Decades ‘08

Read at least 8 books in 8 consecutive decades in ‘08. You may cross-post with other challenges and/or change your list at any time. The only restriction is that books in the 2000’s do not count! (Decades ‘08)

Progress: 6 out of 8 read.
Decades read: 1850s, 1860s, 1880s, 1890s, 1910s, 1920s, 1930s x2, 1940s x2.
