Jan/Feb/Mar 2019 Author Nominations

Hello all!

It'll be a new year before we know it, so let's start brainstorming some authors for Jan/Feb/Mar 2019 now.

Please nominate as many authors as you want by adding them to this thread by December 1. Feel free to second anyone's nominations as well.

Remember that previous authors within the last two years won't be repeated. Here is a list of the previous authors: https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/Monthly_Author_Reads

I'll then pick the next three authors from the nominees, giving preference for any that get seconds.

Thanks :)

I'll nominate them again ...

Louis de Bernieres
Anne Tyler

I'm nominating:

A.S. Byatt
Nancy Mitford
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Kate Morton

I suck at nominations so will go with whatever :)

I will warn you, I just started a masters so my reading time is somewhat limited these days.

>4 Yells: Congrats! Which field are you studying?

English - I have always wanted to go back to uni and continue on so this is my mid-life crisis :)

>6 Yells: Hah, well I'm hoping you are only facetious about the mid-life crisis part. Sounds like fun in a way to be going back to school. Enjoy it while you can! And I totally get that an English concentration will mean not lots of free time for pleasure reading, but perhaps our authors and your syllabi might occasional line up. Of course, I'll throw in my plug for audiobooks too, although I think you might already listen to some.

Another nomination ...

Isaac Asimov

>8 BookConcierge: Thanks!

All ~~ please keep adding nominations and seconds so we pick authors YOU want to read and not just authors I want to read :)

Don't forget to nominate (or second) authors for the new year! Please keep adding your suggestions :)

I'll second Kate Morton

>12 BookConcierge: Cool, thanks

Today's your last chance to nominate or second an author for our next reads. Make your voice heard!

Hello all ~~

We'll be reading Anne Tyler in January, Isaac Asimov in February, and Kate Morton in March.

I'll work on setting on threads & etc. another day, but at least you know what reading materials to start preparing for next year. :)
