This was a fun one! I picked mystery novel as my genre and read The Circular Staircase by Mary Roberts Rinehart. Highly recommend for a light read!
ReplyDeleteI picked an early "mystery" novel, The Woman in White, by Wilkie Collins. Think Charles Dickens, but make it mystery!
ReplyDeleteMy review of: Phantastes I was disappointed, though it may have suffered from too high expectations.
ReplyDeleteI went with Planet of the Damned for classic sci-fi, and it was mostly a fun, pulp adventure experience. Thinking about reading more by the author eventually.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading Babel-17, a classic sci-fi by a gay African-American. Black Lives Matter. Happy gay pride month!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed my pick for this one, The Hobbit, classic fantasy.
ReplyDeleteRead The Conjure-Man Dies, a wonderful Harlem Renaissance mystery from 1932. So sorry the author died before he could write any more.
ReplyDeleteI suddenly realized The Fellowship worked perfectly for this, and I'm glad too, because I needed a reread to continue after watching the first movie, and I loved it so much!
ReplyDeleteMy original choice for a genre book (Western fiction) was "Cimarron" by Edna Ferber. I could only obtain it through the inter-library Link+ system which usually works well. However, early this year our county library system was hit by a ransomware cyber attack. After some weeks we did finally get the catalog back but we are still shut out of Link+ So I have substituted "Giant" by Edna Ferber which I had also long wanted to read. I hope this is Okay.
