Use the first name or last name of a Author that wrote a book you have read about between January 01, 2014 - December 31, 2014.

You can use books you read for other challenges. A Author may only be used once, so total books to be read is 25 - 1 letter can be excluded at your discretion. It can be any one of them.

Anyone have any suggestions for Q or X??


message 19: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Smith Xiaolu Guo
Chelsea Quinn Yarbro

- Check out Chinese authors - their names are more likely to have those letters.
- If you read short stories, check your anthologies to see if any of the authors have X or Q names. That way you can use the anthology even if the author doesn't have any novels.

Lauren, which of the Yarbro books would you recommend?
I see she has quite a list!
St. Germaine; Madelaine de Montalia or a Stand Alone?


message 23: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Smith I haven't read any of them I'm afraid! I was just looking for Q authors in past years, and took note of her name as one whose books I'd like to read. But either I find someone else or never get around to finishing the challenge.


message 24: by Carolien (new)

Carolien (carolien_s) | 2703 comments Mod
Done! I highly recommend my book for author with an X if anybody still needs one or is planning for next year (and one day I'll figure out why it is so much easier to find authors with X than Y...)
