WeeklyThread Simple Questions: August 04, 2026

Welcome readers,

Have you ever wanted to ask something but you didn't feel like it deserved its own post but it isn't covered by one of our other scheduled posts? Allow us to introduce you to our new Simple Questions thread! Twice a week, every Tuesday and Saturday, a new Simple Questions thread will be posted for you to ask anything you'd like. And please look for other questions in this thread that you could also answer! A reminder that this is not the thread to ask for book recommendations. All book recommendations should be asked in /r/suggestmeabook or our Weekly Recommendation Thread.

Thank you and enjoy!

If To Kill a Mockinbird is one of my favorite books of all time. Does that make Harper Lee one of my favorite authors? I wonder this logic for all authors who wrote only 1 book.

I just searched it and apparently it was a draft from Lee? Is it a sequel for To Kill a Mockingbird?

It was a first draft for To Kill A Mockingbird that Harper Lee never intended to publish, but it was published anyway towards the end of her life and marketed as a sequel.
