~ Authors� Birthdays Challenge ~

Duration: You set the pace.

Rules: Read a book for each day of the month, using authors� birthdays to determine which author you read.

For example, for book #20, you could read a book by Aubrey de Grey (April 20th), or Michael Koryta (September 20th). Choose from all one month, or your birthday month, or mix and match them.

For help, go to the site and click on the month and day you desire (see green arrow, Screen #1, below).

Also note, there is an alphabetical listing available (see red arrow, Screen #1, below). So, you may look for your favorite authors� birthdays, or try someone new. It will take you to a quote of theirs first; just click on their name/link again and it will take you to their profile page, which shows their birthday.

Screen #1

You do not have to use this source; you may find your own reference. Other helpful ones are:

Not a lot, but there is also GoodReads listopia; type in a search, like:
