I’ve gone against type and joined a club! The Classic Book Club!
I’m so excited to begin my FIVE YEAR JOURNEY reading through and blogging about 50 classic books! My goal is to read and post about a book each month.
The list below is in no particular order (though while compiling the list I’ve nearly finished War and Peace and can’t wait to write my first response post).
I’ve set my starting date as August 1, 2017 and my end date as September 1, 2022 (I think I actually have 51 books on the list and may want to sneak in a few extras).
Any last minute suggestions? I’d love to hear them!
