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.) ⬇️ 3w

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. ⬇️ 3w

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. ⬇️ 3w

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:

vonnie862 I think I'm going to start with the first book in the Discworld series. 3w

dariazeoli I‘ve got this one on my Kindle

Going Postal

3w

Andrew65 I looking forward to reading a Terry Pratchett book this month, so far only read Good Omens that he co-authored. 3w

Andrew65 @AllDebooks That seems an appropriate book for December, might check this one out. 3w

AmyG Skipping as Pratchett is not for me. Enjoy everyone! 3w

AllDebooks @Soubhiville 🙂 3w

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

A Stroke of the Pen: The Lost Stories

3w

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? 3w

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

Hogfather

3w

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! 3w

Larkken Yay! Love sir terry. I may start a discworld reread… we‘ll see 3w

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. 3w

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. 3w

Soubhiville @Jess I didn‘t know the audio had multiple narrators! I loved reading this one though, some great stories. 3w

willaful Can you tag me for next year please? And I'll be reading The Truth this month, for #OokBookClub. 3w

Soubhiville @willaful you‘re added 3w

Andrew65 @AllDebooks Thanks, will see if I can get hold of this. 3w

bookwyrm7 @Soubhiville Thanks! That's perfectly fine 👌 3w

vonnie862 @Soubhiville I've been debating of where to start 3w

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 😊 1mo

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!

1mo

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

1mo

Soubhiville If you love short stories I thoroughly enjoyed

A Stroke of the Pen: The Lost Stories

1mo

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

1mo

TheSpineView I started The Sugar Queen yesterday. I had to wait on a library hold. Liking it so far. 1mo

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

Lost Lake

1mo

Bookwormjillk Thanks for the recommendations! A new author for me. 1mo

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

Garden Spells

1mo

Karisimo @Soubhiville thanks for the suggestion! 1mo

Yenya1954 I‘ve just borrowed The Long Earth. 1mo

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

1mo

Soubhiville @vonnie862 see above for a few recommendations of good first-tastes of Discworld. 🙂 3w

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.

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. 2mo

TheBookHippie Shakespeare 👀♥️ I miss reading it regularly .. 2mo

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. 2mo

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!! 2mo

AllDebooks I don't mind repeats 🙂 2mo

TheAromaofBooks I would suggest P.G. Wodehouse and Georgette Heyer for something more lighthearted. Mary Higgins Clark would be fun. 2mo

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. 2mo

TheBookHippie Nora Ephron 2mo

Julsmarshall I‘m fine with repeats or all new. A few suggestions: Toni Morrison, Abby Jimenez, Kate Clayborn, Steven Rowley. 2mo

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) 2mo

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 2mo

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! 2mo

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!) 😂 2mo

TheSpineView Leigh Bardugo, Christina Lauren, Mariana Zapata, Helena Hunting, Carian Cole, Kristen Callihan, John Scalzi, TY 2mo

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. 2mo

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 2mo

Scochrane26 Wendell Berry (he has NF, fiction, poetry), Silas House 2mo

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. 2mo

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) 2mo

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. 👍 2mo

vonnie862 Daphne Du Maurier, Neal Shusterman, Lisa See, Neil Gaiman, Alan Brennert, Grady Hendrix, Sandra Cisneros, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Gabriel Garcia Marquez 2mo

DHill Kurt Vonnegut, Dennis Lehane, Rachel Cusk, Han Kang 2mo

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. 2mo

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. 2mo

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. 2mo

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. 2mo

Sace I‘d really like to participate next year. I‘m open to any author. 2mo

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 2mo

AmyG I am open to anyone. But I am only going to read an author if I own a book. Thanks for doing this! 1mo

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. 1mo

Welcome to November #AuthorAMonth readers! Time to pull out our Sarah Addison Allen 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 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.

