Alphabet Authors

So, now I have finished my alphabet. It was fun looking at all the letters and trying to find my favourite author among them.  In the end, only Q and X are missing.

Some of them were really easy (e.g. Jane Austen), others were harder because I could have named several authors for the letter. And then there were those where I really only had read one or two by an author with that name but though I liked the books, I might not have chosen them for this challenge, had there been someone else.

Find the individual lists here:

A is for Jane Austen

B is for Pearl S. Buck

C is for Albert Camus

D is for Charles Dickens

E is for Nora Ephron

F is for Ken Follett

G is for Günter Grass

H is for Victoria Hislop

I is for Laura Ingalls Wilder

J is for James Joyce

K is for Barbara Kingsolver

L is for Wally Lamb

M is for Thomas Mann

N is for V.S. Naipaul

O is for Joyce Carol Oates

P is for Orhan Pamuk

R is for Carlos Ruiz Zafón

S is for Mary Scott

T is for Leo Tolstoy

U is for Lyudmila Ulitzkaya

V is for Mario Vargas Llosa

W is for Alice Walker

Y is for Malala Yousafzei

Z is for Stephanie Zweig

So, my authors came from France (1), Germany (3), India (1), Ireland (1), New Zealand (1), Pakistan (1), Peru (1), Russia (2), Spain (1), Turkey (1), the UK (4) and the USA (7).

  1. This has been fun. I can see why there are no authors for X. And I could only think of a few authors with Q that I've even read...Anna Quindlen and Matthew Quick. Oh, and Amanda Quick. But I don't own any of their books.

  2. Yes, letters X and Q are difficult ones to find authors for.... Have you read any books by author, Xhenet Aliu? I read and reviewed her novel, Brass, in 2021. Brass is really good and is in essence about mother/daughter relationships. Here's a link to my review: https://captivatedreader.blogspot.com/2021/05/brass-by-xhenet-aliu.html
