Ok y‘all, it‘s time to vote. This list will be looooong. I‘ll let you know when to start voting in the comments!
The #hashtagbrigade is reading classics in 2024. Everyone is welcome, but please know that the hashtags are often ridiculous and always spoilers for that chapter. Wait until you‘ve read the chapter to read the post that day! That being said, spoilers in the comments are NEVER ok! After three warnings, I will stop tagging you….. ⬇️
BarkingMadRead 1/After that, if it happens again, I will block you. Please don‘t make me do these things. It breaks my heart. Vote for your top 3. I will tally the votes and then make our 2024 list. We will not be repeating authors next year, in order to expand our comfort zone. If two books by the same author are in the top 12, I will drop all but the one with the most votes. Next to each title, there may be a number 2 or 3. That‘s how many months it will take. 1y
BarkingMadRead 2/if there‘s no number, we will finish it in one month. There were a lot of nominees. Be prepared!!!! 1y

Bookwormjillk I LOVE this list! #Fantastic I vote for Brothers Karamazov, Little Women, and The Sun Also Rises 1y
Librarybelle Oh my! So many good choices on this list! I‘m going for Mill on the Floss, The Brothers Karamazov, and Ruth. 1y
CatLass007 #RandomClassics is scheduled to read Don Quixote in November and December of this year. So I definitely DON‘T want to read that twice. But I know we don‘t have to opt in for every book, so if it is chosen, I might participate in the discussion. So my top three, in no particular order are: Dracula by Bram Stoker, The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoyevsky, and The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. (edited) 1y
