My sisters, mom and a cousin decided to do a challenge from Goodwill Librarian this year. I am always up for a good challenge that will help whittle down my TBR pile. This one really hits the classics, so I am a little worried I won't finish all 52 of them, but still I will have less than I do right now. So I am going to skip the Alphabet Challenge this year and go with these books.
