authorAMonth

July is here #AuthorAMonth readers! It‘s time to try a classic with Virginia Woolf. I‘m going with one of her short books on Serial Reader. What do you plan to read?

#AuthorAMonth is a no pressure challenge to honor Litsy nominated and voted upon authors. There are several prizes at the end of the year. Track your reading and see the rules on the google sheet linked below.

As always let me know if you‘d like to be added or taken off the list.📚

Mrs Dalloway

willaful I've never had any luck reading Woolf. What would people say is her most accessible book? 2d

AmyG I am going to pass this month as I will be on vacation. 2d

vonnie862 I've never read her before. I wonder which book to choose. 2d

AllDebooks #VirginiaBloomsberries are reading

To the Lighthouse

AllDebooks @willaful @vonnie862 I would suggest one of he early novels The Voyage Out or Night and Day or a short story collection. 2d

willaful @AllDebooks thanks! 2d

MemoirsForMe I‘ll be joining the party and reading To the Lighthouse. Maybe even

A Writer's Diary

MemoirsForMe @AmyG Happy Vacationing! ❤️🎉🏖️ 2d

CatLass007 Orlando, Mrs. Dalloway, and A Writer‘s Diary are free on Audible. Orlando and Mrs. Dalloway are my priorities, and I might at least begin A Writer‘s Diary. 2d

tpixie It‘s only 12 issues on Serial Reader

A Room of One's Own

vlwelser I have an old copy of this that has been hiding in my secret TBR cupboard.

Jacob's Room

AmyG @MemoirsForMe Thank You! 1d

Melismatic Giving Serial Reader a try! Thanks for the suggestion! Starting with Monday or Tuesday and then perhaps tackling Mrs Dalloway 1d

King of Ashes | S. A. Cosby

I doubt I‘ve ever tried to read six books at the same time. But here I am giving it a try! It‘s too hard to pass up a good reading challenge! And I haven‘t even started my books I‘ve picked out for #Authoramonth this month.

Starter Villain | John Scalzi

pick

I almost skipped this month because this seemed way outside what I typically enjoy. But I decided to give it a try and found it to be a lot of fun. It's a quick, lighthearted, quirky read that gave me Megamind and Despicable Me vibes. Genius cats, foul-mouthed dolphins demanding unionization, and a secret volcanic island lair all make for a bizarre and clever adventure. #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville

Soubhiville Glad you tried it! Scalzi is always clever and quirky. 🙂 5d

AmyG I loved this book. So absurd and fun! 5d

Miniatures: The Very Short Fiction of John Scalzi | John Scalzi

Absolutely hilarious collection of short science fiction. Not much plotwise, more satiric vibes. The gossip of intelligent machines was a high point.

#AuthorAMonth

Soubhiville

Soubhiville Oh fun! This is the first I‘ve seen of this! 6d

willaful @Soubhiville I think it may be rather hard to find. None of my Libby libraries had it but my local library had a limited edition print copy! 6d

When the Moon Hits Your Eye | John Scalzi

pick

I am a big Scalzi fan and have read many of his books. This one didn't land as well for me. The first half really pulled me in, and then it started to drag a little. I did enjoy the vignettes of someone's life each day of the moon crisis. My favorites were the billionaire and the cheese feud.

My first time reading two #authoramonth books in a month! @Soubhiville

Soubhiville Good for you! 📚🙂 6d
