Okay. So this past year, I attempted my very first reading challenge. I pledged to read and review nine classics by December 31st. I read five. Five books I wouldn't have read otherwise, though, which I found personally enriching. This year, thanks to the blog,
Sarah Reads Too Much (
http://www.sarahreadstoomuch.com/), I'm trying again. For the 2013 version, there are only six required books to read in predetermined categories, and five optional ones. The six main categories and my choices are below:
Nineteenth Century Classic:
Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas
Twentieth Century Classic:
Light in August by William Faulkner
Eighteenth Century Classic:
Moll Flanders by Daniel Defoe
African-American related Classic:
Beloved by Toni Morrison
Classic Adventure:
Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson
Animal-related Classic:
Call of the Wild by Jack London
Thanks to Sarah for hosting this challenge. Stay tuned for my reviews throughout the year.
