My list of books to read:
- A Clergyman’s Daughter George Orwell
- Puddn’head Wilson Mark Twain
War and PeaceLeo Tolstoy (Hated it!)- Uncle Tom’s Cabin Harriet Beecher Stowe
- Mary Stuart Alexander Dumas
- Three Musketeers Alexander Dumas
- Twenty Years After Alexander Dumas
- Blood on the Tracks Cecilia Holland
- Greatest Knight Elizabeth Chadwick
- The Robbers Friedrich Schiller
- Mystery of the Four Fingers Fred M. White
- Garden Party Katherine Mansfield
Note: I have added the Three Musketeers although I read it as a teenager. I did not know however there is a “sequel”, which is the title Twenty Years After. It has been over 30 years since I read the Three Musketeers and before reading the second part I thought it would be a good idea to refresh my memory.
Another note: I have to see if it is ok to change one of my books, since I forgot I had placed it on this list and I read it.

War and Peace is on my list for this year. We’ll see if I make it.
I’ll be interested to see how your reading goes.
Actually, I HATED IT!!! I thought I would love it. Epic! Big book! Have heard how GOOD it is all my life. I hated it. Made it to Book Two, Chapter VIII, gave it up! Let me know how you like it!
I was just like you when it came to that book. I see you finished, The Flowers of Reminiscence and left me a very nice review. Thanks so much, it means more than you think.
It is a great book! I loved it! Gonna check out more of yours to read too. They are so down-to-earth, I love that aspect. Very entertaining. I enjoyed it, you write very well.
‘They’ say that War and Peace won’t be read by anyone soon ! Can’t be true…
Not by me. I tried, hated it.
I like that you have a list done…I have stacks but no list yet.
Oh, I put it together for the challenge. I have a loooonnnggg list in my head! LOL Some leak out tho and I have forgotten them.
Love, love, love to read!
