Hello #AuthorAMonth readers! Can you believe we‘re almost to the end of another month? Just a few more days with Judy Blume. If you haven‘t yet you may want to check out the biopic of her on Prime, it‘s excellent!

For September we‘ll be reading Kurt Vonnegut. Any recommendations?

TheBookHippie Oy. I prefer his short stories, plays and letters. I think everything he writes makes you think. I know ….non answer… 1mo

ChaoticMissAdventures I don't do Author of the Month, but I love seeing everyone's posts and Vonnegut is one of my all time favorites hope it is ok if I give some recs? Slaughterhouse is a must (I have a tattoo) Sirens of Titans is lesser known but a hidden gem, loved Cats Cradle, and for non-fiction readers I love this one of graduation speeches.

A Writer's Diary

3mo

For July #AuthorAMonth. I have found Serial Reader to be a great way to get through classics. It‘s a free ap, and there are a lot of Woolf books on there, from 7-25 “issues”. Each “issue” is about a 10 minute read, making it easy to read for 2 short sessions a day and complete a tough classic in a month! I think I‘ll probably read her this way.

Hello #AuthorAMonth readers! We‘re down to about one week left with June‘s author John Scalzi. I hope he‘s been making you laugh.

July brings us to a classic with Virginia Woolf. I haven‘t read anything by her before and I‘m looking forward to it! Any recommendations for where to start?

A Room of One's Own

3mo

Bookwormjillk Zoinks! I need to get going on June! 3mo

Caroline2 Oh good idea @Susanita I might copy you. 👍 3mo

dariazeoli I had OldMan‘sWar in my TBR for years and I‘m thrilled to have finally checked it off! I‘m a little intimidated to try Woolf again. 3mo

Soubhiville @Bookwormjillk He‘s usually a fast and fun read, so a week hopefully will be enough time for you to read something if you want to. 😁 3mo

Sace I had planned to skip the July author but then I discovered I had a copy of Mrs Dalloway (the perils of having too many books…you sometimes forfeit what you have). I‘m a little intimidated by her though. I‘ve never read her.

Mrs Dalloway

3mo

AmyG Whelp, I started my book but I won‘t finish it this month. Reading has been tough these days….plus lots going on as summers are always busy around here. I will finish it, just not in June. 3mo

Deblovestoread I‘ve been lousy this year but did listen to his latest this month. It was ok but no

3mo

willaful @Deblovestoread Agreed! I tried to read Fuzzy Nation but really didn't see the need for another version of Little Fuzzy. 3mo

CatLass007 I read a short story, The President‘s Brain is Missing, and the three novellas that make up The Dispatcher series. I‘ve got a couple of others that I probably won‘t get to before the end of the month but maybe before the end of the year. For Virginia Woolf, I have three that I got free on Audible, but probably will only get to two of them, Orlando, and Mrs. Dalloway. 3mo

julieclair I have been looking forward to reading Starter Villain all month, and still haven‘t gotten to it. I think it may spill over into July. 😉😎 3mo

gossamerchild I think I'm going to read A Room of One's Own, as I've never actually read it. I read Orlando in college and it was...challenging, but fascinating. 3mo

May is almost over #AuthorAMonth readers. It seems most folks have really liked their Percival Everett books 🙂.

In a few days we‘ll be picking up John Scalzi. I‘m going to have to go to the library to see what they have, since annoyingly Amazon has rights to most of his recent books and audiobooks. That really bugs me. But still, I‘m looking forward to it because he always makes me laugh.

Less than a week left in March with Leigh Bardugo #AuthorAMonth readers! I really enjoyed my reads with Bardugo, and read more than I‘d planned to.

Now might be a good time for you to put in holds or orders for our April author, Kate Quinn.

