I definitely need to try more classics. I could never get into them in school, but now that I’m grown, maybe I’ll see hem in a different light.

I might actually join you for Sense & Sensibility!!! I’ve been wanting to read that for forever because I really liked Pride & Prejudice.. but I never find motivation to pick up a classic.
And I love the way you set this up and that you’re also watching adaptations! I think it’s gonna motivate a lot of people to join you and read more classics this year ♥

One of my goals this year was to read more classics, and I kind of failed, so this is the perfect opportunity! I’m going to try to read along as best as possible. 🙂
Also, I’m very excited to read Sherlock Holmes! I actually have read A Study In Charlotte, and while I didn’t love it, it was a fun story to read!
I can’t wait for this event to start!! ❤

I’m in – I’m always up for more classics. I’ve read A Study in Scarlet and Rebecca but not the others. So this will be fun! The new book the Winter by Lisa Gabriele was inspired by Rebecca if your looking for a follow up to read after Rebecca. That is is you love Rebecca. 🙂
Thanks for all the planning and posting the schedule ahead of time. I got this bookmarked and I follow on instagram. Can’t wait for January!
