I also have a list of "A Century of Books" where I list a book of every year of the century, if I read one.

I have only participated in the years where I included a link under the year. However, I have read books from most of those years and have added at least one for those who are interested in reading a book from that specific year.

You can find all the challenges so far on Simon's page Stuck in a Book under 'Read the year' Clubs.

  1. I didn't realize they have already featured all these years. I love this event. I have a lot listed for 1970

    1. Same here, Emma, I've only done six of these, so participated for three years. But it's a great way to find different classics.
