    I read Pamela by Samuel Richardson. It is genuinely the worst book I've ever read.

    My first John Steinbeck novel. It was quite poignant and sad, although others call it hopeful. Still, I liked it a lot. I may need to re-read it and ponder it more.

    The Leopard by Giuseppe di Lampedusa. Since he only wrote one novel and I hadn't read it, he was going to be new, I guess! I thought it was really good, so thanks for the prod to read it!

    I read A Bell for Adano by John Hersey. This book won the 1945 Pulitzer Prize for Novel. It was a light-hearted read, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    I read The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie. It was so good and I've now gone on to read a couple more books by Christie. I don't know why I waited so long to read her...

    I read "Right Ho, Jeeves." I've never read Wodehouse before and heard he was hilarious so I thought I'd give Jeeves a shot.

    As I do, I bought this book because it was published by Virago. I had never heard of the author which is not surprising because this is the only novel she wrote. It's wonderful. I feel blessed by the category "By an Author New to You." It could so easily have been left on my TBR shelf. I think it is the best book I have read this year.

    Oops! I forgot to add the title of the book in my link (it should be The House of the Wolfings.)

    I as surprised by the dispassionate tone of Twelve Years a Slave - but found the horrors of slavery spoke for themselves.

    Enjoyed The Quiet American by Graham Greene. Surprised I had never read his books before, this one was great.

    I read Sultana's Dream and Selections from The Secluded Ones by Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain. It was very insightful about purdah and what it was like living as a Muslim woman in India in the early 1900s.

    War in Heaven is a unique Grail quest. The book wasn't quite my style, but I don't think I'd mind reading another of Charles Williams' works.

    My first classic of the year, and the only one I ended up loving! I doubt I'll manage to read more books for the remaining prompts this year, but with checking my read list I still managed 6 books! Very proud of myself, and am excited for next year!

    I entered 2 books here. One will end up somewhere else in the final wrap up. Robert Louis Stevenson was a new author as was Edward P. Roe.
