repost for @Soubhiville

It‘s time to update my #AuthorAMonth tag list for next year. This helps me clear out folks who are no longer interested and add new people who are. I am making an entirely new list, all you need to do to be on it is comment below.

What is #AuthorAMonth? It‘s a reading challenge in which we attempt to read at least one book from a particular author each month. The list of authors was nominated and elected by Litsy readers.

Soubhiville Thanks for sharing! 3h
BkClubCare Yes please. I would like to participate. Should I tag @Soubhiville ? ☺️ (edited) 3h

Soubhiville It‘s a no pressure challenge, I just post a couple times about the chosen author each month. At the end of the year there are a few prizes- Most Read, the Every Month Club, and a random draw from everyone who read at least one author. Your reading is tracked in a Google form if you so choose. ⬇️ 4h
Soubhiville So just comment if you‘re interested. For the rest of the year I will tag with both this year‘s and next years list, and starting January 1 I will tag only the 2026 list. Happy Reading! ⬇️ 4h
Soubhiville If you click on this book title and scroll back, you will find both this year‘s reading list and next year‘s reading list. 4h

November was a good reading month for me with 15 books read & 2 started-but sadly, not much progress with my Women Who Run with the Wolves reread.🩶🐺

I finished books for #SundayBuddyRead #ChildrensClassicRead2025 #NancyDrewBR
#BobWhiteBuddies #EBBR #RiseUpReads #MonthlyNonFiction #ThematicCozies #FictionalTraveler #Roll100 (3) #AuthorAMonth &SeriesLove2025

A good mix of books, favorites were Living With Picasso, The Serviceberry & Aftertaste

TheBookHippie I stalled out on wolves as well.. 15h
britt_brooke Fantastic month! 15h
Ruthiella That is a good mix of genre and age group! 14h

The Liar | Nora Roberts

I enjoyed the unique voice of the main character, but the book is such a slog otherwise. Very little suspense, no sparks with the love interest, and it's so obvious where it's going.

I may just be over N.R. since this is my second DNF. I'm hoping I can find a good Julia Whelan reading for this #AuthorAMonth but they don't seem findable at the library, except one on playaway.

I‘m really excited about my #AuldLangSpine list from @julesG ! There was just one book I had already read & loved (AWGTMI ⭐️) & a few on my TBR but several new to me titles, which I always love!

Pictured are are the first 6 I‘m starting with, beginning with the tagged book I was already planning on reading in January for #AuthorAMonth & I Know How This Ends because I loved Cassandra in Reverse.

Mahalo @monalyisha for another great match!

julesG I see you've had a tough time picking titles for your list too. It is difficult, first to limit it, second to pick something not everyone has read already, third keep availability in mind. 23h
julesG You've picked six good titles to start with. 🎉🎉 23h
DebinHawaii @julesG Yes & I also rule out series unless it‘s book one & some that I think are too niche or extreme. (And I‘m a Libra with decision-making issues, so there‘s that…) 😂 23h
DebinHawaii @julesG Excellent! I will probably get to the first 2 in January & read the others throughout the year. 23h

Grief. Loss. Sadness. Drugs. Alcohol. Madness. Hollywood. All the crazy haze of the late 1960s. Wow… this was a lot.

My November choice for #AuthorAMonth. So glad I have finally read something by Joan Didion, but not sure I‘m eager to read more. Time will tell. She really plays with your head.

@Soubhiville

TheBookHippie She‘s my fav- I‘ve read it all 🙃 2d
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick If you ever feel like trying her essays, I really enjoyed this one. I felt it had a real sense of place for mid-century California. 4h

I love this #AuldLangSpine list from my match @rachelsbrittain ! The only one I‘ve already read is Sunrise on the Reaping. In January I‘m going to attempt to read 3- The Incandescent, as I already have it, Hemlock & Silver (Jan‘s #AuthorAMonth, how convenient!), and An Extraordinary Union as I can get it right away on Libby. I‘m making myself a StoryGraph challenge to keep reading the rest throughout the year.

Looking forward to diving in!

KT1432 This looks like a great list!! 2d
Sapphire I love the StoryGraph challenge idea to keep on the list! 2d
julesG Snap! I also had the StoryGraph challenge idea. 😁 2d

rachelsbrittain Love it! So glad you're excited about the list and already have a few picked out 😊 I'm hoping to read your list throughout the whole year too 2d
Soubhiville @rachelsbrittain I built the StoryGraph challenge 😁, I can‘t wait to start checking them off! I also bought myself a copy of A Gentleman‘s Gentleman while I was Christmas shopping today, since my library doesn‘t have that one. I feel confident I‘m going to love this list. @monalyisha I think you nailed this partnership! 2d
rachelsbrittain @Soubhiville I fully second that! Great work as always @monalyisha 2d

An intriguing list! The Last Unicorn is an old fav and I've also read Every Heart a Doorway, but most of the others are new to me! Right now I'm most interested in Everyone Knows Your Mother is a Witch and Song of the Huntress, and will probably save the Shusterman for February #AuthorAMonth.

(I think I'm missing one book though...?)

@shortsarahrose

thanks @monalyisha!

shortsarahrose No books missing (I did have a long parenthetical comment about reading Scythe before Thunderhead, but Scythe technically isn‘t on the list because I didn‘t read it this year). Song of the Huntress was an #ALSpine pick from @BookmarkTavern - it‘s so good! 3d
willaful Oh, a continuing pick, how cool! I can't remember if I did that or not -- did I put “Project Hail Mary“ on my list? If I didn't, I should have.

I definitely put several books from Camp Litsy on it, and have been seeing those on a lot of other lists as well.
2d
monalyisha Oh, the list goes from 1 to 3. Ha! I caught it on one of the other lists but didn‘t notice on this one. After a while, the text all starts to blur. 😵‍💫😅 Great graphic! Love the heading. 2d

shortsarahrose Good catch @monalyisha - I was obviously sleepy and didn‘t notice last night. I think you‘re missing 2d
shortsarahrose Project Hail Mary wasn‘t on the list but I can definitely add it as a “bonus pick.” And a good recommendation, too - I purchased a copy earlier this year but haven‘t read it yet! 2d
willaful @monalyisha thank, I was rather pleased with it! 2d
willaful @shortsarahrose I was looking for 5 star reads and only gave it 4 but it's really stayed with me and probably should have been a 5 star. 2d

Page turner, family melodrama and romance set in a fictional town on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. It‘s part of a series, but I didn‘t feel lost not knowing the previous stories. #authoramonth

In other news… Tiramisu has a quiet meow but purrs like a lawn mower. She also snores.

Well #authoramonth readers, we have arrived in December, which brings us to Nora Roberts.

I started The Awakening today, which is the first in her fantasy trilogy. I‘m enjoying it more than I expected to!

Feel free to include any of her pen names in your reading this month, including the popular JD Robb books.

Do you know what you‘ll be reading?