The Firefly Dance

2mo

AllDebooks How are you Soubhi, been a tough few months with the storms in your region? 2mo

dabbe Thanks for all you do! Hope things are going better for you, too. 🧡🍁💛 2mo

Bookwormjillk Thank you! Not a day goes by where I don't think about you all in WNC. 2mo

dariazeoli I am also trying

Other Birds: A Novel

2mo

Texreader Starting with

The Girl Who Chased the Moon

2mo

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! 2mo

TheSpineView I need to see what is available at the library. 2mo

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 2mo

PurpleyPumpkin Since it‘s been on my audiobook TBR for ages, I‘m aiming to read

Garden Spells

2mo

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

Garden Spells

2mo

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) 2mo

vonnie862 I love her! 2mo

Bookwormjillk @CatLass007 We used to stay in Erwin to hike. It was shocking to see the pictures. 2mo

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)⬇️ 2mo

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. 2mo

CatLass007 @Bookwormjillk Where do you hike now? Or do you even still hike? 2mo

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. 2mo

CatLass007 @bookwormjillk It‘s great that your family still hikes together. It sounds wonderful wherever you hike. 2mo

How is October halfway over already? My mind has been elsewhere this month (understandably), but I hope you‘re enjoying your Tana French books #AuthorAMonth readers.

Reminder that November‘s author is Sarah Addison Allen, in case you want to place your orders or library holds now.

Happy Reading!

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.

gossamerchild Waiting for my preorder of Somewhere Beyond the Sea to come in! 4mo

CatLass007 Two of my holds came in today: The House in the Cerulean Sea and Under the Whispering Door. 4mo

Soubhiville @CatLass007 those are my 2 favorites by him. Enjoy! 4mo

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. 4mo

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

The House in the Cerulean Sea

4mo

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks This would be a good time to read 💫💛

In the Lives of Puppets

4mo

Scochrane26 I forgot he is the author this month. I love TJ! Got to meet him when In the Lives of Puppets came out. Btw, he‘ll be in Nashville in October for the book festival. I‘m planning to read Somewhere Beyond the Sea when it comes out next week! (edited) 4mo

Welcome to August #AuthorAMonth readers! Time to pull out our Sarah Waters books. What are you planning to read?

I have to say I‘m very excited, Tipping the Velvet is one of my favorite books of all time. It‘s quite 🌶️!

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.

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. 6mo

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

Welcome to April #AuthorAMonth readers! Time to pull out our Ruth Ozeki 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 each month. (this prize can only be won once, there will be a different winner every year.) ⬇️ 9mo

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. ⬇️
9mo

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. ⬇️ 9mo

See All 39 Comments

Soubhiville It is up to you if you track monthly with the form or just fill it out at the end of the year. 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:⬇️ 9mo

Heads up #AuthorAMonth readers 🙂. We‘re 2/3 of the way through March and you all have read a lot of Jane Harper! She seems to mostly be a hit.

As we inch closer to April, you may want to place your library hold or order for Ruth Ozeki books. It will be my first experience with her, and I‘m looking forward to it!

Happy Reading 📚🙂💚.

AmyG All set for Ozeki! I think it was you who gave me

The Book of Form and Emptiness: A Novel

9mo

Soubhiville @AmyG yes, that‘s a chunky one! 9mo

Yenya1954 I‘ve never read any of Ruth Ozeki‘s writings. I just reserved “A Tale for the Time Being.” 9mo

KadaGul @Soubhiville I'm sorry 😢 to say that I won't be able to continue being a part of the AuthorAMonth book club. Things have been getting pretty hectic lately, and with school 🏫 and summer 🌞coming up, it will only get busier. 9mo

Soubhiville @KadaGul no worries! Do you want me to take you off the tag list? I‘m glad you got to read along with us for a bit. Come back in anytime! 9mo

KadaGul @Soubhiville, If it's not too much trouble, could you please remove me from the list? I will rejoin once things have settled down. 9mo

