I found this from a suggestion online and thought it looked pretty fun. It is similar to Leslie's 'Alphabet of Books You've Read'.

1) Post the name of the author whose first name begins with the next letter of the alphabet after the initial letter of the previous post.

2) Try not to repeat within the same thread.

3) Please try to link wherever possible.

4) If you have read any books by the author, feel free to say what they were.

A

Anne Brontë (I haven't read anything by her but I have read her sisters work before)

First names, hmmmm... seems weird not to use last names but OK.

B: Bram Stoker - Dracula is all I have read by him.

C:

Colleen Coble (haven't read anything of hers yet, but I do have one on my Kindle).

I thought it would be different to use their first names instead.

David Nicholls

E: Edith Wharton - I've read 3 of her books this year: Ethan Frome, House of Mirth, The Age of Innocence and I am currently listening to the radio drama of The Custom of the Country on BBC Radio 4X.

Though I had added this book to my TO READ LIST I have not yet read it and whenever I see the name popping up I have a guilt feeling. After I return to Rome, I will have to find time for it.
