Just finished reading my first book for this challenge, Uncle Tom's Cabin! Looking forward to discovering my next classic :)
ReplyDeleteI've just finished Wives and Daughters by Elizabeth Gaskell. A great read about a Victorian blended family :)
ReplyDeleteI read Agnes Grey for this one. I didn't write a review so much as a passionate defence of Rosalie Murray. :')
ReplyDeleteI read The Bell Jar, by Sylvia Plath. Watching Esther's transition from thinking about how to succeed in life, to how to cope with thoughts of ending her life, was a tough read.
ReplyDeleteJust finished The Song of the Lark. I was not as big a fan as I thought I'd be.
ReplyDeleteJust finished "I Capture the Castle", thanks to Karen listing it as her favorite classic to re-read. I loved it!
ReplyDeleteIt was a delight to finally get my hands on 'Hans Brinker (or The Silver Skates)'! Lovely book.
ReplyDeleteJust finished Little Women...loved it.
ReplyDeleteRead The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson. Spooky fun.
ReplyDeleteI read Votes for Women: A Play in 3 Acts by Elizabeth Robins
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading O Pioneers! by Willa Cather. I thoroughly enjoyed Cather's description of the isolated life of pioneers on the western prairies, despite one distasteful segment of it.
ReplyDeleteI hope listening to books counts. Since suffering a detached retina a month ago I have had to listen to books rather than read print editions. My husband read Frankenstein to me as I recovered from surgery. Reading aloud slows down the experience and we both found that this deepened our experience of this wonderful novel.
ReplyDeleteYes, audio books count! I've listened to two so far for this challenge already.
DeleteI read Castle Rackrent. An interesting book from a historical point of view, but not very much fun to actually read.
ReplyDeleteI read Uncle Tom's Cabin. It was hard to finish because of the content, but I appreciate the value of the story historically and don't regret the investment.
ReplyDeleteUnpopular opinion: I didn't like Little Women. I'm still glad that I read it as part of this challenge, though.
ReplyDeletePoirot Investigates by Agatha Christie. It's a short story collection, and my opinions on the stories were mixed.
ReplyDeleteThe Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson. Big thumbs up! Quite a fun book.
ReplyDeleteAdam Bede! #5 from my list. Wadda ya know? It's pretty good!
ReplyDeleteThe plot of Frankenstein was a bit of a surprise. Popular culture had be thinking I knew more than I did.
ReplyDeleteFinished And Then There Were None, my second Agatha Christie, and thought it was great!
ReplyDeleteI read two different versions of The Secret of the Old Clock!
ReplyDeleteI read Their Eyes Were Watching God.
