Bookish Nerds :D discussion

Suggest a monthly challenge below :)

This could apply to any month, maybe next month? :)

Challenge: read a book in which the author was born or died in the month of your birthday! Can be of any gender, era, genre etc!

Rules:
-birth or death date of author (or both) must be in the same month as you were born
-if they were born or died on the same day as your birthday, an extra point!
- extra points are also rewarded if they are the same gender as you!

Good luck!
