Jennifer’s reviews are always thoughtful and her choices illuminating. I highly recommend following the links above.
Thanks, Jennifer, and thanks Serenity Press for their donation. We’ll be putting you in touch.
We didn’t have a winner for the Classic’s challenge. How did you go? Did you complete any of the squares? Maybe completing the Classics card can be our challenge for next year?
By the way, if you’re wondering what classic books or stories you can access online, check out our lists here. This past week, I’ve been busy on TROVE, finding more links to forgotten serialised novels and short stories (mostly crime and romance) from the 20s through to the 60s.
