February 2026- Lesser Known Author > Likes and Comments

Suggestions MUST fit the theme! In this case, it HAS to fit the theme LESSER KNOWN AUTHOR meaning it CANNOT be a widely popular book or author (even if they independently publish), and it CANNOT be a book we HAVE read before! It DOES NOT need to be widely available like the other categories.
Each person can suggest ONE book per topic. If you suggest more than one, your first entry will be chosen.
YA books only!

PLEASE REFERENCE THE LIST OF WHAT WE HAVE PREVIOUSLY READ!
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
You can search the list by hitting "control + F" on PCs and "command + F" on Macs, you then type in the title and if we have read it, it will pop up.

If possible, use the "add book/author" link which allows us to see a list of the books and authors.

The voting list will be capped at 15 so even though it COULD stay open until the 5th of January, it may close before then if we get enough suggestions. Thank you!

**This discussion title has been changed since some authors who are not widely known do have publishers.

That was nominated for a Goodreads Award, so I wouldn't consider it lesser known. Sorry!
