As promised, on the 23rd
of every month I will post a list of literary author birthdays. I came across
the list on Book Lover Gifts
website. Feel
free to add your favorite authors special day. Put it in the comments section,
just wait for their birth month.

 

  • 01 Aug 1819 – Herman
    Melville, author of Moby Dick
  • 22 Aug 1920 – Ray Bradbury,
    author of Fahrenheit 451
  • 24 Aug 1899 – Jorge Luis
    Borges, author of The Library of Babel

 

August Facts:

  • It is the last month of
    summer.
  • It is the month of summer vacations
    and holiday for many around the world.
  • Many cultures call August the
    harvest month.
  • Folklore: If the first
    week of August is unusually warm, The winter will be white and long.

 

 See you next month!
