      Thanks! The Scarlett Letter is probably the book on this list that I remember the least about! I did like it when I read it in high school, I should read it again!

    The Scarlet Letter is a great choice - love how you chose American History haha. Looks a lot like the reading list for a class I had in my first year of university!

    Smart to create a reading list for a university class! I love how specific and related the books in upper-level courses become. New follower!

    Hi! I got your book blogs message so I thought I’d stop by and give you a follow! If you are interested, I post book reviews, cover reveals and any other bookish topics that are on my mind at Lost in a Book Nook. I would love it if you followed me back :)

    I love how you organized your choices. I think it would be a fun class. I love The Scarlet Letter. I haven't read the rest of them, though! It sounds like I should.
