*** Here is the list of books. I know at least a couple on the list have already raided thrift stores and found quite a few!***Every four months, we are taking a cheat month where we can read whatever we want... or not read at all I suppose! So in 2015, that will be March and August.

  2. Hi! Monica gave me a heads-up about this fantastic idea, and I would love to be involved in an old classics book club! I am always wanting to read more of the classics, so this seems like the perfect opportunity. Not sure if I'll manage every month because of course work commitments (grad school can be crazy sometimes), but I definitely want to give it a go!
