siriusedward (elenaraphael) | 2005 comments I have your 2 alternates and Iliad on my to read list.
I love Anne of Green Gables.the whole series.
Hope you enjoy all the books .
I am wondering if I should include either Great expectation or war and peace this year.or if it will be too much.

Melanti | 1894 comments Good luck on your challenge!

I put War and Peace on my challenge, too, but I don't know if I'll manage to get it read.

Though, technically, that's what the alternates are for. To replace something you don't like or don't have time to finish.

Jane Fischer Melanti, There's a buddy read going on right now for W & P. Its supposed to end in February but I know I won't be done by then. Join us!

I put W&P off for years because I thought it would be difficult to read, but it was amazing and very, very readable. I should have known that I would love it, it being Tolstoy. Dive in, Melanti.
