Back to the Classics Challenge 2016

Link to challenge announcement post

Host: Karen K @ Books and Chocolate
Dates: January 1 - December 31, 2016

Guidelines - to successfully complete the challenge and qualify for the final prize:
  • Read classic books, from 12 categories (but you don't have to read twelve books to participate in the challenge).
  • All books must be read in 2016. Books started before January 1, 2016 do not qualify.
  • There will be links for posting reviews for each category. All reviews must be linked up by December 31, 2016. You must also post a wrap-up review and link it to the challenge no later than December 31, 2016.
  • All books must have been written at least 50 years ago; therefore, books must have been written by 1966 to qualify for this challenge. The ONLY exceptions are books published posthumously.
  • E-books and audiobooks are eligible.
  • Books can crossover with other challenges.
  • Books may NOT crossover within this challenge. You must read a different book for EACH category, or it doesn't count.
  • Updated: Children's classics are acceptable, but please, no more than 3 total for the challenge.
  • A blog isn't necessary, you can link to reviews on Goodreads or any other publicly accessible online site.
  • The deadline to sign up for the challenge is March 1, 2016.
  • You don't have to make a list of books in advance; but if you do, your list can be changed at any time.
  • Books may be read in any order.
Categories:
  1. A 19th Century Classic - any book published between 1800 and 1899.
  2. A 20th Century Classic - any book published between 1900 and 1966. Just like last year, all books MUST have been published at least 50 years ago to qualify. The only exception is books written at least 50 years ago, but published later.
  3. A classic by a woman author.
  4. A classic in translation. Any book originally written published in a language other than your native language. Feel free to read the book in your language or the original language.
  5. A classic by a non-white author. Can be African-American, Asian, Latino, Native American, etc.
  6. An adventure classic - can be fiction or non-fiction. Children's classics like Treasure Island are acceptable in this category.
  7. A fantasy, science fiction, or dystopian classic. Dystopian could include classics like 1984, and children's classics like The Hobbit are acceptable in this category also.
  8. A classic detective novel. It must include a detective, amateur or professional. This list of books from the Golden Age of Detective Fiction is a great starting point if you're looking for ideas.
  9. A classic which includes the name of a place in the title. It can be the name of a house, a town, a street, etc. Examples include Bleak House, Main Street, The Belly of Paris, or The Vicar of Wakefield.
  10. A classic which has been banned or censored. If possible, please mention why this book was banned or censored in your review.
  11. Re-read a classic you read in school (high school or college). If it's a book you loved, does it stand the test of time? If it's a book you disliked, is it any better a second time around?
  12. A volume of classic short stories. This must be one complete volume, at least 8 short stories. It can be an anthology of stories by different authors, or all the stories can be by a single author. Children's stories are acceptable in this category also.
