Classics Club Book List
Completion Date: March 4, 2024 (hopefully...)
Alright, I'm going to try this again. Somebody (maybe) might remember me from last year when I almost joined the Classics Club?? I had to remove my blog, but decided to start over again, and I do believe it's turning out much better this time, if I do say so myself... and so I'm going to join for real this time! I'm organizing my list by author, since I intend to read scads of books, by particular authors. (Yes, I am extremely picky with my authors...) And some of these are re-reads, by the way. My community library is (unfortunately) pathetic... and I don't have the means to replenish my personal library very lavishly. Some are new, I promise, just not all.

ReplyDeleteNot sure if they count as classics, but may I suggest
Pixie O-Shaugnessy by George DeHorne Vaizey,
and Miss Billy, by Eleanor Hodgeman Porter.
I'm willing to trust any recommendation you give! I'll definitely check those books out, thanks!!
DeleteThis is a lovely list! Have you ever read anything by Elizabeth Goudge? I really think she'd very much suit your taste.
