This classic isn’t as onerous as some of the others I’ve picked up so I’ll be dedicating all of my efforts to this one rather than trying to juggle two reads this week!

I’m reading Cathy’s Book because… I’m in the middle of revising for an exam and need something light to read between study sessions – plus I really want to hit that 75 book target so from here on in I’m picking the shortest books on the shelf!

I’m working my way through the whole series of Anne books by L.M. Montgomery and I was ready for another Anne and Gilbert fix. I have high hopes for this book following the disappointment of Anne of Windy Willows.

Earlier in the year I read lots of great reviews of this book – so I treated myself to a copy with some gift vouchers I received from colleagues at work. I’m also reading it for the I Heard it Through the Grapevine challenge. Of course it’s been a while so I can’t for the life of me remember what it’s about!

When I was looking for ideas for the Classics Challenge my friend Emma suggested Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. Having been turned against Dickens when forced to read Hard Times at the tender age of eleven I was a little dubious – so rather than rushing out to buy a copy I decided to listen to the novel instead – courtesy of LibriVox.

Anne of Windy Willows sees Anne take up a new post as Principal of Summerside High School where she must outface the dreaded Pringle clan. I’m looking forward to the budding romance between Anne and the handsome Gilbert Blythe *sigh*