CatLass007 I haven‘t gotten to the Lauren Groff book I had chosen. I‘ve felt pressured all month to get everything done before the end of the month. And that pressure is self-imposed. Plus February, even in a leap year, is a short month. Not enough time to get everything done that I want to do. But I am looking forward to Dry by Jane Harper. (edited) 10mo

CatLass007 Since I won‘t be doing the challenge portion, I don‘t think it‘s vital that I fill out the Google form. I already have my Lauren Groff book, The Vaster Wilds! 11mo

Gissy Thank you! I completed the form with books read in January 2024🤗I‘m planning to read, but not 100% sure, more books by this author but later in the year, as part of another reading goal. 11mo

Soubhiville @CatLass007 you may want to do the Google form if you‘d like to be eligible for the prize drawing. Everyone who reads at least one book is automatically entered, but I go by the form to draw winners. 🙂 11mo

Soubhiville I hope to read the tagged, if I have time to get to it this month. It‘s the only book of Groff‘s I haven‘t read yet:

Delicate Edible Birds: And Other Stories

dabbe @Deblovestoread Thanks; I'll look into it! 🤩😍🤗 11mo

Julsmarshall I‘ve got an ARC of Vaster Wilds and Florida on audio so I have a couple to read this month:) 11mo

peanutnine I'm planning to read Monsters of Templeton since I got a copy from a used book sale a while back. I'd also like to try to get to Fates and Furies if I have time, it was recommended highly on my favorite book podcast 11mo

LiteraryHoarderPenny @peanutnine Monsters of Templeton is my absolute favourite by Groff. Loved it! 11mo

Jess I got a head start and just finished Arcadia on audio (a low pick for me) and have Fates and Furies and Monsters of Templeton on my shelves so hope to read both this month. 11mo

peanutnine @LiteraryHoarderPenny oh yay, that makes me more excited to read it! 11mo

TheSpineView This author is going to be hard for me. I tried to read Fates and Furies a few years back and ended up bailing on it. I think it will just be whatever is available at the library. 11mo

Yenya1954 I enjoyed Delicate Edible Birds and other stories. 11mo

Bookzombie I‘m going to read Monsters of Templeton. 11mo

DHill I‘ll be reading

The Vaster Wilds

11mo

gossamerchild I'm reading Florida and I'm already sucked in! 11mo

Melismatic Unsure which I‘ll start with but Groff does have a short story available for free on KU 💪🏻💖 Tagged

Boca Raton

11mo

Jas16 I am planning on reading

Arcadia

11mo

AmandaBlaze I really liked Arcadia, but I think I'll go with TheVaster Wilds. 11mo

Caroline2 Oh think I‘ll do Vaster Wilds. 👍 11mo

We have a little more than a week left in January #AuthorAMonth readers. 🙂 I hope you‘re enjoying reading Jane Austen‘s books.

Quick reminder that February will be Lauren Groff‘s month of recognition. Do you need to put a hold on a book from your library or place an order with your local indie bookseller?

I‘ll be posting the 2024 google sheet at the end of January.

Happy reading!

Megabooks Ordered this but I may have read it years ago. I also plan to try one of her earlier novels on audio!

Delicate Edible Birds: And Other Stories

11mo

Soubhiville @tpixie @fredthemoose @BeckyWithTheGoodBooks @throwmeabook @CBee @Andrew65 @Yenya1954 @Read-y_Picker @AmandaBlaze 11mo

Soubhiville @Megabooks I think that‘s the only one I haven‘t read yet, so I hope I will read that as well 🙂. 11mo

Jess I have Arcadia, Monsters of Templeton and Fates and Furies on my shelves. We shall see what I get through. 11mo

Deblovestoread I‘ll start with Florida and maybe get to this one too

The Vaster Wilds

11mo

CatLass007 I started Emma in November but I‘m only 1/3 of the way through. I‘m probably not going to finish it this month. 11mo

CBee @Soubhiville could you email me your new address please? I‘d like to (eventually) send you something 😊 it‘s cydneybean@gmail.com. 11mo

