Last December we announced the New Classics Bookclub. Instead of selecting a book each month and reading it together, we invited you to keep reading classics, but at your own pace — 1 or 2 a quarter, 1 a month, or whatever you chose. You made a plan and linked up your initial reviews. At…

Classics Bookclub — How are you doing?
I meant to — I really did. When the Classics Bookclub went to once a quarter, I set a goal of one classic per quarter. Not too hard. I was reading Gulliver’s Travels on my very fun new 100 Classics Books program on my Nintendo DSiXL. I read it some on my vacation in June/July….
Classics Book Club: The Princess and the Goblin
Attention classic book lovers everywhere! I have a news flash for you! Get this: It is now hip to be square. Yes, indeed, it’s true. Thanks to the 100 Classic Books “game” for Nintendo DSiXL, we who love all things classic can not only be hip but I have to tell you: I’ve also been…

We’ve reduced the frequency, we’ve added in some non-classics, we’ve selected an author instead of a specific book to give people some leeway — and it’s still been slow going. We don’t…
Books on Screen: The Inheritance
For the Louisa May Alcott Bookclub, I read The Inheritance. It was Miss Alcott’s first novel (written when she was a mere 17), but went undiscovered until well after her death. This work caught my attention because it was set in my favorite era, 19th century England. My full review can be found here. After…
Classics Bookclub: Louisa May Alcott
This month for our Classics Bookclub, we invited you to read any work by Louisa May Alcott. I’ve been very excited about this because I found a few short stories that I wanted to read by Alcott, and I like the flexibility of being able to choose any title I’d like from a given author….
