Monthly Themes:
- January- A classic you’ve always wanted to read- Start the year off with a bang!
- February- A classic you’ve always dreaded reading- Get that book out of the way… and who knows! You may end up loving it!
- March- A classic you’ve been recommended- We all have those
- April- A classic you’ve seen the movie/miniseries/TV show of- If you’re like me you’ve probably seen quite a few film versions before being able to read the book. It’s time for that book to get read!
- May- An American classic
- June- A British classic
- July- A European classic (non-British)
- August- A modern classic- Up to your interpretation
- September- A children’s classic
- October- A classic by a female author
- November- A classic by a male author
- December- A classic written under a pseudonym- If you don’t know which books were written under pseudonyms here’s a few names to help you out. Jane Austen wrote her books under a pseudonym (by a lady) as did the Bronte sisters (published their books under male pseudonyms), George Elliot (real name Mary Ann Evans) and Agatha Christie also wrote a few books under the Pseudonym Mary Westmacott. Men who also have written under Pseudonyms are Mark Twain (real name Samuel L. Clemens) and Lewis Carroll (real name Charles Lutwidge Dodgson). I’m sure there’s more out there but there’s a few to start you out.
My Classics Club deadline is getting closer and this will help me pick up the pace!