Happy Reading 📚

AmyG I already started my April read! 6mo

TheSpineView Currently working on The Familiar. 25% in and still can't get into it. I loved the author's other books. Sigh... 😏 6mo

CatLass007 I‘ve got my copy of Kate Quinn‘s The Briar Club, which also is the April selection for #LiteraryCrew. I‘ve got three Leigh Bardugo books on this month‘s TBR, which I hope to start tomorrow. 6mo

AmyG @CatLass007 That‘s the one I am reading…Briar Club. It‘s good. 6mo

tpixie @Soubhiville I plan to read The Briar Club and The Huntress. I may re- read The Alice Network ( which I loved) , since a character in that is makes a cameo in The Huntress. 6mo

CatLass007 @AmyG Thanks for the encouragement! @tpixie The Huntress is currently free on Audible! 6mo

tpixie @CatLass007 oh wow! Thanks!! 6mo

CatLass007 @tpixie Welcome!! 6mo

DGRachel I‘m not part of the group, but just wanted to say I LOVE Kate Quinn. The Huntress was the first book my entire work book club enjoyed and it is one of my favorite books. ❤️ 6mo

tpixie @DGRachel great to hear! 6mo

willaful I've almost finished the Grishaverse! But am busy with the #TRansRightsReadathon now, so saving Rule of Wolves for next month. 6mo

CoffeeNBooks I'm looking forward to reading The Huntress- it's been on my bookshelf for too long. I really liked The Alice Network! 6mo

Sace I‘m hoping to finish Ninth House by Monday (having trouble getting into it) and the Literary Crew selection for April is by this month‘s author. 6mo

vonnie862 I was only able to get my hands on Ninth House, and unfortunately, I DNFed it. 6mo

Bklover I loved The Diamond Eye! 6mo

Yenya1954 The Huntress was amazing. Diamond Eye, The Rose Code and The Alice Network were also great books. 6mo

Andrew65 @Yenya1954 Agree, all excellent books. I hope to get to The Briar Club next month.

The Briar Club

6mo

julieclair Like several others, I‘ll be reading The Briar Club with #LiteraryCrew. And I never did get to read any Leigh Bardugo this month, so I‘m hoping to read at least one in April. 6mo

CatLass007 I enjoyed several of Leigh Bardugo‘s books this month. @Soubhiville will you please let the group know that there are at least six Kate Quinn books available for free on Audible. I‘m having a hard time narrowing things down to just a couple. (edited) 6mo

It‘s the last day of February #AuthorAMonth readers. I hope your time with Roxane Gay has been meaningful. I know she‘s not a gentle easy read.

Tomorrow we‘ll be picking up our March author Leigh Bardugo. Dropping into some fantasy!

I‘ll proofread the 2025 google form and attach it to tomorrow‘s post, for those ready to start tracking your books.

Have a great day, Happy Reading.

If you want to start thinking about February you may want to put a hold or order in for your Roxane Gay books. I highly recommend watching some of her interviews at various author events on YouTube as well. I‘ll post links to one or two in February. Happy Reading! 📚🙂❤️

Another year of #AuthorAMonth has almost ended. I can‘t believe it. 2025 will be our 7th year of reading authors nominated by and voted on by the Litsy community, celebrating and discovering new authors together!

Please be sure to go edit your AAM google form. I need everyone to do this, because I just looked at the spreadsheet and realized I forgot to ask for your Litsy names! 🤦

https://forms.gle/r6EydHX3GmrfYenA8. ⬇️

Soubhiville Also if you haven‘t yet, be sure to let me know below with a comment that you would like to be tagged on next year‘s AAM posts. (If you have already and you tell me again you‘ll get added to the list a second time.)

I will be drawing and announcing winners Saturday January 4th, and I‘ll post one more reminder on the 2nd. 9mo

Soubhiville One last reminder that we should be wrapping up with Sir Terry Pratchett tomorrow and finding Dorothy L Sayers titles for our first AAM of 2025.

Happy Reading Everyone! 9mo

#AuthorAMonth readers, we have come to the final week of 2024. Our final week of Terry Pratchett. I hope you‘ve found something you enjoyed by him.

