Prompt 46: A book by an author with your same initials

[Ann]

What books are you reading in this category?

[Kerri]

I plan on reading Death Is Like a Box of Chocolates (A Chocolate Covered Mystery #1) by Kathy Aarons. I love cozy mysteries and this one includes two of my other loves; bookshops and chocolate.

[Nicole]

I don't know any authors with my initials. N F. Any suggestions?

Three Weeks in December

[Anna]

I get married in February so I get extra choice! A.C or A.W

[Safa]

I'm going to read Mistwalker by Saundra Mitchell. Took me a while to find an author with my initials.

[Anne]

I think it will probably be the newest by Alex Grecian. I also thought of a Margaret George which is my other initial.

[Jana]

My choice ended with My Life and Hard Times

[Alycia]

Hmmm, something by Anne Tyler, Amy Tan or Adriana Trigiani I think. I've got The Shoemaker's Wife on my shelf so maybe that will be the one.

[Eirin]

Anybody know an author with EGP? Or can I use EP?

[Julia]

I'm going to read "This is How" by MJ Hyland

[Gabrielle]

My choice is Game of Thrones by George R.R Martin

Eirin,
If you enjoy historical fiction you could read something by Edith Pargeter

[Nenda]

My initial is NIF. I didn't find anyone with the initial (until that link is given), but I have decided to read Stardust by Neil Gaiman.

Or maybe I could read something from Ian Fleming.

Congratulations Anna! I am also getting married this year and I guess that means I also get an extra choice, L.H. or L.C.

[Krissy]

ohmigosh! Thank you for posting this!!

[Donna]

I'm going to read a Dan Brown book

[Alexis]

My initials are AO and I just looked through my possibilities, not good: foreign language, medical, something about nuclear non-proliferation. It works out to maybe two choices, a 250 page poem or a book on faith and religion. Not my normal go-to reading.

Well, thank goodness for that fantasticfiction website. Looks like I'll read something by Anne O'Brien. Hope I like whatever it is.

[Sarah]

I am stuck on SB

[Alexis]

Sarah wrote: "I am stuck on SB"

I can't attest to how good all these authors are, but:
Samuel Beckett
Sally Beauman
Steven Barnes
Stephen Baxter

[Charline]

My initials are CA, so read some Cecelia Aherne for the first time and have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Didn't think it would be my type of book, but I enjoyed it and will definitely read more of her books in the future.

[Juanita]

I found this site text which helped me identify Jules Verne as my JV.

[Catie]

I was late to the challenge but funnily enough found I'd already read a book this year by an author with my initials. India Black was a vey enjoyable historical romp.

[Lori]

Thank you so much for this link ~ http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk! I was having a challenge finding an author let alone a book and I now have 4 authors to choose from!

[Luella]

This was really hard. After looking and looking I finally found and decided on a book by Liz Pichon.

[Tatiana]

I spent a few days looking for one and then I realized I already had one: Look Who's Back, by Timur Vermes.

[Ray]

My initials are R J. Any suggestions?

[Alexis]

I've only read Robert Jordan, The Wheel of Time books, but enjoyed it. Here is a short list of a couple of options.

Robert Jordan
Robin Jarvis
Rachel Joyce
Rachael Johns
Ronald Johnson

[Alexis]

I'm not going to criticize the book i read except to say, my husband's initials are GO, so he got to read George Orwell. I had a very difficult time finding an AO that I was willing to read. I read The Keys to My Diary by Ann Omasta. It was a quick read that I finished reading and was able to move on from immediately to my next book.

[sophia]

My initials are SS, and I'm really stuck.

[Jazs]

I'm planning on reading The Tiger: A True Story of Vengeance and Survival by John Vaillant for this one.

[Alexis]

Sophia wrote: "My initials are SS, and I'm really stuck."

I haven't read any of these authors, but maybe one of them will appeal to you. Good luck. I hope you find something enjoyable to read.

Sarah Silverman
Stephen Sondheim
Steven Spielberg
Suzanne Steele

You could always try reading something by Shel Silverstein like The Giving Tree or Where the Sidewalk Ends.

If you don't mind crude humor, I know a lot of people who like The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee by Sarah Silverman, as mentioned above. You could also count it for the memoir and funny book categories if you wished.

[Belinda]

I plan on reading The Accidental Highwayman: Being the Tale of Kit Bristol, His Horse Midnight, a Mysterious Princess, and Sundry Magical Persons Besides

[Melanie]

I read Lost by Michael Robotham for this prompt.

[Mpc]

Hi! My initials are M P C. Do you have any suggestions? :D

[Juanita]

I don't think you should worry about the middle initial. Some ideas are Michael Crichton, Michael Cunningham, Michael Connelly, Michael Chabon ...

[Kirsten]

I agree, Juanita. That would make it far too difficult. If the author doesn't use his middle initial, neither should you. Some parents don't even believe in middle initials.

[Mooni]

Any suggestions with VT, please? And I guess it could also be A and M. Thank you!

[Kirsten]

Victoria Thompson if you like historical mysteries.

[Melody]

Mpc wrote: "Hi! My initials are M P C. Do you have any suggestions? :D"

You could always read The Hours by Michael Cunningham, The Blazing World and Other Writings by Margaret Cavendish, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Chabon, or Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton.

[Kirsten]

Michael Connelly writes the Harry Bosch mysteries.

[Melody]

For this prompt I read Chicken with Plums by Marjane Satrapi, the amazing Iranian French graphic novelist. Chicken with Plums is the story of her great uncle, an accomplished and renowned tar player in Iran. It's told in 8 days, each day containing a story and theme, leading up to her great uncle's death. I didn't think it was as brilliant as her autobiographical memoir, Persepolis, but still honest, interesting, and thought provoking. I was really excited to remember that one of my favorite authors shared my initials.

[Jane]

I will be reading Fear of Dreaming: The Selected Poems by Jim Carroll.

[Sadia]

Any recommendations for an author with the initials SA?

[Melody]

Sherman Alexie!!!!!!!

[Sadia]

Ooooh one of his books is on my to-read list. I just realised that hahaha. Thank you :D