IndoorDame My hold on The Vaster Wilds just came in yesterday. I‘m super excited about it since it‘s on my #auldlangspine list and I‘ve never read anything by Groff before. 11mo

CatLass007 Does anyone have any recommendation(s) for my first book by Lauren Groff? 11mo

AmyG @CatLass007 I can only say my first Groff was Monsters of Templeton and I loved it. I am going to read Florida and maybe, MAYBE, Arcadia. 11mo

Soubhiville @CatLass007 if you like short stories, Florida is my favorite by her. If you prefer novels I thought The Vaster Wilds was great. 11mo

AmandaBlaze I couldn't get into Northanger Abbey. I'll probably try again some day. I'm going to read Vaster Wilds for February. I loved Arcadia. 11mo

CatLass007 @AmyG @Soubhiville Thank you both. I think I prefer novels over short stories. It‘s hard to be invested in the characters in the short form. But if I like the novel I choose, I‘m more likely to choose books by the same author. 11mo

AmyG @Soubhiville OOOO thrilled to know how good Florida is. (edited) 11mo

Bklover I have The Vaster Wilds that I don‘t even remember buying, but I‘d like to try Florida as well. 11mo

Laughterhp I own the vaster Wilds, so I‘m going to read that and try fates and furies because I own that one as well! 11mo

dariazeoli I‘ll be finishing Pride & Prejudice this week! My first Groff will be audio:

Fates and Furies: A Novel

11mo

Melismatic Looking forward to Feb as I‘ve never read any Groff! 💖 11mo

Larkken Ooh good timing, I just got Vaster Wilds from the library! 11mo

Gissy I think I missed the link 11mo

Soubhiville @Gissy I haven‘t posted the link to the form yet. I will be posting it for the first time at the end of this month. 11mo

Yenya1954 Thanks! I just reserved one! 11mo

Gissy @Soubhiville Thank you🤗 11mo

Morr_Books I can't believe I haven't picked up an Austen yet. I guess there is still a little time.... 11mo

Bluebird I‘m reading an annotated version of Pride and Prejudice, nearly done. I am a bit nervous about Groff. I bailed on the Vaster Wilds at about 15%-despite it being read by one of my favorite narrators. I have Monsters of Templeton and Edible Birds on hold at the library-will see what comes up. 11mo

Preparing for #authoramonth for 2024 is proving difficult. I have very few books by these authors. Husband has most of Pratchett‘s books, so he‘s going to help me pick for December. But otherwise, I‘ll be looking for suggestions.

Other than Emma, I‘ve not read books by Jane Austen. I‘m about 1/3 into Pride and Prejudice and I‘m enjoying it very much. I‘m pleasantly surprised (& some authors not so much—Rushdie). That‘s why I love this challenge!

Soubhiville

TEArificbooks For SA Cosby, I loved Razorblade Tears so I have his new one pulled for that month 12mo

TEArificbooks For Emily St John I loved Station 11 and Sea of Tranquility 12mo

Texreader @TEArificbooks Thanks!!! 12mo

See All 14 Comments

TEArificbooks For Tana French I liked In the Woods the first in a series. They made it into a tv show but the mixed two books into the first season so you might want to read both books before watching 12mo

Texreader @TEArificbooks I actually bailed on that Tana French book. I got so bored. Any others? 12mo

TEArificbooks @Texreader I did like The Dry and every Sarah Addison Allen that you already have there. Only read the one French so far but I have The Witch Elm pulled for it. 12mo

Texreader @TEArificbooks I‘m really struggling with Sarah Waters. Every book that looks interesting to me has poor reviews that I‘d likely agree with (they are too slow-a complaint I take to heart). Have you read anything you liked by her? 12mo

Texreader Kuang‘s Babel was on my tbr, so I‘ve easily added that one. 12mo

CBee @Texreader a lot of Littens really like Fingersmith by Waters. Anything by Cosby is bound to be amazing. The Aaron Falk series by Jane Harper is good. 12mo