With the New Year we will move on to our January author, Dorothy L Sayers. I‘ll be seeing what my library has by her, how about you?

It‘s also time to finalize your #AAM google form. I will be looking at results and drawing and announcing winners on January 4th. All the rules are on the form ⬇️

Soubhiville Can someone please comment that the link and form have worked ok for you? (Or haven‘t if that‘s the case) 9mo

Only two weeks left in 2024? Wow. I hope your time with Terry Pratchett is going well #AuthorAMonth readers!

In case you didn‘t know, there is a Discworld book that‘s Christmasy themed! Hogfather. And there is a movie adaptation, I believe available to watch on YouTube.

Reminders that our first author of 2025 is Dorothy L Sayers, to go to the last post under this book title to get the StoryGraph link, and get on next year‘s tag list.

It‘s December, our final 2024 #AuthorAMonth! Time to pull out our Terry Pratchett 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. (this prize can only be won once, there will be a different winner every year.) ⬇️ 10mo

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.

-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. ⬇️ 10mo

Soubhiville Once you start your Google form you will get an email confirmation. Hold on to that email, it gives you access to edit the form. You should also be able to access it through your Google Drive. I can not access it for you though, and if you can‘t get to the form you started my link will make you start a new form. It is up to you if you track monthly with the form or just fill it out at the end of the year. ⬇️ 10mo

See All 34 Comments

Soubhiville I won‘t be looking at it until January of 2025.

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:

https://forms.gle/r6EydHX3GmrfYenA8

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

A Stroke of the Pen: The Lost Stories

dariazeoli I‘ve got this one on my Kindle

Going Postal

10mo

Andrew65 I looking forward to reading a Terry Pratchett book this month, so far only read Good Omens that he co-authored. 10mo

Andrew65 @AllDebooks That seems an appropriate book for December, might check this one out. 10mo

AmyG Skipping as Pratchett is not for me. Enjoy everyone! 10mo

AllDebooks @Soubhiville 🙂 10mo

AllDebooks @Andrew65 🙂 I recommend his short stories. This was very good

10mo

bookwyrm7 Please add me to the tag list. I can't join this month but will do so next year. Are the prizes also for those in Europe, or only in a certain country? 10mo

JacqMac I bought a beautiful hardcover of this one and I can‘t wait to start.

Hogfather

10mo

Jess I just started A Stroke of a Pen on audio and it is so fun. The first story was read by David Tennent and the second by Claire Foy. Great start! 10mo

Larkken Yay! Love sir terry. I may start a discworld reread… we‘ll see 10mo

Soubhiville @bookwyrm7 you are added! I will ship to Europe for the big prize, for the smaller ones I‘m more likely to get a gift card to the bookstore of your choice, as overseas shipping from the states is really expensive. 10mo

Soubhiville @vonnie862 if you don‘t love the first Discworld book, don‘t let it put you off the rest. Most of his fans feel he didn‘t get his stride until a few books in and the first two aren‘t nearly as good. 10mo

Soubhiville @Jess I didn‘t know the audio had multiple narrators! I loved reading this one though, some great stories. 10mo

willaful Can you tag me for next year please? And I'll be reading The Truth this month, for #OokBookClub. 10mo

Soubhiville @willaful you‘re added 10mo

Andrew65 @AllDebooks Thanks, will see if I can get hold of this. 10mo

bookwyrm7 @Soubhiville Thanks! That's perfectly fine 👌 10mo

We‘re more than halfway through November #AuthorAMonth readers! I hope you‘re enjoying your time with Sarah Addison Allen. I‘m almost finished with my book for the month, Other Birds, and I really like it.

December brings us one of my very favorite authors, Terry Pratchett. I can‘t wait for you to experience him if it‘s your first time! If you need recommendations I‘ll make a couple in the comments. 🙂💛📚

AllDebooks I‘ve skipped this month, but I am so excited to read Terry Pratchett next month 😊 10mo

Soubhiville Terry Pratchett recommendations: If you are new to TP, he‘s best known for his Discworld series. I don‘t recommend starting with the first book however, as he didn‘t really develop his style and get his stride until a few books in. I think a great place to start is with the first Night Watch book-

Guards! Guards!

