EXcellent X's #atozchallenge

Day 24 of the April A to Z Challenge

A Book Extravaganza - featuring classics and some of my favorite books

Classic: Great Expectations by Charles Dickens (I had to cheat for this, see what I did there?)

Synopsis:Humble, orphaned Pip is apprenticed to the dirty work of the forge but dares to dream of becoming a gentleman — and one day, under sudden and enigmatic circumstances, he finds himself in possession of "great expectations." In this gripping tale of crime and guilt, revenge and reward, the compelling characters include Magwitch, the fearful and fearsome convict; Estella, whose beauty is excelled only by her haughtiness; and the embittered Miss Havisham, an eccentric jilted bride.

Dashing D's #atozchallenge

Day 4 of the April A to Z Challenge

A Book Extravaganza

Classic: David Copperfield by Charles Dickens

Synopsis: It is the story of a young man’s adventures on his journey from an unhappy & impoverished childhood to the discovery of his vocation as a successful novelist. Among the gloriously vivid cast of characters he encounters are his tyrannical stepfather, Mr Murdstone; his formidable aunt, Betsey Trotwood; the eternally humble yet treacherous Uriah Heep; frivolous, enchanting Dora; & the magnificently impecunious Micawber, one of literature’s great comic creations.

Other: Green Eggs and Ham and The Cat in the Hat by Dr, Seuss (I grouped the two together for D since they're both by Dr, Seuss).
            The Diary of Anne Frank by Anne Frank
