Nice project, I never really paid attention to the publication dates of the books I read, but might keep an eye this year, I have set to read a minimum of 5 classics this year so should help a bit but the large majority will definitely be recent publications. Looking forward to hearing your reviews / thoughts on these 10 books

Thanks. I'm not sure if I'll find better books this way, but hopefully I will! At the very least, it has me thinking more about older books.

84 Charring Cross Road is one of my favorite books of all time. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it.

I'm looking forward to reading it. It may be later in the year (maybe nf Nov), but I'm hoping to have them all done by the end of the year.

I love Slaughtwehouse Five. It was my 2nd favourite last year. I also don't like war stories all that much, but this is totally different

[@JoshsBookishVoyage]

Glad to hear that! Honestly makes me feel better about it. I'll probably pick it up in the first half of the year
