Back to the Classics 2022 Wrap-up

For Back to the Classics the challenge is to read classics (must be published before 1972) that fit specific categories. The more categories you complete the more entries you get in the prize drawing at the end of the year. I was aiming to read 12 books for this challenge but I ended up only finishing 11. 

These are the categories I completed:

1. A 19th century classic. (New Grub Street by George Gissing, 1891)

2. A 20th century classic. (Where Angels Fear to Tread by E. M. Forster, 1905)
