I know, it is Septemper, but I faund this funny reading challenge a week ago and I am sure, that I will manage to read 12 classics during 3 months. If I don't manage, I will use those books, I have read before in this year.
So 12 books. That sounds funny. I am quite sure, I have read more than
those two classics books, that I have used in this blog before (31.1. and
30.7.)
5. A vintage girl’s novel
1. A classic book that’s getting made into a movie or TV show (or has been
recently adapted) J. M. Barrie Peter Pan.
2. A book by Charlotta Brontë The Profesor. Sometimes I like it a lot, sometimes not.
3. An unfinished classic J. R. R. Tolkien The Children of Hurin, finnished by his son Christopher. ❤️
4. An adventure novel Tove Jansson is very famous author with her Moomies. Moominsommer Madness (1954) was New for me. I read this in middsommer.
5. A vintage girl novel. Anni Swan is famous Finnish author, who wrote girl novels, that we love. Book of Family Antell ant their moving to Australia was new for me. I read this in August. I read later one novel in English if I have time.
6. A classic by an African-American author. The only one over 50 year book that suits here and has been translated in Finnish is Toni Morrison The Bluest Eye. So I read it and I liked the book.
7. An ancient text
8. A classic with an antihero or antiheroine Charles Dickens Mugby jungtion.

10. A French novel Victor Hugo Les Misérables and Simone de Beauvoir Les Inséparebles (2020), it seems, that this is not translated in English yet, I read it in Finnish.
