2013 Pre-1960 Classic Children's Books Reading Challenge
I wasn't planning on joining any more reading challenges (they aren't how I structure my reading anyway), until I saw this one hosted by Kimberly at Turning the Pages. It's perfect for me as I'm going to be reading quite a number of these books anyhow, and it's always nice to find a new community of people with similar interests.
Many of the books that I'll be reading in my quest to read 1001 Children's Books before I grow up, will fall into the pre-1960 category. I've even just finished a number of them such as The Hobbit and Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, now I've got an extra impetus to blog about them.
Just a few rules.
More than 60 pages.
Post a list of the books you've read at the beginning of every month.
