2015 Back to the Classics Challenge Wrap Up....



I finished up the 2015 Back to the Classics Challenge!  I read books in nine of the twelve categories, including....

1. 19th Century Classic - The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain

2. 20th Century Classic - Across Five Aprils by Irene Hunt

3. Classic by a Woman Author - O Pioneers! by Willa Cather

4. Very Long Classic Novel - Quo Vadis? by Henryk Sienkiewicz

5. Classic Novella - A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

6. Classic with a Person's Name in the Title - Andrew Jackson by Clara Ingram Judson

7. Forgotten Classic -  Children of the Covered Wagon by Mary Jane Carr

8. Non-fiction Classic - Abe Lincoln Grows Up by Carl Sandburg

9. Children's Classic - Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame

The three categories I didn't complete were Classic in Translation, Humorous or Satirical Classic, and Classic Play.  In my quest for 'mother culture', I'm planning to link up the 2016 Back to the Classics Challenge.  I encourage you to give it a try!

      I have read it twice, and I feel like I ALWAYS want to read it, lol. It's one of my favorites, Wind in the Willows. We are reading the Reluctant Dragon now, thanks to you, Amy.

      I decided we are reading TOM SAWYER aloud to the family soon, after we finish one of our two read alouds.

      I like your choices Melissa.

    I'm planning to read Abe Lincoln Grows Up this year. The rest look like good choices for a good reading year.
