Happy Tuesday, y’all! This week, Jana over at That Artsy Reader Girl is asking us to share books that we can’t believe we’ve never read. I’m not one to look at really hyped books and think, oh yeah, I want to read that! Occasionally, one will catch my eye, and I’ll give it a try. Sometimes it’s a success, other times it’s a failure. So instead, I thought I would start a new alphabet challenge. A few weeks ago, I finished an alphabet challenge based on titles. You can find those lists here. This week I’m starting a new challenge, focused on author names. Today, we’ll look at ten “A” author names.
