  1. Many classics on the list. I forgot about Push. I need to put that on my TBR. BTW the bout of books readathon starts on the 7th to the 13th

    1. Thanks for the correction... I would have missed it.

      I have been meaning to read Push for forever. I am going to get it off my TBR pile this year.

  2. I have Orange Mint and Honey but I probably won't get to it this year. If I'm not mistaken, several of these are part of the Barnes and Noble classics series, which I love by the way. I'm currently reading Pride and Prejudice from that collection. No challenges for me this year.

    1. I got all of the classics from the B&N Classic Series. I loaded up when they had the eBooks for free.