10mo

Soubhiville Guards! Guards! Can be read as a stand alone, or if you love the characters you can follow them into more adventures. Another great start would be the first Witches book, also can stand alone but can follow characters to additional books-

Equal Rites

10mo

Soubhiville If you love short stories I thoroughly enjoyed

A Stroke of the Pen: The Lost Stories

10mo

Soubhiville If you‘re a YA lover the first Tiffany Aching book is fun. It‘s also Discworld, also can stand alone but does start a series-

The Wee Free Men

10mo

TheSpineView I started The Sugar Queen yesterday. I had to wait on a library hold. Liking it so far. 10mo

AmyG I am going to skip Terry Pratchett…sadly, not for me. But I enjoyed this month‘s book

Lost Lake

10mo

Bookwormjillk Thanks for the recommendations! A new author for me. 10mo

PurpleyPumpkin I just finished this one today! Throughly enjoyed it. 😁

Garden Spells

10mo

Karisimo @Soubhiville thanks for the suggestion! 10mo

Yenya1954 I‘ve just borrowed The Long Earth. 10mo

Soubhiville @Yenya1954 I‘ll be interested in your opinion on that one. I liked it but it‘s very very different from his other stuff, as he‘s partnered with a scifi writer for it. Grammy M liked this series:

The Bromeliad Trilogy: Truckers, Diggers, and Wings

10mo

Soubhiville @vonnie862 see above for a few recommendations of good first-tastes of Discworld. 🙂 10mo

My Favorite Authors | Thomas Costley

Here is the big announcement #AuthorAMonth readers! Here are our 2025 authors!

The most votes went to Leigh Bardugo this year, then Kate Quinn, then Octavia Butler so I decided to include her as a repeat author.

What do you think? Who are you excited for? Any suggestions for different ways to run the voting next year?

Thank you all for your nominations and your votes. I‘m pleased with the 2025 list, should be some great reading.

Soubhiville @Bookwormjillk I don‘t think I‘ve read her since I was a teen! I remember reading Forever and trying to keep it hidden from parents and teachers. It was passed around my friend group as a Big Deal book! 10mo

tpixie @Soubhiville great list!!! Judy Blume‘s Are You There God It‘s Me Margaret was kept behind the school librarian‘s desk and we had to have written permission from our parents to be able to read it. Luckily my mom let me!! I just learned of a book about, not by Didion

I just voted and I‘m so excited. This is definitely a favorite yearly challenge. I always vote for authors on my tbr list but even if they don‘t get picked for the year I have always enjoyed finding new authors I love. So even if you don‘t vote or read an #authoramonth, I recommend trying it out for a month or two and learn about new to you authors! I‘m reading more books by authors read earlier this year like Klune and SA Cosby. @Soubhiville

gossamerchild Whoo hoo, voted! Thanks so much for putting this together! 10mo

It‘s time! Time for nominations for authors you‘d like to see us read for next year‘s #AuthorAMonth. Please comment with your suggestions. I‘ll give this post a week, the release the poll.

2025 will be our seventh year with this challenge! Wow.

Along with your nominations, please say if you would prefer that we have all new authors or if you think we could repeat some from previous years if they get enough votes. Suggestions appreciated. 🙂📚💛

TheBookHippie I can‘t imagine repeats would matter of some authors who have many many books. 11mo

TheBookHippie Shakespeare 👀♥️ I miss reading it regularly .. 11mo

TheBookHippie Allison Winn Scotch she has been such a voice for women I‘d love to honor her by reading her books, which are totally not my genre but look fun. 11mo

TheAromaofBooks I think some repeats would be good, especially now that it's been long enough that some of us weren't participating or even on Litsy at the beginning of the challenge haha maybe if it's been at least two or three years since they were on the list? Like @TheBookHippie said some authors have an extensive catalogue!! 11mo

