From @Lunakay

Dear Littens, I think we all have some classics we would like to read, but somehow new amazing books are released all the time, then some of these classics are, well, a bit on the chunky side and therefore a bit intimidating and in general there is too much to read and too little time!
So, who would be interested in joining in on a quarterly challenge?

Let's tackle those oldies!

Let her know..

I LOVE Misty & Cynthia‘s challenge theme this month.... #3Books (check out @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks & @OriginalCyn620 feed for all the details!!!)
Day 1:
#3Books....I plan to read this month
Tom Sawyer for #BannedBook week & #ClassicsChallenge
The Parisian I‘m in the mood for a HF saga
The Cooking Gene for IRL bookclub

Librariana Sounds super fun! I'm so glad people like you, @Alwaysbeebeenaloverofbooks, and @OriginalCyn620 are part of the Litsy community and that you create these great prompts and activities (#weeklyforecast, etc.) to keep us all motivated to keep reading. Thank you all for that! 🧡 4y
mspixieears The Cooking Gene is fantastic and heartbreaking in parts, definitely worth reading as an alternative narrative to American history. 4y

I understand why Maya Angelou is beloved on Litsy and recognized as a literary legend. She bore witness to the brutality of the Jim Crow South, portraying racism in stark language and vividly described the horrors and traumas she endured growing up. I admire her bravery and resolve but this book was difficult to get through. I can‘t say I enjoyed listening to the audio but I‘m glad I did. #ClassicsChallenge #Booked2020#BannedBook

Reviewsbylola I‘m not sure this one would be successful for me on audio. 5y
Cinfhen I‘m such a lover of memoir...especially when read by the author but for some reason this was a chore to get through. I know others loved hearing Maya Angelou‘s deep voice but I felt it harsh and robotic @Reviewsbylola 🙊 (edited) 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Proud of you. This one‘s still on my list. 5y
Cinfhen Thanks @BarbaraTheBibliophage when the times right im sure you‘ll pick it up💔 5y
