Click on the links (Amazon List 1 etc). There are plenty of books and authors mentioned on those lists. Hope that helps :-)
Dear me - this is a challenge I cannot pass up. I'm forever reading German books.
I already have a number of reviews on my blog. You can access them here.
Sorry - I can't help with the button.
I'm interested! I have a strong German heritage, so I've been thinking of doing this for awhile anyway. I'll let you know when my post is up.
I have a post up now!
@lizzy_siddal Thank you for participating :-)
@3m Thank you for participating :-)
I'm in. And I'm going to add to the challenge for myself, and say that at least half the books I choose have to be read in their original German. Maybe I'll even read them all in German.
@carrie Thank you for participating :-)
I would like to sign up for this challenge. I have several books by German authors and this will give me a reason to read them. I haven't posted about it yet, but will let you know when I do.
@ex libris That's great, thank you :-)
I'd like to do this one. I probably have enough books in my library already that qualify and have been waiting to be read. Please sign me up and I can't wait until someone makes a nice button for us.
I made a button if anyone wants to use it.
See it here. There's a larger and smaller version.

Sign me up! I will have to give my reading list some thought. I can't think of any German authors. By the way, I am a paralegal too.

Add me to the list. Do you have a list of German authors? The way I make my buttons, I copy the picture and the link to the challenge, click on the picture feature for Blogger, and then make my button.
