July's theme is classics, which I am excited for because I love classics. Moreover, I am a part of a book club that only reads classics, so this will help me finish that group's July pick.
Without further adieu, here is my #AYearAThon classics TBR!
My first book is one that I just picked up last month, Old New York, by Edith Wharton. This is a collection of four novellas about New York in the mid-1800s. I adored Age of Innocence by Wharton, and I am moderately obsessed with New York, so I am greatly looking forward to this read. Plus, I tend to gain more momentum and motivation when I start a read-a-thon with a warm-up book, so this is perfect for that.
Secondly, I plan to read The God of Small Things, by Arundhati Roy. This is my classics book club read. Truthfully, I started reading this years ago, but it wasn't what I was craving at the time, so it's been sitting on my shelf ever since. I am usually really interested in books that take place in Asia and include aspects of Asian culture, so I am glad that I am being somewhat forced into attempting this one again.
Finally, I will be reading J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I am slowly rereading the series this year, and I've actually already started this one. But as it is a classic, and it is a good choice for breaking up Roy's book if it becomes too taxing, I am including it in my pile. I will try my utmost to not just read this one and ignore the other two the whole week long.
Those are the books I plan on reading next week. Will I get through them all? Eh. But we all have to have goals, right?
