I've decided to set myself a challenge for 2013 - to read more children's classics! This is a challenge mainly for myself, although I would welcome people joining in with me to spur me on! The great thing about classics is that they're available for free, so if you have an e-reader then you can load it up and get going. Brilliant! Classics can be totally daunting (I don't read enough and I hate myself for it) but I think children's classics have that spark about them that make them fun and exciting to read.
The books I'll be focusing are either children's books or books focusing on younger characters. Below is the list of books I'll be aiming to read. Some of these books I read as a child and can't wait to revisit. Others I haven't read at all which is something I can't wait to change! Whenever I finish one I'll post a review on the blog and on this page. Keep checking back to see how I'm getting on!
Let me know if you have any suggestions for children's classics that I could read :)
