I may be a little slow, as there are many non-classics I want to read, but I am trying to add some classics in there as well!

1.
- took forever and some of the language was hard, but a good book. I could have done without the rants on farming and such.2.
- Amazing! I read it every year. Short and sweet.3.
- Quick and fun read. Nothing like the movie. A Great adventure4.
- This is one I pretended to read in high school. This time I actually read it and was surprised by how short it was and how dramatic. Glad I revisited it.5.
- Really liked it! Glad I finally read this book as people have raved about it!6.
- I did enjoy this and Anne as a character. Not as much as P&P though.7.
- This was looooong but it was interesting and different style that the classic novel.8.
- I love Sherlock! This was a fun collection of interesting mysteries.9.
- The 1st Sherlock mystery. Really good!10.
- Loved it, even though I didn't like any of the characters!11.
- It was okay. WAY WAY too long with too many characters.12.
- This was a decent book, but very bleak and drags a long a bit by the end. Interesting characters.13.
- Bathsheba was a silly, but likable character. Periods of drama and periods of boring description. I feel very in-between about this book.14.
. This one took a little to get into, but then I enjoyed it. Poor Lucy has a dark life and suffers from depression. That mood is reflected in the story.
I'm planning to read The Christmas Carol this year. Saw it on my bookshelf staring at me the other day. A short book, true, but I have't read it yet.