CBee Kuang‘s Yellowface was amazing, and my favorite by Klune is The House on the Cerulean Sea (Under the Whispering Door is also so good). 12mo

TEArificbooks @Texreader never read Waters but had many friends recommend Fingersmith 12mo

Texreader @CBee Thank you!! I‘m pretty sure my son has House on the Cerulean Sea so I‘ve stacked that one. And thanks for all the recommendations. Really appreciated! 12mo

Amiable @Texreader If you couldn‘t get into Tana French‘s Dublin Squad series, try “The Searcher” or “The Witch Elm.” They aren‘t related to the series. 12mo

CBee @Texreader you‘re welcome ♥️ 12mo

Amiable I think I submitted the form? I updated it every month after I finished a book —did that do it ? I only read 12 books —one for each month. 12mo

dariazeoli Form should be complete. Thanks! ♥️ 12mo

Soubhiville @amiable sounds like you‘re good. I am not opening the spreadsheet until I‘m ready to start calculating, late tonight. 🙂 12mo

Welcome to January 2024 #AuthorAMonth readers! Time to pull out our Jane Austen 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 each month. (this prize can only be won once, there will be a different winner every year.) ⬇️ 12mo

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. 12mo

Soubhiville -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.

Only Listy members who are still active in the Listy community at the time of drawings will qualify.

I will build a new Google form for 2024 by the end of January. ⬇️ 12mo

Soubhiville Some of you are tagged more than once because I‘m not sure the tag worked for the first time… let me know if you got two notifications? I‘m going to read

Pride and Prejudice

12mo

Soubhiville @Susanita good luck! Classics can be a challenge for me. 12mo

dariazeoli This is the year I finally read

Pride and Prejudice

12mo

IndoorDame I‘m thinking I‘m going to read Emma. I think it‘s been by far the longest since I‘ve read it. 12mo

Lcsmcat I may reread Persuasion. It‘s my favorite Austen. 12mo

Bookwormjillk I‘m not sure yet. I‘ve read them all so it‘s going to be a mid-month treat for me to pick whichever one I have a feel for. 12mo

TheSpineView I'm think

Sense and Sensibility

12mo

Laughterhp I‘m going with Sense and Sensibility. I‘ve never read it before. I‘m just waiting on my library copy. 12mo

Amiable I may skip this month to focus on my #AuldLangSpine booklist—undetermined at this time. 🙂 12mo

Jess I found two different copies of Sense and Sensibility on my shelves so will start there but I‘ve never read Northanger Abbey and may want to try that this month. 12mo

AllDebooks I might go with Persuasion as it's the only one I haven't read or maybe stick with comfort reading my favourite

Sense and Sensibility

12mo

Melismatic I‘m not an Austen girlie but I trust this challenge! Gonna go left field with

Persuasion

12mo

vonnie862 I'm going to try Northanger Abbey. 12mo

Soubhiville @Melismatic I‘ve actually never read her! I feel like a book traitor to say I enjoy the movies but have never been drawn to the books. I‘m trying this month though! 12mo

Soubhiville @Amiable I love that challenge! I hope you have a bunch of books you‘re excited about for it. 12mo

vlwelser Emma. I'm not really an Austen person. I read P&P and kept expecting (hoping) zombies were about to lumber out of the bushes. We'll see what happens with this one. 12mo

BarkingMadRead I think I‘m going to read Persuasion. I always reach for P&P so I thought I‘d try something different 12mo

Read4life I‘m going to try Northanger Abbey on Serial Reader 12mo

Soubhiville @Read4life oh great idea! I often forget about serial reader. 12mo

Bookzombie I‘m going with Sense and Sensibility. 12mo

MrsV I think I might try Persuasion 12mo

Julsmarshall I‘m not sure, like @Bookwormjillk I‘ve read and own them all and plan to see where the wind takes me mid-month. Excited to get back into Austen 🤩 12mo

Caryl I‘m excited for Austen month! It will be fun to read all the posts. I‘ve read The Big Six, so I‘m going to start with one of her early works, then see if I have time for more.

