In honor of National Authors’ Day, the Patriot Pages staff compiled some suggestions for readers as well as paid tribute to some of their favorite authors. How can you recognize National Authors’ Day? Check out other works by your favorite authors from the media center, buy their books, follow them on social media, attend local author book readings at bookstores like Blue Apple Bookstore in downtown Madison, leave online reviews, and just talk to your friends about books that you like.

If you notice any repetition in author choices, it’s a good sign
