Anyone got any ideas for a classic romance?

Have you read Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier? Classic, romance and eerie! Reads pretty fast.

If you look back over this thread and search romance using Ctrl+f, you can see what those who have shared have picked for that category. If you haven't read Jane Austen, any of hers work and are good. I've read them all so I'm doing Age of Innocence.

I'm a little late to the party but I am going to try this! I'm going to make subsequent comments with how I'm progressing.

I'm not sure how to have the books I put down be linked and underlined. Can someone explain to me how to do that?

Andrew-
Great to have you along. This challenge runs Jan-Dec 2015 so you can use anything you've read during the year.

Rogan-
I think you have a bit of leeway with classic romance. There are classics that happen to have some romance (Austen, Bronte, some Gaskell, Lorna Doone, etc.) And then there's classics of the genre (duMaurier's Rebecca, Gone With The Wind, Gabaldon's Outlander, Winsor's Forever Amber, etc.)

Sorry I can't link for you. I'm on my phone.

Renee, I just figured out how to link so I'm ok

I take it we are interpreting "a book with non-human characters" as a book that INCLUDES such, and not necessarily that consists of no humans at all?

It's definitely up to you on how you feel to interpret, but my interpretation was a book where the plot centers around non-human main characters (kind of like Charlotte's Web or Animal Farm). I think others interpreted it more as you suggest where it just includes non-human characters.

Starting late but I've aleady completed some categories this year so I'll see how many more I get done.

15 out of my 25 goal, just 10 more to go.

11 A book of short stories The Outcasts of Poker Flat and Other Tales by Bret Harte
12 A book set in a different country (Egypt) Crocodile on the Sandbank by Elizabeth Peters
13 A book started but never finished The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane
14 A book from Childhood The Bobbsey Twins at the Seashore by Laura Lee Hope
15 A Classic Romance Summer by Edith Wharton

Excellent! I just love how great it feels to make progress Ina goal. :)

Three books left! Two months tops for this challenge!

Nice. I'm down to 4 myself, but I'll admit, I'm dreading one or two of the ones I have left. A book your mom loves especially! My mom does not read much, but what she does read is completely not in my element.

Chase wrote: "Nice. I'm down to 4 myself, but I'll admit, I'm dreading one or two of the ones I have left. A book your mom loves especially! My mom does not read much, but what she does read is completely not ..."

Yes, my last three will be my toughest, one is over 500 pages and I've been dawdling over this one for about 5 months now. The other two I've picked out are wild cards. We'll see...

Good luck, Chase with your last four!

Good luck on that over 500 pages. I dreaded that one. I got lucky because someone wanted to buddy read The Mysteries of Udolpho. Buddy reading made it easier to read a 600 page book.

Don't hesitate to ask for suggestions here. The lingering categories tend to be the ones for which we have little affinity.

A Little Life was VERY good. Way over 500 pages, though. Life after Life is also excellent, and closer to the 500 page mark. If you want to dip into some oldies, Lonesome Dove is the greatest. Other favorites (although nobody asked haha):

A Suitable Boy, but it's huge at around 1500 pages
Gone with the Wind of course
Hawaii and/or Centennial by Michener
Roots
Thornbirds
Helter Skelter
Bonfire of the Vanities
Sophie's Choice
Let the Right One In
Clan of the Cave Bear
Hypnotist by Linna

Chase, maybe see if your mom can recommend a very short one? My mom doesn't read much, either, but she did read and love TKAM luckily for me, and I listened to the Sissy Spacek audio this year.

I challenged myself to 25 and I made my goal.

23 A book at the bottom of my TBR pile-A Bell for Adano by John Hersey

25 A banned book-God's Little Acre by Erskine Caldwell

Great job, Cindy! This is a fun challenge.

Great job Cindy!

Thanks for the encouragement. This was a fun challenge. I had no trouble finding books to read. Also kept me reading through most of the year.

Finished Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. This was recommended by Renee -- so worth the read and I'm not a Sci-Fi fan at all!

One more book to go to finish this challenge and the last one is over 700 pages! A CHUNKSTER MUNKSTER!

Congrats Cindy!

Melissa, do you have the chunkster planned or are you looking for titles?

Actually, I started reading Winter's Tale back in February and was hoping to finish one of the chunksters on my list by the end 2015. But I still would love your recommendation! :D

Good for you, Melissa! So glad you enjoyed Ready, Player One! I've heard good things about Winters Tale. Can't wait to hear what you think.

One of my favourites is Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts and it also happens to be over 700 pages! If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend it.

I'll keep you updated Renee! I'm having trouble keeping my attention on the chunksters these last two years (probably because the mini-challenges keep popping up *squirrel*).

I'm looking into Shantaram right now, Kassandra!

Coming in as a very late starter, let's see what I can manage: I'm using October's books to begin -