Lady Susan

12mo

Deblovestoread I‘m going to start with Persuasion. If time allows I might squeeze in either P & P or S & S. 12mo

dabbe Either SENSE AND SENSIBILITY or PERSUASION. Haven't read either one. 12mo

mom2bugnbee My favorite! So excited to have an excuse to re-read her catalog! 12mo

KadaGul @Soubhiville I might not be able to get to the Authors until March. I am in few local Library 📚 reading 📖 challenges. They all will end in February. For March #JANEHARPER I'll have #DRYBYJANEHARPER 12mo

Soubhiville @KadaGul do you want to be added to the tag list? 12mo

KadaGul @Soubhiville Yes I want to because 5/12 I'm in local library challenges and then the rest i don't know 🤷‍♀️ what to read. This way I'll have little theme going on to fill in the gaps. If that's ok with you. 12mo

thegreensofa I‘m reading

Jane Austen - Sanditon: The last novel by Jane Austen

12mo

Andrew65 Going in for January with

Northanger Abbey

12mo

DHill I‘ll be reading

Emma

12mo

gossamerchild I think I'm gonna start with Persuasion, as it's my favorite ❤️❤️❤️ 12mo

Bluebird I can‘t decide! I may put the names in a hat and choose that way. 😂😂 12mo

Eyelit @Caryl Twinsies! That‘s what I‘m doing as well 😃 12mo

Caryl @Eyelit - Awesome! We‘ll have to compare notes. 🤓💖 12mo

BeckyWithTheGoodBooks I am so excited about this list!! 12mo

Yenya1954 I just finished Persuasion by Jane Austen 12mo

Happy NYE #AuthorAMonth readers! What a wonderful year of reading it has been. 📚 Who was your favorite of this year‘s authors?

If you want to be tagged in next year‘s posts, be sure to comment on the last post I made on this book title.

If you haven‘t completed your Google form yet, be sure to do that in the next few days so I can draw our winners and add totals up for the Most Read prize. Link and rules will be in the comments. ⬇️

Soubhiville Now may be a good time to update your Google form tracking your #AAM reads. If you haven‘t started your form yet here is the link to do so:

https://forms.gle/TeytXus8tg53LGnk9 12mo

Soubhiville #AuthorAMonth is a no-pressure challenge in which we read books by a voted on author each month. Read as many or as few as you like. At the end of the year there is a prize box for “Most Read.”

There will also be randomly drawn prizes- everyone who has read at least one Author a Month book and is still active on Litsy is entered into those random drawings. 12mo

Soubhiville -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 the Google form each month. (this prize can only be won once, there will be a different winner every year.) ⬇️ 12mo

Soubhiville -There will be one prize 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 a few random prizes sent to any randomly drawn participant who has FINISHED at least one qualifying book during the year. (edited) 12mo

CatLass007 I enjoyed Nnedi Okorafor. I‘m still reading more of her books. 12mo

Soubhiville My favorites this year were Louise Erdrich and Maggie O‘Farrell. 🙂 12mo

BarkingMadRead Loved Reid, st James, and O‘Farrell 12mo

Melismatic For me, a toss up between Erdrich, Okorafor, and Morton 💖 12mo

tjwill I already loved and had read most of Ruth Ware‘s, Taylor Jenkins Reid‘s, and Simone St. James‘s books, so I read theirs that I hadn‘t read yet, but the one I read the most this year was John Steinbeck. I think I read 6 of his books. I read some AAM books every month but December because I was busy and didn‘t finish the one I was working on. (edited) 12mo

Andrew65 Thanks for such a great reading year @Soubhiville. I completed the form earlier today. Amazed when looking back to see I‘ve read 28 #AuthorAMonth books. Happy New Year to you. 12mo

Amiable Steinbeck and Larson. In fact, my Steinbeck pick almost won my nonfiction reading bracket for the year. I‘m proud of myself for finally making it into the “Every Month Club” this year! (edited) 12mo

