The question is now, can I write a review of the missing books in time? The wrap up deadline is midnight December 31st. (PST = 9 o'clock next morning here).
UPDATE: I did it! And I've learned the lesson. In 2019 I'm going to write about the books as I read them! Promise!
Here is my revised list of books. Red means not read, green is read. Blue = in progress.
1. A 19th century classic - (published 1800 - 1899).
