I buy and sell vintage items and i came across these cool author card games. The top one is from 1938 and the bottom one is around the same time. I may be holding on to these!

My University is holding a literary festival in October and I‘ve just been given a sneaky look at the draft programme! It looks awesome and includes Val McDermid, Kit de Waal, Colm Toibin, Paul Du Noyer and Sebastian Barry!!! I can‘t wait. Those in NW England I‘ll post link to programme once it‘s all confirmed and hopefully others can come! It‘s the weekend 19-21 October 😁
I saw this on Instagram. Yes, please do these things. 😘😘😘 I‘ll also add to post a review or blurb on Litsy. ❤️

I was tagged by @merelybookish and I turned it into a bit of a process. First, I made a huge list of authors I would recommend. Then I took off authors who've only written one book I've actually read. Then I removed children's and YA authors. And finally, I removed any authors that I've seen someone else list for this prompt. I had twelve left, so two got the boot! If you'd like to do this, consider yourself tagged! #10authorrecommendations
I was tagged 3 times for #10authorrecommendations but I have the HARDEST TIME bc I think to recommend an author as opposed to a book I have to have read at least 2 books by them & liked both. Bc I transitioned from children's books to Classics for MANY YEARS and only got deeply into contemporary fiction more recently, that list is mostly classics authors, some of which I wouldn't universally recommend, you know? SO TOUGH! This=best I could do 😆
