It‘s time again, unbelievably, to think about next year‘s #AuthorAMonth! Please nominate authors you would like to see highlighted in the comments. I will organize them into genre categories again, I felt like that worked well for this year, so if you are inclined you can include the genre you think the author fits best (you don‘t have to, I will look them up if necessary)

Poll to follow in a week or so! (Genre List ⬇️)

Happy October #AuthorAMonth readers! My post is late this month as I had a visit from my sister and my Mom just moved in with me. I hope you‘ve already picked up your October author, Octavia Butler. Please take care of yourself while reading, as she goes dark and her fiction feels timely as she addresses inequality and other fights we are currently in politically.

What are you hoping to read?

(Feel free to welcome @Yenya1954 to WNC!)

TheBookHippie Having read her books -I‘m sitting this out. All are very good. However use caution… Parable of the Sower especially. 1mo

TheBookHippie How lovely to have visits and I hope it goes well with your mom getting settled. 1mo

Bookwormjillk I hope your mom enjoys WNC. I‘m going to read Parable of the Talents for the first time. While Sower was tough it was also a tiny bit hopeful. 1mo

Bklover @vlwelser You aren‘t the only one- I‘m reading Kindred too😉 1mo

Sace I have Parable of the Sower and Wild Seed in mind. Reading the comments I might opt for Wild Seed. 1mo

gossamerchild Ooof, I was planning on reading Parable of the Talents, but I'm doubting whether or not I can handle this right now. I loved Fledgling, though. 1mo

We are nearing the end of September #AuthorAMonth readers. About a week left with Kurt Vonnegut.

October brings us to Octavia Butler, and I‘m already seeing quite a lot of people excited for her. This is her second time being on our list. 📚 Get your library holds or orders in.

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!

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.

If This Isn't Nice, What Is?: Advice to the Young: The Graduation Speeches

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.

Susanita I tried her once before but didn‘t get very far. This time I‘m going with

A Room of One's Own

5mo

Bookwormjillk Zoinks! I need to get going on June! 5mo

Caroline2 Oh good idea @Susanita I might copy you. 👍 5mo

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. 5mo

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. 😁 5mo

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

5mo

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. 5mo

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

5mo

willaful @Deblovestoread Agreed! I tried to read Fuzzy Nation but really didn't see the need for another version of Little Fuzzy. 5mo

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. 5mo

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. 😉😎 5mo

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. 4mo

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.

It‘s February #AuthorAMonth readers. This month we‘ll be celebrating Roxane Gay. What are you planning to read?

I haven‘t gotten to this year‘s Google form yet. I will try to do that by my mid month post so you can start recording what you‘ve read. In the meantime, if you use StoryGraph here‘s the link to the challenge there:

We‘re halfway through January already #AuthorAMonth readers. I hope you‘re enjoying your time with Dorothy L Sayers.

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! 📚🙂❤️

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. 10mo

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.

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 ⬇️

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.

My Favorite Authors | Thomas Costley

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.) ⬇️ 11mo

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. ⬇️ 11mo

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. ⬇️ 11mo

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!

Father Christmas�s Fake Beard

11mo

Soubhiville @AllDebooks that sounds fun! 11mo

A Stroke of the Pen: The Lost Stories

Hogfather

11mo

vonnie862 I think I'm going to start with the first book in the Discworld series. 11mo

dariazeoli I‘ve got this one on my Kindle

Going Postal

11mo

Andrew65 I looking forward to reading a Terry Pratchett book this month, so far only read Good Omens that he co-authored. 11mo

Andrew65 @AllDebooks That seems an appropriate book for December, might check this one out. 11mo

AmyG Skipping as Pratchett is not for me. Enjoy everyone! 11mo

AllDebooks @Soubhiville 🙂 11mo

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

11mo

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? 11mo

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

Hogfather

11mo

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! 11mo

Larkken Yay! Love sir terry. I may start a discworld reread… we‘ll see 11mo

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. 11mo

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. 11mo

Soubhiville @Jess I didn‘t know the audio had multiple narrators! I loved reading this one though, some great stories. 11mo

willaful Can you tag me for next year please? And I'll be reading The Truth this month, for #OokBookClub. 11mo

Soubhiville @willaful you‘re added 11mo

Andrew65 @AllDebooks Thanks, will see if I can get hold of this. 11mo

bookwyrm7 @Soubhiville Thanks! That's perfectly fine 👌 11mo

vonnie862 @Soubhiville I've been debating of where to start 11mo

DHill Just started

My Favorite Authors | Thomas Costley

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 😊 12mo

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!

