ReplyDeleteN.N. was no problem...I always enjoy Dickens. Thanks.
DeleteI like the idea of this challenge. I wonder if there will be a 2021 challenge. Congratulations on completing it!
ReplyDeleteThere will be! She just announced it. Yahoo!
DeleteI see that you found that it is indeed an annual event. I always enjoy it, and yes...it complements The Classics Club perfectly.
DeleteWell done! I think I am going to have to leave mine at 9 read instead of the full 12. That "abandoned classic" is sadly going to remain abandoned! :D
ReplyDeleteThat was a little hard for me to even think of one. Usually, if I start something, especially a classic, I finish it. That was way back from my childhood reading.
DeleteCongratulations for completing the challenge, you chose very good titles :)
ReplyDeleteThank You!
DeleteTenant was also my favorite read from the Back to the Classics challenge this year!
ReplyDeleteNice. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
