Back to the Classics Challenge 2020

I just found out about the Back to the Classics Challenge hosted by Books and Chocolate .  If you'd like to join, click the link above by the end of March to sign up! You can also read the rules and descriptions of each category.

I have been SO BAD about reading the classics for the past year-and-a-half!  I think this challenge will get me back to crossing books off of my master list for the Classics Club!

Below are the different categories and my book choices for each one.  I am reserving the right to change my mind at any given point!
