As the year comes to a close, we both came to the shocking realization that we’ve allowed our classics on our TBR shelf to get a bit out of hand. To provide ourselves with some incentive to get a head start on these, we’ve decided to join the Grown-Up YA’s 2015 Classics Challenge. To participate in the challenge, each of us will pre-select one classic to read per month. We’ll have to stick to this schedule throughout the year to successfully complete the challenge. Wish us luck!

We can’t wait to start this one! It’ll definitely be hard to stay on track, but if we work together, I definitely think we can manage. Thank you, and good luck to you, too!
