This is a pretty impressive list. I've only read a couple. To Kill a Mockingbird is wonderful. I look forward to your review after you've read it. I'm impressed by the challenges you've entered. Almost makes me regret not joining any new challenges this year . . . but not quite.
ReplyDeleteI loved Uncommon Reader. I also read Animal Farm a few weeks ago, for the first time, and thought it was wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love To Kill a Mockingbird. My favorite novel ever.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining the challenge for this quarter!
