bailed

I tried Virginia Woolf for the first time and she is definitely not for me. I hope other #AuthorAMonth readers have better luck!

TheBookHippie 🙃 I adore her. Sorry it didn‘t work for you. 1d

Soubhiville @TheBookHippie It‘s ok! I‘ve found so many other authors through #AAM, there‘s bound to be one that misses every once in a while. 📚🙂 (edited) 1d

Sace I feel better seeing this. I‘ve spent today debating whether to bail or not. I might give her one more day, but I‘ve been struggling with her. 1d

ChaoticMissAdventures I liked her Mrs Dalloway, but her racism has always been an issue with me and I have struggled to get into any others. 1d

Soubhiville @Sace I felt like the language was too dense. I was trying so hard to understand what she meant that it wasn‘t enjoyable at all. Did people ever talk like this or was she trying to make her works somewhat inaccessible? I‘d love to hear theories. 1d

AmyG Yeah, I read one of her books, forgot which one, but she is not for me either. 1d

PurpleyPumpkin This is great! As I was listening to the audiobook and realized there was a recipe for each character, I thought about checking to see if there was a list of the recipes somewhere online. But I didn‘t get around to it. 😅 Thanks for sharing! 🍌🍍🍒😂 2d

tpixie @PurpleyPumpkin yes! 👏🏻 I‘ve received an email about it today so I had to share!! 📘 2d

Mrs. Dalloway | Virginia Woolf

I chose the tagged book for July #authoramonth, but I wasn‘t having any luck with just an eyeball read or just listening. So now I am following along in the book while I listen and it seems to be helping.

Haroun and the Sea of Stories | Salman Rushdie

I‘ve wanted to read Salman Rushdie for a while and I‘ve been told that the tagged book is a good place to start with this author. It‘s not the only one from him on my shelf though.

coffees I stopped keeping a long term TBR so I can't think of anyone...🤔 Lol! 2d

TheBookHippie This one was my first by him. I‘ve now read it all. Some I love some it depended when I read it.

Midnight's Children

Sace @coffees I try not to do a long term TBR either. More month by month. 2d

Sace @TheBookHippie oh that one is on my shelf too! 2d

dabbe I adored this book. 💙 2d

Sace @dabbe glad to hear! Rushdie is an author who intimidates me. 2d

dabbe @Sace Me, too. That's why I read this one of #authoramonth. I can't wait to read what you think about it. 2d

BookmarkTavern Oh I‘ve had Rushdie on my list for a while too! Thanks for posting! 2d

June | Lori Copeland

So, I‘m very behind in reviews for June & procrastination has continued its hold on me but until I get them done, here‘s my June recap. Work, life, a dead Kindle & family visits mean I didn‘t get as much read as I wanted, but I ended up finishing 12 books + 3 more in process.

I did manage to finish books for #SundayBuddyRead #NancyDrewBR #EBBR #BobWhiteBuddies #FictionalTravel #SeasonalCozies #CampLitsy2025 #AuthorAMonth & 2 #Roll100 books ⬇️

Megabooks, Riveted_Reader_Melissa, TheBookHippie, Librarybelle, squirrelbrain, BarbaraBB, Ruthiella, TheAromaofBooks, PuddleJumper, julieclair

DebinHawaii … with 3 books I‘m finishing up in July including ones for #SheSaid & my final #Roll100 pick + one for Leadership at work. My top 3 favorites were Starter Villain, Wild Dark Shore & Ash, although I think that I Who Have Not Known Men will be right up there. Hopefully I‘ll get the reviews posted soon, along with my July TBR. 5d

Librarybelle You still read well for June! 5d

Ruthiella I agree with @Librarybelle ! Good results despite the challenges. 👍 4d

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Fantastic month!! 4d

julieclair Still a good month! I didn‘t get to Starter Villain in June. Hoping I can fit it in to July. 🤞 4d

My Favorite Authors | Thomas Costley

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? 7d

AmyG I am going to pass this month as I will be on vacation. 7d

vonnie862 I've never read her before. I wonder which book to choose. 7d

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. 7d

willaful @AllDebooks thanks! 7d

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

A Writer's Diary

MemoirsForMe @AmyG Happy Vacationing! ❤️🎉🏖️ 7d

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. 7d

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! 6d

Melismatic Giving Serial Reader a try! Thanks for the suggestion! Starting with Monday or Tuesday and then perhaps tackling Mrs Dalloway 6d

tpixie I‘ve been hoping to do a mini immersion with Virginia Woolf. So hopefully I can take advantage of this month and do it! 6d

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.