AllDebooks I don't mind repeats 🙂 11mo

TheAromaofBooks I would suggest P.G. Wodehouse and Georgette Heyer for something more lighthearted. Mary Higgins Clark would be fun. 11mo

Susanita I guess this is a minority opinion, but there are so many authors out there, I‘d like all new authors. Either way, this year I‘ll just vote in the poll. 11mo

TheBookHippie Nora Ephron 11mo

Julsmarshall I‘m fine with repeats or all new. A few suggestions: Toni Morrison, Abby Jimenez, Kate Clayborn, Steven Rowley. 11mo

Bookwormjillk Ohhh I love researching and voting for these challenges I‘m good with repeating but maybe exclude those from the last 2-3 years. (edited) 11mo

Bookwormjillk My suggestions: jumping on Christine‘s Shakespeare idea and Vanessa Diffenbaugh, Kate Quinn, Silas House, Peter Heller, Beverly Cleary, Judy Blume, Kelly Corrigan, Adriana Trigiani, Rita Williams-Garcia, Ron Rash, David McCullough 11mo

Megabooks Dana Spiotta, Patricia Engel, Rebecca Solnit, Elizabeth McCracken, Jeff Guinn, Elizabeth Strout, Edith Wharton, Ron Rash, Meg Wolitzer, Kent Haruf, Edwidge Danticat, Bob Woodward, Curtis Sittenfield, Melissa Febos, Akwaeke Emezi

I would not mind one or two repeats, but I think we should stick with mainly new authors. Like @susanita said, there are so many out there! 11mo

dabbe Charles Dickens, Virginia Woolf, William Shakespeare, Ernest Hemingway, Gabriel Marquez, George Eliot, EM Forster, Thomas Hardy, Raymond Chandler, John le Carre, Sidney Sheldon, Nora Roberts, Robert Ludlum, Rex Stout, John Irving, Terry Pratchett, Willa Cather, H.G. Wells, Michael Crichton, Andy Weir, Herman Hesse, Dean Koontz, Dashiell Hammett, Joyce Carol Oates

Some old, some new(er) (nothing borrowed or blue, though!) 😂 11mo

TheSpineView Leigh Bardugo, Christina Lauren, Mariana Zapata, Helena Hunting, Carian Cole, Kristen Callihan, John Scalzi, TY 11mo

Amiable Would love to see some nonfiction authors in the mix for those of us who enjoy that genre. I‘ll have to ponder this and come up with a few suggestions. 11mo

TheSpineView Taylor Jenkins Reid, Kylie Scott, Meghan Quinn, Tracey Garvis Graves, Penelope Ward, Kaylee Ryan, Tessa Bailey, Molly Harper, Louise Bay, Ken Follett, James Michener, Jeffery Archer, Robin Hobb 11mo

Scochrane26 Wendell Berry (he has NF, fiction, poetry), Silas House 11mo

Deblovestoread Nickolas Butler, Liane Moriaty, Colm Tòibìn, Laird Hunt, Jeanette Winterson. I don‘t think any of these are repeat but I might be misremembering. Love getting introduced to new to me authors. 11mo

peaKnit How fun! Nikolas Butler, Sarah Addison Allen and Taylor Jenkins Reid.:) (and I see SAA is your author this month, I didn‘t even know oops!😬 but she‘s a favorite…serendipitous, I‘d like to join in the fun!) (edited) 11mo

Caroline2 I don‘t mind any repeats as I have missed some months. Elizabeth Strout, Edith Wharton, Toni Morrison, PG Wodehouse, Georgette Heyer would be great for me. 👍 11mo

vonnie862 Daphne Du Maurier, Neal Shusterman, Lisa See, Neil Gaiman, Alan Brennert, Grady Hendrix, Sandra Cisneros, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Gabriel Garcia Marquez 11mo

