Challenge Link-Up Post: Classic Novella
Please link your reviews for your Classic Novellahere. This is only for the Classic Novellacategory. This includes any single work of narrative fiction shorter than 250 pages. If you do not have a blog, or somewhere public on the internet where you post book reviews, please write your mini-review/thoughts in the comments section. If you like, you can include the name of your blog and/or the title of the book in your link, like this: "Karen K. @ Books and Chocolate (Ethan Frome)."
Just linked hopefully to my rewview of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens which fulfills the category choose a classic novella for the 2019 Back to the Classics Challenge. Thanks
Joanna Cannan's novella "Princes in the Land" had sat on by TBR shelf for a long time. Thanks to Back to the Classics I finally read it and though it would not say it is an entertaining book, it has certainly made me think a great deal about how we still work to free women from gender based expectations that limit their lives.
After my English teacher failed to teach us that "The Metamorphosis" wasn't just about the magical transformation of a man into a bug, I decided to re-read it for this challenge. Thanks for providing the opportunity!
For my second submission in this category, I reviewed all 5 of Charles Dickens' 'Christmas Books.' I put them in quotations because not all of them are actually Christmas related.

ReplyDeleteI just finished my first book for this year's challenge. Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteSorry, I made a duplicate entry, Karen. My apologies.
ReplyDeleteJust hopefully linked to my review of the Stranger by Albert Camus, which fits into the classic novella category.
ReplyDelete"Adrift on the Nile", my first book by the Nobel Prize winner Naguib Mahfouz. A bit of a flashback to the 60s hippie days, but in Cairo.
ReplyDeleteOops I just realized I forgot to post after completing the Stranger by Albert Camus. Thanks for hosting this again.
ReplyDeleteI read The Adventure's of Pippi Longstocking for this category. I wish I had read it as a child - I would have enjoyed it much more then.

ReplyDeleteI read I am Legend, by Richard Matheson; one of the classics of the horror genre. I was pleasantly surprised - a very good read!
ReplyDeleteMy review of: The Shadow Over Innsmouth
ReplyDeleteBreakfast at Tiffany's was underwhelming. Hopefully my next one goes better.

ReplyDeleteCatherine Middleton. I have read True Grit
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed "Catcher in the Rye" and glad that I finally read this classic!
ReplyDeleteOOPS! #58 I entered the title backwards - It should be The Princess and Curdie. And it is one of my favorites, too! :)
