The topic for this week is books picked up on a whim.
Top 10 Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish

3.) War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
4.) A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens

Inside My Minds 
I really want to read The Illiad and The Odyssey! I’m hoping to get to them soon 🙂
There’s a readathon in June where you have to read a book over 500 pages, I’m either going to read The Illiad and the Odyssey or War and Peace. It’s a two week readathon.
Ooh that sounds like something I need to do because I’m the worst at reading books over 400 pages haha.
It might just give you the perfect motivation.
Pride and Prejudice is personally my favorite classic. I don’t remember why I ended up picking it up (maybe it was also on a whim!), but it was wonderful and each time I read it, I love it more and more.
Never heard of Before Tomorrowland before, the cover looks great, reminds me a little of Metropolis. I haven’t read any of the classics before either. War and Peace in particular looks like a tough read.
The classics intimidate me, especially War and Peace and the Illiad and the Odyssey!