DHill Kurt Vonnegut, Dennis Lehane, Rachel Cusk, Han Kang 11mo

Melismatic Personally I agree with new authors but so long as there are no repeats from the last few years and the author has written a lot 🤷🏻‍♀️ — my favorite part of this challenge is discovering authors I‘d never think to try and adoring them. 11mo

Larkken Agree that prev authors would be great so long as they're not from ~ the last two years! I'm interested in delving into the back lists for Ben MacIntyre, Shakespeare, tananarive due, Ann Patchett, Mary Stewart, Louise erdrich, Dorothy sayers, Patrick Radden Keefe, martha wells, pico ayer, and Gail carriger. 11mo

Yenya1954 I prefer to have new authors because they challenge me to broaden my interest in new authors and genres. This is my first year and I‘m not sure who you‘ve read before. I like Dana Stabenow, Jodi Picoult, Chris Bohjalian, CJ Box, William Kent Krueger, Ann Cleeves, Lisa Unger. Really I don‘t mind reading any authors who are chosen. 11mo

DogMomIrene I‘ve never participated in this challenge. Even though repeats wouldn‘t be an issue for me, I like the idea of discovering authors new to me. 11mo

Sace I‘d really like to participate next year. I‘m open to any author. 11mo

Skygoddess1 I‘d be open to backlist (more than 3 years ago) authors. Here‘s a few suggestions: T. Kingfisher, Jay Kristoff, Marie Benedict, Peter Swanson, Percival Everett, Tananarive Due 11mo

AmyG I am open to anyone. But I am only going to read an author if I own a book. Thanks for doing this! 11mo

dariazeoli I‘m open for repeats! I also really appreciate the new authors this challenge has introduced me to each year. I‘d like to suggest Octavia Butler, Sally Rooney, Roxane Gay, and Joan Didion. 11mo

Welcome to November #AuthorAMonth readers! Time to pull out our Sarah Addison Allen books. What are you planning to read?

Soubhiville @AllDebooks I‘m doing well. I get back to a mostly normal work schedule tomorrow, which will be a relief. Processing is a daily thing, but mostly I‘m good. Thanks my friend! 11mo

TheSpineView I need to see what is available at the library. 11mo

AllDebooks @Soubhiville that's good to hear. Routine always helps. I can't imagine how stressful life has been. Thinking of you from across the pond! x 11mo

Garden Spells

11mo

CatLass007 It‘s free on Audible and I‘ve had it in my library for a long time.

Garden Spells

11mo

CatLass007 I live in East Tennessee. Johnson City was lucky. The same cannot be said for Elizabethton and Erwin. They found the body of the last missing Impact Plastics employee. FEMA is opening four more Disaster Recovery Centers. I think we‘re going to be in this for the long haul… I‘m glad things are starting to normalize for you, @Soubhiville 🩷 (edited) 11mo

vonnie862 I love her! 11mo

Bookwormjillk @CatLass007 We used to stay in Erwin to hike. It was shocking to see the pictures. 11mo

CatLass007 @Bookwormjillk Parts of Erwin were really nice. I hate that it‘s under water and I still find it shocking to have seen on the news that 50 people had to be airlifted off the roof of the hospital. And there was a story that I think took place in the Asheville area (but don‘t quote me on that) about a family who watched their house float down the river with their cat trapped on top. About a week later 🐈 and family were reunited. It just (cont)⬇️ 11mo

CatLass007 occurred to me that God or the Universe or whatever doesn‘t send things like this as a punishment for some transgression, as some on the religious right will be sure to say. Loudly. Maybe he allows things like this to happen to show us how to work together for the common good instead of fighting for the right to be right. 11mo

CatLass007 @Bookwormjillk Where do you hike now? Or do you even still hike? 11mo

Bookwormjillk @CatLass007 leave it to a cat to float away and come back. Hiking is harder now that the kids are teens with busy schedules so we mostly hike around home in Virginia. But we still usually get to Asheville or the Smokies once a year at least. 11mo

CatLass007 @bookwormjillk It‘s great that your family still hikes together. It sounds wonderful wherever you hike. 11mo

It‘s October #AuthorAMonth readers, time to dive into some books by Tana French.

