Hi Karol, I'm excited about FGTATWSC, I saw the movie years ago.
I read Dracula years ago and it was slow but I want to really read more classics this year, so I have included this.
I really love the old B&W movie withbBela Lugosi, very eerie and creepy.

Best of luck in your own challenge 😊

Thanks, Ruth! I got The Cloisters for Christmas, so I have no more excuses not to read it. Happy new year to you!"

Happy New Year and happy reading to you 😊

I haven't read any of these, but I read The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane by Lisa See last year and it was in my top 10 books, loved it.
Best of luck Denise, happy reading 😊

The Villa is good, but I haven’t read any of the others.
Best of luck 😊

I quite fancy some on this list. I've only read Daisy Jones, good, and the Netflix series is also good!
Happy Reading 😊

They all look good! I've The Cloisters on my list too. Best of luck 😊🤞

Bill wrote: "I've enjoyed a few of your selections, Ruth.... Jane Eyre, Far from the Madding Crowd, We Have always Lived in the Castle, The Bell Jar. Great list."

Happy New Year to you, Bill.
I'm looking forward to read and re-reading some of these classics.
Best of luck with your challenges too. 😊

I'm about to start Morgan's Run. It's a whopper, 800+ pages. It's based on a true story, the MC was a real man, the author's ancestor. It will be interesting!

Thanks Vikki. I'm reading a lot of classics this year.
