A book with multiple authors ... hmmm. Not sure I read a lot of books that will qualify for this one. Would we count an autobiography/memoir if it has a credited co-author? Thoughts?

I'm thinking it would. I've already read this one. but The Royal We has two authors and is a fun, light read if you are a fan of British royals. America's First Daughter also has two authors listed.

I definitely think a credited ghost writer would count.

There are always collections that can fill this prompt. I just read Reader, I Married Him: Stories Inspired by Jane Eyre, which is a collection of short stories written by different authors. All of the stories were inspired by that line from Jane Eyre.

I really enjoyed Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.

I wasn't blown away with Click: One Novel, Ten Authors but it was an interesting experiment. Written by by David Almond, Eoin Colfer, Roddy Doyle, Deborah Ellis, Nick Hornby, Margo Lanagan, Gregory Maguire, Ruth Ozeki, Linda Sue Park, Tim Wynne-Jones

Also, how do I link to a books page like the above posts instead of just typing it and forcing people to copy and paste like were in the stone ages?

Honestly I'm lazy and bookmarked that page then copy/paste/insert when I post.

Dani: You have to do it from a desktop computer or on a web browser for the full site. You can't use the mobile site or the app to get that functionality.

From the full site, there are hyperlinks above the comment box that allow you to "add book/author." When you click on it, it opens a search feature.

Damn I have to use a real computer. Oh well, back to the stone ages with me.

It works from mobile browser it appears

Never Never is a great, quick read :)

Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch
Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist
Let It Snow: Three Holiday Romances
Welcome to Night Vale <- most def reading this one. I looooove the podcast

I've got a few choices, and they are all really interesting for me!
* Good Omens (Pratchett & Gaiman)
* The Lady Most Likely... (Quinn, Brockway, James)
* The Forgotten Room (White, Willig, Williams -I guess only "W" names got to collaborate on this one!)
* Roseanna (Sjowall & Wahloo)

And for those searching, know that sometimes author duos will choose one pen name, such as Ilona Andrews. Also, the Beautiful Creatures series is an option (I read the first one and hated it, but that's just me!) There are also books by Marion Zimmer Bradley & Andre Norton & Anne McCaffrey that have collaborators as they became older, you have to search.

If you want a scary one for Halloween House is written by Frank Perretti and Ted Dekkar.

Ellery Queen is two people

James Patterson and Clive Cussler are two authors who usually have other authors working with them.

Also, Illuminae was written by two people.

The Charles Todd mysteries are written by two people

I want to read The Twelve Days of Dash and Lily.

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

^^ LOVED this book. Also works for book of letters.

Anyone watch the YouTube web series ? It's a modern "vlog" style retelling of Pride & Prejudice. It was super cute, I highly recommend it!

The creators came out with a companion novel, The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet, that has two authors.

If you like mysteries, there are several written by both Felix and Dick Francis - son/father. I loved the old Dick Francis books but haven't tried the newer ones with them together. Dick has since passed on and it's only Felix.

I missed reading Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Parts 1 & 2 so I'm adding it to my TBR list. Jack Thorne and J.K. Rowling are both credited on Amazon so close enough for me.

I really enjoyed between the lines by Jodi picoult and her daughter

I think David Edding collaborate with his wife for most of his books.

I also recently read my secret sister which was great

I enjoyed reading The Knockoff this year. Written by Lucy Sykes and Jo Piazza.

Last night I thought of The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub. I read it when I was a teen and remember liking it.

I found one that I had in this category � Kidnapped by the Taliban�

Dash & Lily's Book of Dares
You Know Me Well
Strong Signal

James S.A. Corey is actually 2 people. :) Leviathan Wakes

City of Dark Magic and it's sequel. Magnus Flyte is two women.
Most anything by Russian brothers Arkady Strugatsky and Boris Strugatsky

Would a book that's been translated count?

Bill wrote: "Would a book that's been translated count?"

I don't think so.