12mo

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

12mo

Soubhiville If you love short stories I thoroughly enjoyed

A Stroke of the Pen: The Lost Stories

12mo

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

12mo

TheSpineView I started The Sugar Queen yesterday. I had to wait on a library hold. Liking it so far. 12mo

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

Lost Lake

12mo

Bookwormjillk Thanks for the recommendations! A new author for me. 12mo

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

Garden Spells

12mo

Karisimo @Soubhiville thanks for the suggestion! 12mo

Yenya1954 I‘ve just borrowed The Long Earth. 12mo

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

12mo

Soubhiville @vonnie862 see above for a few recommendations of good first-tastes of Discworld. 🙂 11mo

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.

Didion and Babitz

12mo

BookwormAHN Nice 😺 12mo

CatLass007 This is great! There‘s a wonderful mix of familiar authors and new authors. I look forward to them all!! 12mo

CatLass007 @dabbe @Soubhiville I feel the same about Forever, although I learned never to lend books to anyone at an early age. 12mo

DHill Great list! So excited for 2025. Thank you @Soubhiville ! 12mo

dabbe @CatLass007 True that! 😂 12mo

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

TheBookHippie I can‘t imagine repeats would matter of some authors who have many many books. 12mo

TheBookHippie Shakespeare 👀♥️ I miss reading it regularly .. 12mo

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. 12mo

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!! 12mo

AllDebooks I don't mind repeats 🙂 12mo

TheAromaofBooks I would suggest P.G. Wodehouse and Georgette Heyer for something more lighthearted. Mary Higgins Clark would be fun. 12mo

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. 12mo

TheBookHippie Nora Ephron 12mo

Julsmarshall I‘m fine with repeats or all new. A few suggestions: Toni Morrison, Abby Jimenez, Kate Clayborn, Steven Rowley. 12mo

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) 12mo

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 12mo

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! 12mo

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!) 😂 12mo

TheSpineView Leigh Bardugo, Christina Lauren, Mariana Zapata, Helena Hunting, Carian Cole, Kristen Callihan, John Scalzi, TY 12mo

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. 12mo

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 12mo

Scochrane26 Wendell Berry (he has NF, fiction, poetry), Silas House 12mo

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. 12mo

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) 12mo

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. 👍 12mo

vonnie862 Daphne Du Maurier, Neal Shusterman, Lisa See, Neil Gaiman, Alan Brennert, Grady Hendrix, Sandra Cisneros, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Gabriel Garcia Marquez 12mo

DHill Kurt Vonnegut, Dennis Lehane, Rachel Cusk, Han Kang 12mo

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. 12mo

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. 12mo

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. 12mo

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. 12mo

Sace I‘d really like to participate next year. I‘m open to any author. 12mo

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 12mo

AmyG I am open to anyone. But I am only going to read an author if I own a book. Thanks for doing this! 12mo

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. 12mo

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! 12mo

TheSpineView I need to see what is available at the library. 12mo

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 12mo

Garden Spells

12mo

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

Garden Spells

12mo

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) 12mo

vonnie862 I love her! 12mo

Bookwormjillk @CatLass007 We used to stay in Erwin to hike. It was shocking to see the pictures. 12mo

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)⬇️ 12mo

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. 12mo

CatLass007 @Bookwormjillk Where do you hike now? Or do you even still hike? 12mo

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. 12mo

CatLass007 @bookwormjillk It‘s great that your family still hikes together. It sounds wonderful wherever you hike. 12mo

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.

The House in the Cerulean Sea

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks This would be a good time to read 💫💛
