So this is how I will be starting out the new year. All proud of myself for setting a blogging schedule and some actual drive to follow through it…then scrambling last minute for a review and realizing this baby has been sitting in my drafts for roughly 2 months. I’m obviously incredibly organized and no amount of new years will probably ever change that.
Yay for me! Another Classics Club book off of the list! For those who aren’t familiar The Classics Club is a challenge to pick classics (at least 50) and read them all over the next 5 years. For those who read my initial list you know it’s more of a “books I always wanted to read or re-read.” Most of my list is re-reads of books I either loved as a kid or want to re-vist, books I was supposed to read, and books that I love the author and want to experience more of their work. The plan is to have my list of 50 all read by December 28, 2020.