DHill My favorite new-to-me author was Maggie O‘Farrell. 12mo

AmyG My favorites were O‘Farrell and Morton, though not new to me. 12mo

Soubhiville Thanks @Andrew65 ! Happy New Year! 12mo

dabbe Thanks for hosting this incredible event, @Soubhiville. I can only barely imagine the hard work involved. My faves this year were totally new to me: Erdrich, O'Farrell, and Ishiguro. Steinbeck has always been a personal favorite, so it was nice to read something of his I had never read before. Looking forward to 2024! 💙🖤💙 12mo

Megabooks I already knew I loved O‘Farrell, but discovering I loved Erdrich, too, was wonderful!! Thanks for another great year!! (edited) 12mo

MemoirsForMe Thanks for being our awesome host of this fun challenge! I was thrilled to finally read Taylor Jenkins Reid‘s Evelyn Hugo and Steinbeck‘s Grapes of Wrath. 12mo

BookwormAHN Surprisingly my favorite was The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie 😺 12mo

Bookwormjillk I loved re-reading some of my favorite Steinbeck books. 12mo

gossamerchild I was super surprised by John Steinbeck (The Grapes of Wrath might have been my favorite of the year) and Simone St. James. Such a great year of authors. I'm so excited for 2024! 12mo

Teresereading Ursula Le Guin was a great discovery for me 12mo

Jess My favs this year (although not new to me) were O‘Farrell and Ishiguro. It was great to clear my shelves of their backlist. My surprise fav author was St. James. I will definitely be picking up others from this author. Thanks for a fanatic year! 12mo

Read4life Kate Morton. I ended up reading 2 different books from what I originally picked because library holds came in. I plan to read the 2 I own in early 2024. 12mo

Caryl Favorites: I loved beginning 2023 with Erdrich‘s The Sentence! I was also happy to finally read O‘Farrell‘s Hamnet. I didn‘t get to Ishiguro or Morton, but hope to sneak them into my 2024 reading. Thank you for hosting this wonderful challenge, Soubhi! 12mo

Gissy Maggie O‘Farrell

Followed by Kate Morton and Simone St. James 12mo

Bluebird Reid and O‘Farrell were my favorites. Both were new to me. 12mo

Bklover I love St.James. Also Steinbeck and Ishiguro. Was a very good year!! 11mo

We are drawing close to the end of December and the end of the year #AuthorAMonth readers. I hope you are enjoying your Kate Morton books. I‘ve been seeing your reviews 🙂📚.

We will be starting off 2024 with Jane Austen, get your holds placed soon if you need to. I‘m pondering which to read, and I‘ve appreciated everyone‘s recommendations.

Don‘t forget to fill in your google form when you know you‘ve finished your last #AAM book for the year.

tokorowilliamwallace Oh, I saw this too late! I have a Kate Morton book I picked up thrifting that interested me, The Distant Hours. Maybe I'll be in the mood to start it the last week of the month. 12mo

CatLass007 I started participating in #AuthorAMonth in September of this year. I didn‘t know there was a Google form until just now. Will you be linking to the 2024 Google form? 12mo

Crazeedi If there is a form I'd like to see it too. Thank you!! 12mo

Bookwormjillk Completely forgot about the form. Thanks! 12mo

Karisimo Do we need to do the form if we tracked on the Storygraph challenge? 12mo

Soubhiville Here is the form link: https://forms.gle/TeytXus8tg53LGnk9. If you want to be eligible for prizes you will need to fill out the form. (It has been listed on most of the previous posts.) @Karisimo I will only be looking at the Google form, StoryGraph is for your own tracking pleasure. @Crazeedi @CatLass007 @Bookwormjillk 12mo

Crazeedi @Soubhiville thank you!!! 12mo

CatLass007 Thank you for the link. I didn‘t know there were prizes. I just thought of it as a fun way to meet new authors or clear out my TBR. And it definitely has done both this for me this year. 📚📚📚🙂 12mo

