Ohmygoodness is it July already? It's time to get rollin' on those pesky classics and post your July reads in Mister Linky below. Please only link to your specific review--if you're not sure how to do that all you need to do is click on the title of your post (using this post as an example, I would click on "July Reviews") and copy the web address that pops up on your browser as your URL.
Please use this format for your name: Trish (Oliver Twist)
If you don't have a blog, you can just put your name and book in the "name" field and leave the "url" field blank. Feel free to pester me in the comments section with any problems. ;)
Haven't signed up for the challenge yet? No worries--you can sign up below any time during the challenge!
Have a great month of reading!! And I leave you with one of my favorite clips from a classic-made-into-a-movie (Pride & Prejudice--the new version).
Have a suggestion for the August clip? Let me know!! (otherwise we may be stuck with six P&P clips!)
***NOTE: I'm having issues with the comment tag below not showing up. If the tag isn't there click HERE and scroll down to see/leave comments (yes, it will take you back to this post, but the comments will be below). Does anyone know how to fix this issue??

Yay, I'm first!
Now finally I can get "cranking" on Look Homeward, Angel by Thomas Wolfe since I had to wait until after July 1 to be finished with it.
*Readingfool - yes--that is what the rules state. ;)
Well, you could always post the snake dance from Bride & Prejudice! You know that's really our favorite! Now that the Classic Challenge is getting underway officially, I won't feel so bad on giving up on Water for Elephants. I've been stuck on page 61 forever. Time to go back to the library I'm afraid.
*Em - I almost wrote that in my email to you (about B&P)--too funny! I read Water for Elephants relatively quickly but it wasn't my favorite book--just OK. I think I'm going to have to reshelf Tess for a while--really struggling through it. :/
Hey--the comment link is working now. Did you fix it, or did it magically appear on it's own?
*Laura - I saw that it was working so took off the disclaimer about it not working and now it's not again. GRRRR! I put a post up on blogger help thingy, but I don't know if they are helping me or not (not that I know of). :)
Hi all! I just posted a Classics meme on my website -- Join In!! :)

Sorry, took me 3 tries to get my link right. The 3rd one is OK. Thanks. I'm on to the Golden Bowl!
Kya - no worries!!
Hey! I just posted the link to my first review, then decided I needed to create a new blog after all. Is there anyway to change the URL? The new one is: http://blacksheepbooks.blogspot.com/2008/07/moll-flanders.html
Thanks!
Blacksheep--first, welcome to the challenge! How did you hear about it?
No worries about the link--I've fixed it so it feeds to your post.
Have a great time and if you have any questions, let me know. And your list of classics just for July is quite impressive!
My review of Emma has been posted. :)
Duh. I see that you said to put the name of the book after my name and hit enter before I could think about it again. Sorry Trish.
*Dar - Not a problem!! At least you liked it to your actual post--that's where I do most of my fixing. :) I've fixed it so it has the name of the book. And don't worry! It took me a little bit of time when I first started doing challenges to get used to Mister Linky...
Thanks so much Trish!
I have finished all my challenge books! I was going to submit Love in the Time of Cholera as my submission for what may become a classic, and I see it's already on the list so I'll add a second to it. I read it in addition to my classics, and thoroughly enjoyed the book. I really loved this challenge. Thanks for inviting me, Trini (aka Trish). :-)
