So glad you enjoy the classics. I”m still readig Les Mis (#LesMisReadalong2018) and would love to start Great Expectations soon. Thanks for having a look at my and your comment!
In the past, the classics I read for fun, I had to read them in summer break and Christmas break I had to read in a limited amount of break. So I am reread them again and see them at a slower pace
Hi, I had noticed that Brona had completed her first Classics Club list and started a 2nd one, and that got me thinking about actually officially joining in. And now I see your new list. The problem is, from my list of about 60-70 books of May 2016, I have read only 10 in two years, and not even reviewed all of those on the blog. So I am not sure I could commit to 10 books a year in 5 years. (But it would be fun to revisit the list.)
Oh, Tracy do join….Classics Club! I’ve joined now with my new blogname NancyElin.wordpress.
I keep looking at your classics list often….it is basic and classics pur-sang! Just copy that post….add some words about nr of books the date you want to finish. Volià! Reviews? As you can see my reviews are short and usullay just ‘thoughts’ that pop into my head while reading or listening to an audio book. Conclusion: …that is just my ‘gut feeling’ about a book….did it sweep me off my feet? ….or did it make me yawn waiting for the book to end?
Classic Crime list….that is a great idea ….how about that?
I did notice when I was at my Classics list post that i was linking to your old blog. I will change that link to your new blog … soonish. And I will seriously consider joining the Classics Club. I have thought about changing my list and adding more Classic Crime titles.
Hope you join! I’m starting my next classic as we speak. Are you on Goodreads.com?
Yes, I am on Goodreads, Nancy, and I follow your reviews.
