A Classic a Month: March!!

This year both Ann and I made our Bookish Resolutions posts (here and here) and realised we both wanted to read more classics. At least one a month. So we each made a pile of books we plan to read and set each other the task of choosing a book for the other.

What We Read in February:

Nothing. Neither of us finished either of the books we were aiming for. It just wasn't working. But hopefully we'll have better luck in March.

Our March Classics:

We're going to be reading the same book as each other again - The Princess Bride by William Goldman. This is one of my favourite books of all time and I happen to have two copies (of course I do) so we are going to be reading this together in March. We may even watch the film together (which is my favourite film of all time). It's my birthday in March and I feel like reading an old favourite!

You can also find us on Goodreads (Ann and Clare), Facebook and Instagram to keep up with what we are reading.

A Classic a Month: February!!

This year both Ann and I made our Bookish Resolutions posts (here and here) and realised we both wanted to read more classics. At least one a month. So we each made a pile of books we plan to read and set each other the task of choosing a book for the other.

What We Read in January:

Ann: I was aiming to read both Pride and Prejudice and Emma but unfortunately, due to mock exams, I was only able to read Pride and Prejudice. I really enjoyed it and I am not sure why I didn't read it sooner!

Clare: I finished both Pride and Prejudice and Emma this month and I loved re-reading them. I swear every time I read an Austen novel I find something new to enjoy. Emma is still my absolute favourite but I hope I get to re-read her other novels soon as well! 

Our February Classics:

Ann: I will be reading North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell which I know is one of Clare's favourites. She's read it a few times and has been nagging me to read it for ages so I am glad to finally get to it!

Clare: I am going to be reading Barnaby Rudge by Charles Dickens. I don't even know what this is about but I love Dickens so I will probably enjoy it! I am constantly picking up his books in charity shops so I have a couple I need to get to soon-ish!

A Classic a Month: January!

This year both Ann and I made our Bookish Resolutions posts (here and here) and realised we both wanted to read more classics. At least one a month. So we each made a pile of books we plan to read and set each other the task of choosing a book for the other. As luck would have it we managed to choose the same book to read so we will both be reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen in January. This is actually a re-read for me as I've been meaning to re-read it for a while whereas I know Ann has been meaning to read it as well.

At the beginning of February we will post again about our progress and what books we plan to read next! If you are reading any great Classics this year please let us know!
