Halfway through the year, y’all. That just doesn’t seem possible!
Continuing on with my personal challenge to “tackle the classics,” these FIVE are on my TBR list for the latter 6 months of ’18. Of the five, I’m probably most excited about Brave New World by Huxley.
I still have plenty of YA choices laying around, the rest of Kathy Reichs’ Bones series to finish, and a few nonfiction quickies I want to knock out before the year wraps up. A part of me would like to think these classics will take priority but, let’s be real, YA tends to rule my life. (And I love it.)
Any suggestions on which one I should read first, in this TBR stack? Love them? Hate them?
Love,
B + H
I’ve got Dracula on my list as well and I am SO DETERMINED to finally read It! Hopefully we both enjoy It! 🙄

I thought I saw you mention Dracula not that long ago! I’m thinking I’ll save it ‘til maybe around Halloween – really get into all the creepy vibes. Curious to see how you like it, too! 🧛♂️

I think that’s my plan too! At this point it seems wrong to read it in the summer and not around Halloween aha

I LOVE Dracula, it’s one of my all time favorite classic! I suggest you save it for the Halloween time- it’s so atmospheric and perfect for that time 😀

Ohhhh, that’s what I just mentioned in the other comments! I think I’m gonna put it aside and read it during Halloween for the “full effect.” 🎃🧛♂️🍁

Love the images! ‘Brave New World’ is a totally creepy and fantastic piece of dystopian fiction, hope you enjoy!

I loved 1984, which honestly surprised me – I had this preconceived idea in my brain that I would dislike it. So I’m hoping I feel the same about BNW! ❤️

It’s fairly ridiculous how much I look forward to your pictures and these ones DID NOT DISAPPOINT. That radio!! *happy sigh* ❤️❤️ And while I really liked Catch-22 when we read it in highschool, I think Dracula might be an appropriate summer/autumn read!

Ahhh, so glad you love the pictures! I get sooooo excited to go home after work and take them/dig out different props. That radio was a SCORE – found it at a flea market a couple weekends ago for $10 and it’s a beauty. 😍 Thinking I’ll save Dracula til later this year then and maybe tackle Brave New World first? I’m excited about Dracula since everyone is giving it a “yes.”

Catch 22 is absolutely demented – I liked it. Didn’t understand it, but I liked it.

😂😂 PERFECT! I’d be lying if I said I didn’t buy this one partially because I liked the cover. Curious to see how I feel about it!
