I have decided to accept the Classics Club Reading Challenge! This means that I have signed up to read and write on my blog about 50+ classic books in at most five years. As I read one book a month with you, so I will be able to read a total of 60 books in the next five years! Who will dare join me?
So here is my list of 60 novels, starting from this January 2019. I have decided to follow the pattern of one month, one genre. This is my personal challenge and does not exclude the possibility that I may also decide to read other classic novels with you in the future. I am always open to REQUESTS!
