Utah Book Month


It's Utah Book Month! What does that mean, you ask? Well, there's quite the blogging community here in Utah and not only that but there's a nice group of authors from here as well. So we're taking this month to highlight these authors by reading strictly Utah author books. There will be author and blogger interviews and mini challenges all month long.

I'm not sure how much I'll be able to participate as I'm still struggling with time management but I will be reading books published by Utah authors.


Yeah, I seriously doubt I'll get ALL of these read but this is the stack I'll be selecting from. Can you believe I haven't read The Maze Runner Books yet? Me neither.

I'll also have a few interviews I'm very excited about. So keep your eye out. Happy reading!

  1. I haven't read The Maze Runner books either. And, it's not on my list to read this month. Sigh. Someday. I have quite the list too and I doubt I'll get them all done either. Life.

    I hope your time management is getting better at least. :)

    1. It's getting a little better. I just miss all that extra time. Oh well.

  2. That is an ambitious pile! :) I have read The Maze Runner books so it'll be interesting to see what you think of them. Whenever you have a chance to read them.

    I think my goal this month is two books. We'll see how that goes...

    1. LOL! Yeah, I seriously doubt I'll get more than two or three but hey.

  3. Yeah! Good luck with that pile - I've decided not to be ambitious about reading at all for a few months. I've been so bad about finishing stuff it's rather embarrassing.

  5. I just bought a book by a Utah author, Helaman's Daughter by Misty Moncur. Have you heard of this book? I'm totally excited to read it! BofM stories for young adults. How cool is that? I've also been meaning to borrow The Maze Runner. Love to see what you think of it.

    I don't even know of any California authors. I think they all write stuff I'm not interested in reading. Or, maybe I just need to look them up. Great idea to support authors from your own home state.

    1. I haven't heard of that book. I'm sure there's plenty of California authors too.

  6. Thanks for plugging Utah Book Month! I'm very excited. From your list, I've read THE MAZE RUNNER series and HOW TO SAVE A LIFE. So, far, I've loved everything I've ever read by Sara Zarr. I have ONCE WAS LOST on my list for the month. It’s the last book of hers I haven’t read yet, and I’m a little sad there aren’t any more (yet).

  7. I haven't read The Maze Runner either! I've been meaning to because it keeps being compared to THG but I just don't have the time either. Good luck with your reading list. I hope you can find some time. I might inadvertently participate in Utah Book Month because my review of Once Was Lost is almost ready to be published!
