Becky of Becky’s Book Reviews is hosting a reading challenge that “is designed to ‘celebrate’ author birthdays. Choose one author for each month of the year. Read at least one book a month. 12 authors. 12 birthdays.” I can’t resist this one! Anyone can join the fun up through the third week (or so) of January 2008, but I have my list ready now (a mere five minutes after discovering Becky’s challenge):
-
January: Lloyd Alexander
-
February: Russell Hoban
-
March: Dr. Suess
-
April: Anne McCaffrey
-
May: Arnold Lobel
-
June: Chris Van Allsburg
-
July: Beatrix Potter

August: Tasha Tudor
-
September: Robert McCloskey
-
October: Gene Zion
-
November: Madeleine L’Engle or C.S. Lewis
-
December: Noel Streatfield or James Thurber
This looks like fun. I’m so glad I read your blog.
