The Classics Club is hosted at Goodreads by Jillian. The objective of the club or project is to read 50+ books within the next five years. My target date is March 11, 2017. I don’t plan on setting a definite number of books as I can be very fickle. Although, due to the vast number of books I will be keeping track of my progress here.

I love your choices. I worked on my list over the weekend and finally posted it today. I think this is such a great idea.
Excellent choices, Whitney! I can't wait to read your thoughts on these. I'm glad you joined! 🙂
Oh my goodness–the Story of the Trapp Family Singers really takes me back! It was in our house when I was growing up, and I read and reread it. I wanted to be a Von Trapp daughter, lol. Enjoy!
