LitsyClassicsAtoZ

The Year in Review | Freedom Forum Media Studies Center

My best reading year since I started using Goodreads in 2012.🥳

I also completed:

🎉#Popsugar2018
🎉#LitsyClassicsAtoZ
🎉#ERMadlibs2018
🎉#LitsyReadingChallenge2018
🎉#Booked2018
🎉#MountTBR (Mt. Everest-100 books)

I‘ve read some awesome books, but most of all, I‘ve really enjoyed another year of reading and stacking and swapping and book-clubbing and chatting and getting to know so many Litsy friends.

Happy New Year! ❤️

sprainedbrain @silentrequiem @Redwritinghood @DivineDiana @DarcysMom @LauraBeth @BridgetteM @erzascarletbookgasm @Butterfinger @LauraBrook @HardcoverHearts @Daisey @mhillis @batsy Thank you, friends! ❤️ 6y

sprainedbrain @HOTPock3tt I backed my goal for this year down a little. I decided there‘s no reason to keep increasing it every year and have to stress about it. As long as we are all reading and enjoying what we like, it doesn‘t matter. ❤️ 6y

sprainedbrain @Reggie I might as well be a badass at something! 😂 6y

The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein | Kiersten White

Tagged book will probably be the last one I finish in 2018. 2019 bookish resolutions:

1) Read minimum of 70 books.
2) Complete Read Harder 2018 challenge/try to complete the 2019 challenge.
3) Read 10 books from #GilmoreGirlsreadingChallenge, which should help me make headway with the #litsyclassicsatoz I‘m still working on.
4) Complete the #booked2019 challenge.
5) Participate in more Litsy swaps and buddy reads.

Xingu | Edith Wharton

Loved this very short sarcastic comedy of manners. Can you imagine if the ladies of the lunch club had seen this photo when looking in the encyclopedia?! #litsyclassicsatoz

Frankenstein: ; Or, The Modern Prometheus | Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Still working on this year‘s #litsyclassicsAtoZ. Just finished this one. Must admit...much preferred Mel Brook‘s version. :) Or the Munster‘s version.

Kamouraska | Anne H�bert

This Canlit classic is based on a real love triangle murder that took place in Quebec in 1840. I bought it for #litsyclassicsatoz but haven't got around to reading it yet. Someday!

#sleighride #winterwonderland @cinfhen @TrishB

Tamra Oh, intriguing! 6y

Cinfhen Ohhh!! I‘m intrigued too @Tamra 6y

LeahBergen I have it and haven‘t got around to it yet either. 😆 6y

TrishB Great cover 👍🏻 6y

writerlibrarian There is a wonderful movie made with a very young Genevieve Bujold. 6y

merelybookish @writerlibrarian Cool! I wonder if there is an English version. 6y

merelybookish @TrishB It is a sleigh... I think. 🙂 6y

merelybookish @LeahBergen I want to read it. Maybe over the holidays. 6y

merelybookish @Tamra @Cinfhen Yes! I'll let you know how it is, when I finally read it. 🙂 6y

hermyknee Thank you for the really sweet holiday card you sent me! 💖💖💖💖 6y

Villette | Charlotte Bront�

so-so

I've been chipping away at this one for about a month and a half. Clearly Jane Eyre is Bronte's masterpiece. This one was alright. I did like the character of Lucy Snowe but the book lost me a few times and I had to bring myself back into focus on what was going on many times. BUT! I finished my #LitsyClassics for 2018. 🎉🎉🎉

@Sarah83

merelybookish Wow! That is an accomplishment!! 🎉🎉 6y

Rachbb3 @merelybookish Thanks! I took on so many challenges this year I was starting to think it was a wash. Next year is going to be lighter. 6y

merelybookish I tried two. Bailed on one and got to about half of #Litsyclassicsatoz. Plan on avoid challenges in 2019! 😉 6y

Rachbb3 @Ms_T Thank you! 😊 6y

erzascarletbookgasm Great job! 👏 6y

emilyhaldi I totally agree it‘s easy to lose focus with this one. I binged the final 200 pages in one sitting and that MADE the whole book for me 🙌🏻 6y

batsy Congrats on completing the challenge! 6y

The Remains of the Day | Kazuo Ishiguro

Finally read this little gem. What an amazing character study! (Thanks for the copy @BookishMe)
Afterwards, I decided to check in on my #litsyclassicsatoz stats. Ive crossed off 13 letters, if Les Mis counts as starting with L. (Meanwhile I have multiple C, M, & O candidates.)
Unlikely I'll complete this challenge but will try to knock off a few more letters before Jan. How are other people doing?
@Sarah83

Ranchan This one is on my TBR! Have the same cover too ^^ 6y

Cathythoughts I picked up this book recently... loved the tv series. Can‘t wait to read it 👍🏻❤️ 6y

merelybookish @oOArankaOo It did not disappoint! I'm glad I finally read it! @Cathythoughts Oh, I didn't know there was a TV series! Is it recent? I saw the movie with Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson back in the 90s, which I liked! 6y

Cathythoughts Sorry, I meant the movie ... with those 2 amazing actors you mention ... 👍🏻 6y

merelybookish @Cathythoughts Such good actors! I plan to re-watch sometime. 6y

Dr. Seuss's ABC | Dr. Seuss

Only 6 of these were ones I originally had planned on, but I went through what I‘ve actually read so far and replaced the other 20 with other classics that I read through #ShakespeareReadAlong #EarthseedBuddyRead #JaneAustenReadAlong #Reading1001 etc and with that I am counting this #ReadingChallenge complete

#LitsyClassicsAtoZ
#ReadingChallenge2018
And a few also worked for my #MountTBR and #192019 challenges, so that‘s a plus.😉

DGRachel I love when a book multitasks and works for more than one challenge. I don‘t repeat a book for prompts within a challenge, but I do like checking off boxes in multiple challenges! Good for you! 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @DGRachel Yes, I completely agree, it‘s a great feeling when that happens. 6y

Daisey Congrats on finishing it with plenty of time to spare! 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Daisey Haha, that‘s ok, it just gives me 2 months to finish up the other ones I started. My overall MountTBR, for one, is WAY behind schedule! 6y

Andrew65 Got one more book to go on my #LitsyAtoZChallenge. Congratulations! 🍾🥂🎈👏 6y

Gezemice Congrats! That‘s awesome! I have reworked mine, too, but still have a few to go on it. You are up on it this year! 6y

TheBookHippie Finishing up my LAST ONE!!! 6y

Wuthering Heights | Emily Brontee

Currently reading on #serialreader. This one is kind of a relief as far as language style goes after reading a few very long-winded classics. Surprised I haven‘t read it before but here we go.
