Monthly Author Reads

Description: This is a group where we will highlight one author a month (decided by group-vote). During that month, read one or read two books by the author or just jump in to discuss books you have already read by that author!

This group was inspired by the Author Theme Reads group. Check them out too for a more in-depth and long-term focus on specific authors!

As pictured: Elizabeth von Arnim is our author for November.

"Books have their idiosyncrasies as well as people, and will not show me their full beauties unless the place and time in which they are read suits them." (The Solitary Summer)

E.M. Forster is on deck for December.

Past authors: Willa Cather (Feb. 09); Edgar Allan Poe (Mar. 09); Evelyn Waugh (Apr. 09); Katherine Mansfield (May 09); Elizabeth Gaskell (Jun. 09); Rebecca West (Jul. 09); Ngũgĩ wa Thiongʾo (Aug. 09); Daphne Du Maurier (Sept. 09); Henry James (Oct. 09)
