we'll be reading a few of the same books next year. I read 11/22/63 this year and LOVED it. Enjoy your challenge :-)
Hi Tracy, I look forward to seeing which ones are the same and what we each think about them. I've heard so many people liked 11/22/63. I can't wait to start! Enjoy your challenge, too!!
So far for what you've chosen, we both have Pachinko , Killers of the Flower Moon,and Pride and Prejudice ( I can't believe I haven't read any Jane Austen...this is the year).I read The Stars are Fire this year and enjoyed it. I always love Anita Shreve.
This will be my first Jane Austen, too, and I always say the same thing...cant believe it took me so long. P&P has been sitting on my shelf for years. This is the year!
Oh, and I feel the exact same way about Anita Shreve. I haven't read one of hers in a few years, I read her a lot in my early 30s. I was so excited to find that book and fit it into the challenge. 😊
I really liked The Picture of Dorian Gray and Pride and Prejudice, and Pachinko was good but not great for me! Good luck with your challenge.
