Found a few:
Mikaela Bee
Mikaela Bley
Mikaela Vincent
Mikaela Wilson

I googled author mikaela, and there are a few others I’ve not listed here. Good luck!

[Mikaela T (mikaelabooks_)]

Thanks Beth. I did the same and Mikaela Bee was the only one of those who wrote adult books and in English lol.

Ha! Yes, the language would be a deciding factor. :)

I have included some middle school level books on my list. In fact, I may have one juvenile picture book.

Truevine: Two Brothers, a Kidnapping, and a Mother's Quest: A True Story of the Jim Crow South by Beth Macy

[E]

I read one of my own books, but am now looking for an alternative, as it feels like I cheated!
Going to try Emma Lowe's Newborn.

[Clara]

The Changed Life & the Greatest Thing in the World by Henry Drummond. (Same last name.) 4 stars

[Mikaela T (mikaelabooks_)]

Update: I found a fantasy author for the Mikaelas!! haha
Mikayla Hornedo: The Sun, The Storm, & The Shadows

[Michele]

Michele wrote: "I found an author that not only has the same first AND last name as me, she also spells them both the same. Our names are Michele Olson, and the first book in her series is [book:..."

So, I finally read it. I thought it was kind of awkward at times, and I won't be reading any of the others in the series.

I couldn't find anything interesting with my name Adrienne so I am using my family name. (actually found a novel by an author that has my dad's name)

[Clara]

A Story of the Red Cross by Clara Barton 4 stars

[Denise]

North Dakota's 2023 poet laureate is Denise Lagimodiere...I'll read one of her books OR the poetry of Denise Levertov

[Kim]

I read The War That Saved My Life by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley.

[Nicole]

I read Show Them a Good Time by Nicole Flattery

[Kim]

“The Memory Collectors” by Kim Neville. Also fits the “Written in Present Tense” challenge if you need a reason to read this little gem of a book

[Natalya]

I read Skin of the Sea by Natasha Bowen. Natasha is the diminutive form of Natalya in Slavic languages so I go by both.

[Guylou]

It took me a while but finally found a book written by an author who have the same first name as mine. The illustrator of the book also shares my first name.

LE VOLEUR DE MITAINES (The Mitten Thief) by Guylaine Ouellet and illustrated by Guylaine Lafleur.

[Haley]

Forever Young by Hayley Mills

[Mary Sue]

This prompt was a real challenge for me. My first name is Mary Sue, so I ended up reading two books - one by MARY Campisi and one by Karen SUE Walker. A Family Affair by Mary Campisi and Murder in White Lace by Karen Sue Walker

[Leonore]

Another Chance at Life by Leonore Dvorkin

[Angie]

The Hate U Give - Angie Thomas

[Aquaria]

Well, they were never going to get my current last name, from my 1st marriage that I kept because it matched my sprog's name. It's so unique that I am literally the only person in the entire USA who has the first-last name combo that I do.

So I had to go with another of my names.

I read Laurie King's Beekeeper's Apprentice. I'm sort of torn about this one. I wanted to like it, and in many ways I did...but in the end I found it only meh.

[Susan]

For all the Susans out there!
"Up From The Blue" by Susan Henderson!
5 stars
A powerfully written story told mostly memoir style by the adult Tillie about a year in the life of the young Tillie; the year her mother went away. I had a very hard time putting it down.

Trigger warning: This book deals with mental illness, in a frank but sensitive way.

[Hannah]

I finished The Foxglove King by Hannah Whitten.

[Zermeena]

I read A Place for Us and did not like it. It needed a good editor. The audio was 18 hours long! That is a long time with no plot.

[Hilde]

My last name is Helseth, and I chose Norsk Film A/S En kulturhistorie by Tore Helseth og Jo Sondre Moseng. I have read another book by him - Den andre norske filmhistorien - for a prompt for the same last name for another challenge a few years ago. Both are library books, and I got another on a sale if I should need one more where he is one of the authors -
Film til folket - sensur og kinopolitikk i 100 år

[Denise]

I read Bookshop By The sea by Denise Hunter. I did not like it at all.

[Sandy]
