Monthly book challenge!

Just thought of this after re-reading The Enchanted April:

Put together a list of books by women. Each book must have the title of a month in it. Try to find a title for every month in the year.

Then read them all :-)

Besides "April," there's Josephine Johnson's Now in November, which I only vaguely remember reading when I was 16, and thought it was kind of a dreary weeper.

there's november of the heart by lavyrle spencer. never read her and don't really intend to but it's the first that came to mind...

Some months might be harder than others. Some might also be a bit sneaky, in that I've got Geraldine Brook's March and Middlemarch in my library. Would they count? :)

Sure, why not. Even if they don't refer to the month, the name's still there.

I also found September, which looks like kind of a soaper by Rosamunde Pilcher, but a popular one.

And, of course, there's the Junie B. Jones series by Barbara Park. (OK, kind of cheating, but our son loved those books in first grade.)

Frost in May Antonia White

I'm getting into this!
Cruel April: A Dee Smith Mystery and A February Mourning by Hannah Wakefield

doesn't really count but there's like water for chocolate where every chapter is the name of a month and what happens in it.

this is hard! i know there's a lot more out there but can't think of any...

a wedding in december by anita shreve!

February by Moore is a good one.

So we ideas for January, July, August, and October.

Not fiction, but The Guns of August by Barbara Tuchman.

i cheated to find it, but judith rossner wrote a book called august

(sorry, just saw rebecca's august entry)

Nadine Gordimer wrote a book called July's People, but July is the name of a character, not the month, so it doesn't count.

You don't have to like her, but Ayn Rand wrote that play Night of January 16th (which I've never read).