There are a number of books that are two or three novellas in one book like Summer Brides that has stories from Susan Mallery, Susan Wiggs, and Sherryl Woods. I would think something like that would fit this category - it said book, not story...

In that sense, wouldn't something like a mystery anthology work?

Another unique set of books that would I think would fit this category is a group of books where each author writes a chapter continuing the story. They are The Chopin Manuscript, the Copper Bracelet and the Watchlist

Saving Lucas Biggs by Marisa de los Santos and David Teague. It's a YA book so would probably go pretty quickly. I haven't read it yet but I've had it recommended and it sounds really interesting.

I just stumbled across Hotel Angeline: A Novel in 36 Voices

"Thirty-six of the most interesting writers in the Pacific Northwest came together for a week-long marathon of writing live on stage. The result? Hotel Angeline, a truly inventive novel that surprises at every turn of the page. Provoking interesting questions about the creative process, this novel is by turns funny, scary, witty, suspenseful, beautiful, thrilling, and unexpected."

Saving Lucas Biggs! Great suggestion! Fast read and neat story.

My thinking for this category is a edited collection of works by various authors. Top of my laist are the Wild Card series co-editted by George RR Martin (and being name into a cable series) or his Dangerous Women or Rogues.

If you're seeking books with a red spine AND the first book of a series you've never read, you can use the Obsidian trilogy for those two tasks and this one.

The Outstretched Shadow - the first book of the trilogy, so if you've never read it you can start here

To Light a Candle - the second book of the trilogy, it has a red spine (at least, my edition does)

When Darkness Falls - the third book of the trilogy that works for this task, as all three are by Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory

Would an anthology count in this category?

Honestly, I'm making up my own rules as I go along, but I'm curious what others will say here.

What about an academic book? Maybe I'll finally get around to the book I have an article published in.

I'd say yes to an anthology, it's a book and has multiple authors. I sometimes bend rules too, for example I probably won't go anywhere so I may get my mom to bring me back a book for the book I bought on a trip. It's not cheating because it's a personal challenge so you make the rules for yourself in my opinion.

I was wondering. After reading some of the comments above, it seems that some are picking books that have one name on the cover but are commonly known as written by more than one author.

I read this as having more than one name on the cover.

James Patterson, Clive Cussler, and others routinely write with a partner.

Also there are many books that are written by two. I plan on reading American Grace: How Religion Divides and Unites Us for this one.

I agree. I am also reading this prompt as a work by multiple authors. I'll likely go with a collection of short stories. An easy way to knock this one out!

I read it as one story with more than one author, doesn't matter how many names are used. So Ilona Andrews would work, although it's one name it is two people. And Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch would work, it is two people and two names.

But I like how we are all interpreting it slightly differently. It didn't even occur to me to look for anthologies for this one! But an anthology certainly is a book with multiple authors, and that was all the direction we were given.

Peter and the Starcatchers series is great. Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson

The Long Earth was written by Terry Pratchett and Baxter Stephen. It's the first in a series of scifi tales.

I just found a novella co-written by Stephen King and his son, Joe Hill: Throttle. According to Wikipedia, this was also released as an audiobook, Road Rage: Two Novellas

We were going to read Geurnsey (etc., etc.) for a book of letters, but decided last night to move it to here!

Anyone who likes crime fiction/forensic anthropology - Jefferson Bass is two authors (Jefferson - writer, Bass - forensic anthropologist), and the "Body Farm" series is excellent.
First book is Carved in Bone.

Nicci French is a pen name for two authors who write together, although I'm not sure what their books are like.

I've decided to start the year with this prompt and read What I Told My Daughter: Lessons from Leaders on Raising the Next Generation of Empowered Women

It's a collection of essays from many different women on the things they have told their daughters or wanted their daughters to know about life etc. Having three young daughters of my own it should be an interesting place to start!

There is Queen Heir written Jaymin Eve and Leia Stone. It is a shifter story. And Maddox by Maggie Ryan and Alta Hensley is out on jan 6. it is BDSM, so not for everyone.
