A Classics Reading Challenge

A 52 book Classics Reading Challenge full of novels from Jane Austen, Leo Tolstoy, The Bronte Sisters, and many more! 

This past year I set a goal to read 52 classic books by the time I turn 30. Well, I turn 29 in December so that gives me a little over one year to finish it up and I'm afraid I'll need every minute to finish off this list. Once I picked up Middlemarch I started to think this may have been a bit of an aggressive goal ha! I shared all of this on Instagram Stories a few months ago, but realized that I never shared it here so it seemed like a great time to give an update!

Many of you wanted the list for yourself so sign up below to receive a printable version for yourself! I actually keep one copy on my phone and then a laminated copy so I can physically check them off along the way... So satisfying! I'd love to know how many you've already read or if there are any others that I should keep in mind for the future!

Yikes, I better get to it! To be fair, I didn't make the list until May of this year so to knock of 11 in 6 months while reading other books isn't too bad I guess. 

P.S. These are the gorgeous books in the photo! Influenced by Kate Middleton's desk, of course.
