forward to reading East of Eden in March! One of Steinbeck's I've not read! 14mo

AllDebooks I'm really looking forward to Steinbeck. 😊 14mo

Susanita Steinbeck and I are like oil and water, but maybe I‘ll do better with this one set near where I was born.

Cannery Row

14mo

AmyG I just got (audiobook) The Pearl. Ha, I am not even sure if I ever read it. @SamAnne you are in for a treat. Excellent book! (edited) 14mo

Soubhiville @IndoorDame thanks for sharing the article. I know there are good reasons for it, and I think it is best that fees are eliminated. I just understand the frustration of not getting a book in the expected/ predicted time. 14mo

Soubhiville @AmyG I loved The Pearl in school, and hope to reread that one. 14mo

IndoorDame @Soubhiville totally, I don‘t think any of us will ever escape that frustration! 🙂 🙃 14mo

CoffeeNBooks @SamAnne It's a great book! 14mo

CoffeeNBooks @Susanita I really liked Cannery Row, but I love all things John Steinbeck. 😆 14mo

CoffeeNBooks I'm not sure how February went by so quickly! 😳 I've had less time to read this month to begin with, and then February doesn't have the regular number of days 😂, so I never got to my TJR pick. 14mo

dariazeoli I‘m finishing the third of the TJR books I had on Mount TBR this month. I‘m so happy! Debating one Steinbeck chunkster or several short works for March… 14mo

Soubhiville @dariazeoli choices 📚😁! 14mo

BarkingMadRead Finished my February selection the other night, and have my Steinbeck put aside for March! 14mo

Bluebird I really enjoyed the Feb choice. Read 3 books and waiting on a library loan for number 4 😄. I‘m not sure I‘ll join for March. I‘m not a Steinbeck fan. Read one book years ago in high school and got turned off. Haven‘t tried him again. Anyone have a suggestion for a reluctant reader? 14mo

Cinfhen I read two this month…enjoyed them both and I‘ve got two lined up for next month🤓Thanks so much for this fun monthly challenge😍 14mo

Cinfhen @SamAnne EoE was PHENOMENAL!!! Such an amazing story. LOVED IT 14mo

Cinfhen @Bluebird see my above comment 👆🏽I felt the same until I read this one, but it‘s a bit of a chunkster, but so worth it

East of Eden

(edited) 14mo

DHill I‘m planning on reading

East of Eden

14mo

Bluebird Thanks @Cinfhen I‘ll give it a try! I‘m no longer stubborn about needing to finish books, so I can easily bail if it‘s not working for me. 14mo

Cinfhen Yay @Bluebird I hope it grabs and holds your attention but there‘s no shame in walking away #AllHailTheBail 😁🙌🏻 14mo

DrexEdit I've started reading the Steinbeck book you sent me @Soubhiville. Steinbeck is a little old-fashioned in his gender views, but otherwise the book is so far delightful!

Travels with Charley: In Search of America

14mo

LibrarianRyan another month bites the dust., 14mo
