Thanks, Karen, This is my second book for the challenge. I may have the categories for Mansfield Park and Frankenstein interposed--by that I mean Frankenstein I may have listed as a 19th century classic and Mansfield Park as a Classic by a Woman. Or vice versa. Oh, dear. Each could be for either category, which has me a bit, well, lacking in total recall.
Just uploaded my review of A Glass of Blessings by Barbara Pym. I love this challenge because it encourages me to read books I already own and want to read!
Hi Karen: just listed my review of Isabel Colgate's The Blackmailer; hope I did so correctly! The entries in this category look wonderful; I can't wait to read the other participants' reviews.
Hi Karen, linked to my first book for the challenge: Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell.
ReplyDeleteFinished The King's General by Daphne du Mauier. :)

Oops, I accidentally added In This House of Brede here as well as in the 20th Century category where it was meant to be. My apologies!
ReplyDeleteFirst review!
ReplyDeleteMy review of "Lolly Willowes" by Sylvia Townsend Warner is up! An intriguing book about life as a single woman at the turn of the 20th century.
ReplyDeleteI've added my review for Delta Wedding by Eudora Welty.

ReplyDeleteHi Carol, have just posted my review for category Classic by a Woman. Many thanks
ReplyDeleteI've just finished Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell for this category. It's my favourite read for this challenge yet.
ReplyDeleteBook number 6: Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
ReplyDeleteI just finished re-reading one of my favorite books - Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte!
ReplyDelete"The Harp in the South" is a superbly written book that I could not put down. What a joy it is to get so totally absorbed in a book.
ReplyDeleteThe Murder of Roger Ackroyd. This has been my least favorite Christie novel so far, because I saw the ending coming from the beginning. :(
ReplyDeleteJust finished Daniel Deronda yesterday... after starting it in July. That was a long and difficult read.
ReplyDeleteThe Waves is Woolf at her most difficult. Not for the faint of heart. I love most of her writing, but this? Not so much.
ReplyDeleteMy second entry to this category is Lud-in-the-Mist by Hope Mirrlees. Its wasn't what I was expecting and was disappointed.
ReplyDeleteCatherine Middleton. I have read The Grand Sophy by Georgette Heyer, for Classic by a woman
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading this classic with my family. Strawberry Girl gave interesting insight into another time and place.
