Catching up on Classics (and lots more!) discussion

I will probably regret this but here goes! This is an incomplete list at the moment, I just wanted to get this up before the New Year and will tweak it over the next couple of weeks.

How many challenges is this now? Good luck!

Good luck! I'm hoping to get mine set up tonight, or at least partly set up. I can't wait to see the rest of the books you choose! Happy Reading!

I hope you don't regret this challenge, but that you have lots of fun doing it and reading the books.

Nice picks so far! Hopefully some of your challenge reads overlap. Good luck and have fun :)

lol MJ, I know, I'm out of control! After looking at the categories, I realized that I will already be reading quite a few books that work (yes, I do overlap between challenges) so it should be doable and will push me to increase the number of Classics I read which is why I joined this group!

Thanks all for the encouragement. I am sure I won't actually regret it!

They’re hard to resist, these challenges! You’ve listed some of my favourite classics. Hope you enjoy them :0)

Thanks Veronique! Yes, very difficult to resist but some of these have been on my TBR for years so it's time to get to them.

Good luck, Rachel! Addiction to reading challenges, the struggle is real.

lol, Thanks Milena! Perhaps we should create a GR support group for this addiction!

The first two+ months of the year I was focused on new books, reading the short list for The Tournament of Books but I am trying to make this a priority now that I have more flexibility in my reading again.

I haven't been strategic up to now so I am far from a Bingo but hopefully that will change soon!

Good luck, lady. There can never be too many challenges (There actually can be too many challenges, but that won't stop us)!

Thanks Tammy! It's nice to know I'm not alone in my challenge addiction!

Woo hoo! I finally got my first Bingo!

Wow! Congratulations Rachelnyc.

Congratulations, Rachel. I have yet to get one. Next month when we read Like Water for Chocolate, I will use it for the free space and get my first bingo.

Congrats, Rachel!

Congrats on your first bingo!

Congrats on your bingo Rachel!

Thanks all!
