CLOSED - March 2021 BOTM Nominations

[Ann T, Adult Moderator]

There are so many Classic reads that everyone, no matter your age should read. So for March, we are looking for 5-7 nominations of a CLEAN Classic, published before 1950.

I nominate Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs - published 1912.

Ooh I’d love to read Tarzan! But following the same path, I’ll also nominate ‘The Jungle Books’ by Rudyard Kipling. It’s been on my shelf for a while now to read so would be good to get to it :)

I almost nominated Kim by Rudyard Kipling. So The Jungle Book, published 1894, will fit nicely.

I literally thought March might be the month for classics!! Though in my head it was because I was thinking to honor the March sisters (Little Woman) >.< I have no idea why lol...

I'll nominate Alice's Adventures in Wonderland / Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll (not sure if both parts are one book or not?)

This is going to be so fun!! 😃 I'll nominate Pollyanna!

[Elisabeth aka Elsie(Taylor's version)]

I really wanted to read Pride And Prejudice or anything other by Jane Austin but I think it’s published a lot later than 1950, somewhere in the 2000th? Is this a problem?

I believe it was published in 1813, so I'm sure it's okay! :)

[Elisabeth aka Elsie(Taylor's version)]

Oh really? Maybe I was looking at some new adaptation. I’ll nominate it then!

I've been wanting to read this series! It sounds so sweet and since it's written by L.M. Montgomery it must be good!😄
