Our next 'author match' is #1! So, post your numbered lists and read whatever author 'matches' the number 1 slot. Then, don't forget to take that author out of the game for next month!

(*****Note that your list should have 10 selected authors from which to choose this month.*****)

(An explanation of the rules and a yearly tracker can be found here.)

Nothing by my author of the month. However, for this monthly challenge, I'm counting books read all year. For the other monthly challenges, I'm just counting books read in the month. Why does this work ok in my mind? No idea, but I'm going with it. :-)