I‘m not going to post all the rules today, my connection is spotty. But at least wanted to get this up. I‘m going to try tagging but honestly don‘t know if it will work, my apologies if it doesn‘t.

Still getting by in Asheville, but I am one of the lucky ones. Again if you are able to donate to relief efforts it‘s desperately needed.

Soubhiville @CatLass007 those are my 2 favorites by him. Enjoy! 13mo

IndoorDame I had no idea he‘d written so many different things! Having a hard time figuring out which of the less popular ones will be my style… already bailed on The Extraordinaries, currently trying In The Lives of Puppets which seems fun so far. 13mo

Caryl Like @dabbe and @AmandaBlaze, I‘m also reading for the first time

The House in the Cerulean Sea

13mo

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks This would be a good time to read 💫💛

In the Lives of Puppets

Babel: Or the Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of The Oxford Translators' Revolution

AllDebooks I loved Babel and Yellowface. I'm going to start The Poppy Wars trilogy

The Poppy War

Texreader I‘m reading both Babel and Poppy Wars right now. 1y

Laughterhp I‘m currently 30% into Babel! 1y

CatLass007 The Poppy War Trilogy is available on Audible as a collection. I‘m going to finish at least the first one and hope to listen to the entire trilogy this month. 1y

Jas16 Planning to read

Yellowface

Bookwormjillk I got Babel on audio. Looking forward to it. 1y

vlwelser Babel has been lingering on my bookshelf. This is an excellent reason to pull it out and tackle the giant beast. 1y

TheSpineView Plan to read

The Poppy War

Megabooks I started The Poppy War today. And I almost typed The Poopy War, which sounds much more like a children's book! 1y

Yenya1954 I read Yellowface. This was the only one my library had. 1y

vonnie862 Waiting on Babel! 1y

Soubhiville @Megabooks 🤣🤣 1y

Karisimo I loved Babel; didn‘t love Yellowface, so we‘ll see how The Poppy War fares. I‘m a few chapters in and like so far! 1y

gossamerchild @Megabooks I like this version :-D 1y

thegreensofa For me

Yellowface

BarkingMadRead I‘ll be reading Babel as well!! 1y

gossamerchild I'm also reading Babel! 🤣🤣 1y

TheBookHippie I‘ll see you in August 🙃 1y

vlwelser Razorblade Tears was amazing. So glad this author made the list. Also doing Babel next month. 1y

CBee I might need to finally read Babel as well! 1y

CatLass007 I‘ve listened to My Darkest Prayer and Razorblade Tears. Both were excellent. I‘d like to get to Brokedown Prophets before the end of the month. For July, I have The Complete Poppy War Trilogy in one volume. It‘s 66 hours and 29 minutes long. I don‘t know if I‘ll make it through the entire trilogy this month but it‘s not out of the question. 1y

Jess Cosby was a win. I had read one and finished two others this month. I immediately went out and bought My Darkest Prayer for later reading. Cosby is now an auto buy. Thanks for whoever nominated him! Not sure about July. May just read

My Darkest Prayer

vonnie862 I'm almost done with my book for this month, and I have July's ready. 🤗 1y

Bookwormjillk Add me to team Babel! I have two more weeks on my library hold which is just about perfect! 1y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Love this author 💙 1y

Soubhiville @CatLass007 wow that‘s a lot of hours! I‘ll be mighty impressed if you finish. Although I guess I often get close to that many hours in a month if I am able to listen while I work. 1y

Yenya1954 Yellowface is the one I have chosen—it was the only one at my local library. 1y

My Darkest Prayer

CatLass007 Razorblade Tears, My Darkest Prayer, and Brokedown Prophets. I‘m hoping I get to them all. 1y
