Becky of Becky's book reviews is hosting a Celebrate the Author challenge. The challenge is to celebrate author's birthday's by reading one of their books: 12 authors - 12 months = 12 books. The challenge runs from January 1st through December 31st, 2010. Not difficult, right. You can read the books in any order you like, but I'll probably be reading them in their birthday month. It took me some time to figure out which authors I wanted to read and what books I wanted to read. I gave myself one goal however. The books had to be one that have been on my shelves and just have not gotten around to reading. I've come up with an interesting list and look forward to reading the stories.
January: Wilkie Collins 1/8/1824 - The Moonstone
February: Charles Dickens 2/7/1812 - David Copperfield
March: Sarah Ruskin 3/13/1928 - Westing Game
April : Lois Duncan 4/28/1934 - Don't Look Behind You
May: Daphne DuMaurier 5/13/07 - The House on the Strand
June: Dorothy Sayers 7/13 - Unnatural Death
July: Robert Liparulo 7/12/56 - Comes a Horseman
August: Sharon Kay Penman 8/13/1945 - When Christ and His Saints Slept
September: Leo Tolstoy 9/9/1828 - Anna Karenina
October: Nora Roberts 10/10/50 Pick from shelves
