When I finished the "50 Classics in 5 Years" challenge, I wondered if I would find any additional classics of interest. Silly me! There are more classics on my TBR list now than I could read in a lifetime. So I'm glad that Karen at Books and Chocolate is hosting another Back to the Classics Challenge for 2018. All the details are here. These are my 12 (subject to change) choices:1.
2. 20th Century Classic (published before 1968) -
3.4. A Classic Translated from Another Language - Illiad
5.
6. Classic Crime Story -
7. Classic Travel/Journey Story (fiction or non) - Journals of Lewis and Clark
8.
9.
10. Classic by New-to-You Author - Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott
11. Classic that Scares You - Canterbury Tales by Chaucer
12.
Looking forward to a great year of reading!
Blessings,

Wonderful list! I'm intrigued by your Travel choice and we are book reading Larkrise! Yay. :D
I've have Larkrise on my shelf for years. It's one volume with I think two books bound together, and pretty thick, so I keep putting it off because of the sheer amount of time it looks like it would take. But I suppose I could just read one of the volumes. Secret Garden is on my list this year, too. Somehow I have never read it, though I did see a film version. My education was sadly lacking in classics, so I've been trying to make up for that in the last several years. I read Ivanhoe a few years ago and enjoyed it. Haven't tried Willa Cather yet but I did get a couple of hers free for the Kindle.
O Pioneers was my favorite by Cather. She's a beautiful writer. And Secret Garden is a favorite, as well. Of course, I'm obsessed by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Happy Reading!
