One Year of Classic Reads

This is my 47th post, one day after my 1 year anniversary of starting this blog.

My original goal was one post per week, which would be 52 in a year. My posts were much more sporadic at first, and I was also figuring out how to start my own business this year, so I’ll give myself a break on that one. 

Number of followers: 127

Total words : about 35,000

I started this blog to focus on classic literature, but I have many other interests that I like to share and dialogue with others about, too.

Next year (2021), I hope to post 3+ times per week. This will take more planning and discipline, but I am hopeful I can do it.

Books I’ve Covered in the First Year: (Click to see that post)

• A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
• The Grinch Who Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss
• The Nutcracker by E.T.A. Hoffman
• The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
• The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis
• The Light Princess by George MacDonald
• Cross Purposes by George MacDonald
• The Golden Key by George MacDonald
• The Wise Woman or The Lost Princess by George MacDonald
• The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde
• Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

Any requests or recommendations of classic books you want me to cover in the coming year?

Exciting blogs for the next year:

My husband and I plan to travel to Germany (pandemic-pending!). I had started learning German this past year, and I hope to learn German to a level where I can read fairy tales!

Also, I hope to share more of my own writings, and will be promoting my books as I publish them.

I will still be covering Classics, but I might also venture out into more recent literature.

I will be sharing some book and thoughts on psychology, philosophy, and theology as well.

I also want to share other budding authors’ writings to help them get the word out.

And lastly, I will be giving my blog a little bit of a makeover around the new year, to make it look nicer and more easy to navigate.

Stick around! I’d love to hear how this last year of blogging has gone for you, too!
