I'm focusing a lot this year on owned or NetGalley books, so I'm swapping out the authors I don't have books for. I likely won't be reading them all in the proper months.
Below are the books I might read for each author.

What a great list of authors. Some of my favorites. Thanks!
Love seeing this list - had some of these authors to read in 2022 so this is going to be a fun challenge!
Count me in! I don’t think I’ve heard of many of these authors so this should be interesting!!

Andrea - I read The House of Winslow series (up to about book 23) by Gilbert Winslow. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

I will follow this list for a few months but will have to substitute as I have a stack of books from some other authors I need to make my way through. Not sure I want to plan it out this early. There are a few authors listed here I am not familiar with, will have to look them up.
I'm in! May have to switch out a few as my 2022 Reading Goal is to clear off shelves and Kindle.Jan- Melanie Dobson

I am going to try for 6-8. We'll see as the year progresses maybe I will do more. This list has some of my favorite authors and a few I have been wanting to try. Looking forward to it!
I'm in for three. @Staci: Do I necessarily have to read them in their corresponding months?
I'm thinking about:
1. Melanie Dobson
2. Courtney Walsh and
3. Kristi Ann Hunter
As for my own list, I have to do more pondering.
Mod
I'm looking forward to this! This will be my first time doing any reading challenges. Not sure if I will be making changes yet or not, but that list of authors looks amazing to start!
Mod
I’m in!!! I’ll just switch out a few of the authors due to already having read books by them and wanting to read some new-to-me authors. Jan-

I'm going to read 3 authors of the month, though I may end up reading more. I'm thinking I'll probably read at least one book written by:Melanie Dobson
Kristi Ann Hunter
Courtney Walsh
and maybe a book by Elizabeth Musser.
Thanks, Staci, for choosing a great list of authors!

So I’ve decided to try 6/12 just because I’m new to these challenges and reading is a bit of a challenge in and of it self. Look forward to checking out these authors
Mod
Here is my list; i decided to make a bookshelf for it to keep track. I was diagnosed with anxiety and have a mild form of dyslexia so it is hard to read, but i try to stretch myself a little more each year. Robin Lee Hatcher
Colleen Coble
Angela Elwell Hunt
Robin Patchen
Karen Kingsbury
Janette Oke
Marianne Williamson
Mod
I like your list of authors! I see a few of my favorites in there.
This will help me find books I may otherwise not pick up! Thanks! The goal is to read at least 10 of the 12.Jan- Melanie Dobson - Chateau of Secrets - finished Jan. 28
Feb- Robin Patchen - Convenient Lies - finished Feb. 7
March- Kristi Ann Hunter - skipping this one since I'm not into romance at all; some romance is fine, but an entire book about romance AND historical fiction?, not for me :-(
