Congrats! Im half way through my last read for this challenge. . . .hoping to get there before Christmas!
Congratulations!
Congratulations! I thought I'd finished early but my list ended up changing at the end and now I still have a movie review to do to complete it! Yikes! And Christmas is coming fast!
I'm very impressed by your classic in translation! That is a very long book. :-)
That's fantastic! Congratulations!
congrats on finishing. that's a lot of good classics!
wow, congratulations!
These categories are all so fun! I'm so sad to admit that I didn't read anything from the 19th century this year--probably a first for me in a LONG time. More classics in 2015! Congrats on finishing!
Thanks guys!
Sarah - Good luck! You can do it.
Cleopatra - Don Quixote was a beast. I hope you get to the movie review, you're so close!
Trish - If I had two little munchkins running around my house I think I would have a hard time getting half the reading done that you do!