Karisimo @Soubhiville got it, thanks! 12mo

Bookzombie I‘m trying to finish my current read so that I can attempt a Morton book. 🙂 12mo

CatLass007 I will fill out the form when 2024 rolls around. 12mo

Mimi28 Jane Austen sounds cool 😎 She‘s on my kindle. ( I only have kindle on@my phone. I haven‘t fired up the old laptop in a while.) I‘ll sign up in January also. 12mo

November is drawing to a close #AuthorAMonth readers. 🙂 I hope you‘ve enjoyed reading Kazuo Ishiguro‘s books.

In a few days we‘ll start our Kate Morton books for December.

Now may be a good time to update your Google form tracking your #AAM reads. If you haven‘t started your form yet here is the link to do so:

https://forms.gle/TeytXus8tg53LGnk9
⬇️

Soubhiville Reminder to keep the email you get once you start your form, you will need it in order to update throughout the year, or you can wait and fill the whole thing out in December if you‘re keeping track of your books along the way. Your already started form should be available to edit in your Google Drive as well. 13mo

BarkingMadRead Please add me to the tag list! 13mo

RebelReader What a list! I‘m gonna try and do better keeping up next year. I was always a month or two behind this year. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 13mo

squirrelbrain Great list! I wasn‘t going to do any challenges next year but now….. 🤔🤣😃 13mo

vonnie862 Ooh, please tag me! 13mo

Soubhiville @vonnie862 and @BarkingMadRead you‘re both added to the tag list 🙂 13mo

Soubhiville Happy Thanksgiving all! Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🍽📚 13mo

Gissy Fantastic selection!!! 🤩Yes, I‘m here seeing the post and already reviewing in my mind the books I already own from each author!!! There are some authors that I need to buy at least one book, great excuse to acquire more books📚☺️

I‘m still reading books from this year AuthorAMonth but those are books I owned so is good to continue reading books from my physical tbr. 13mo

gossamerchild Yay! What a great lineup. I love it. Thank you! 13mo

Amiable That‘s a whole lotta female authors —it wasn‘t as obvious until the photo collage. Wowsa. 13mo

Liz_M @LitsyEvents 13mo

Bookzombie I‘m excited for this list. There are a few authors I will get to revisit and the rest will be a push to finally pick one of theirs up. Happy Thanksgiving to you, your husband and your fur babies! @Soubhiville 13mo

jenniferw88 Thanks for organising, @Soubhiville , but I'd just like to mention that it's AustEn, not AustIn. It's one of my few bookish bugbears - you're not the only person who spells it wrong! 13mo

Eyelit Please add me to tag list - I‘ll def be participating this year! You do a StoryGraph challenge for this too, right? 13mo

Eyelit Also, who is that for the pic of Jane Austen? 13mo

rwmg @Eyelit Is it Virginia Woolf? 13mo

Eyelit @rwmg yes, I think it might be. Thanks! 13mo

Soubhiville @Eyelit @rwmg oh no it‘s not her? I used Pinterest. I will try to find another portrait! Oops! Thanks for bringing it to my attention! 13mo

Soubhiville @Eyelit yes I‘ll set up a StoryGraph for those who want it, but it might take me a couple of weeks to make that happen. 13mo

DHill So excited for 2024 authors! 13mo

peanutnine Could you add me to your tag list for this next year? There are a lot of authors on here I'm interested in ☺️ 13mo

Soubhiville @peanutnine you are added 🙂📚 13mo

LibrarianRyan Wow already. Thank you for posting. 13mo

LibrarianRyan Ok, is it just me or did anyone else see Annie Lenox when you first glanced Tana French? 13mo

Soubhiville @LibrarianRyan I absolutely did! Lol 😂 13mo

Megabooks @jenniferw88 thanks for the tip! 13mo

Andrew65 @jenniferw88 Thanks for the suggestion 😁 13mo
