The Blogging of a Book Addict

I am excited to participate in the Basic to the Classics Challenge 2016! Recently I've becoming more and more a fan of classic literature, so this sounds like the perfect challenge for me to get a jump start on some classics I have sadly procrastinated on reading. Details on the challenge can be found here!

Currently, my tentative selections for the various categories are as follows:

1. 1. 19th Century Classic -  A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
2. 2. 20th Century Classic - The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway
