✔Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
Buddenbrooks by Thomas Mann
Hail and Farewell by George Moore
The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
The Oxford Book of English Verse

✔Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
Far Away and Long Ago by W.H. Hudson

Yo as long as it's not the Lunar Chronicles I'm up for anything."

Third time's the charm?

Alrighty! I am not likely going to finish another book this year, so everything is up to date!

I finished both the Classics Challenge and the Book Genre Challenge, and the only things I missed on PopSugar's challenge were:
1. A book that scares you
2. A book set during Christmas
3. One of the first books C&B ever read

On the whole, I pat myself on the back for reading 47 books this year (17 above my goal).
