Rating: 4.5 / 5 Back in college (let's not consider how many years ago that was!), I read the majority of Jane Austen's works in a very short period of time. I remember enjoying them, but also not fully absorbing the stories given the rapid reading. I have therefore been excited to revisit these stories… Continue reading PRIDE AND PREJUDICE by Jane Austen
Rating: 3.5 / 5 I read and enjoyed THE WIVES by Tarryn Fisher, so I grabbed a copy of THE WRONG FAMILY when I saw it at the used book store even though I didn't know much about it! It fit a recent readathon prompt, so it was time to pick it up! THE WRONG… Continue reading THE WRONG FAMILY by Tarryn Fisher
Rating: 4 / 5 THE NUTCRACKER AND THE MOUSE KING by E.T.A. Hoffmann was one of our December picks for the #ClassicsBuddyRead! While I have seen the ballet, I didn't know the original story so I picked up both an original translation and a graphic novel adaptation by Natalie Andrewson. THE NUTCRACKER AND THE MOUSE… Continue reading THE NUTCRACKER AND THE MOUSE KING by E.T.A. Hoffmann
Rating: 4.5 / 5 Back in college many (many!) years ago, I took a class on Jane Austen where we read most, if not all, of her novels in rapid succession. I remember at the time enjoying them, but not really taking them all in very well having read them too quickly. I was very… Continue reading EMMA by Jane Austen
Rating: 4.5 / 5 JAMAICA INN by Daphne du Maurier was the #ClassicsBuddyRead pick for September. I read and really enjoyed REBECCA by du Maurier and have been wanting to pick up more of her books! JAMAICA INN follows Mary, a young woman who has just lost her mother. Her mother wanted her to go… Continue reading JAMAICA INN by Daphne du Maurier
Rating: 5 / 5 GIOVANNI'S ROOM by James Baldwin was the #ClassicsBuddyRead pick for June. While I had heard of the author, I had not read him before and this wasn't a book that I was familiar with, so I went in not knowing much. GIOVANNI'S ROOM follows David, a young man who has left… Continue reading GIOVANNI’S ROOM by James Baldwin
Rating: 3.5 / 5 I picked up ELYSIUM GIRLS by Kate Pentecost purely because I needed a book with fire on the cover for a recent readathon, but timing is a funny thing and it turns out this one dovetailed nicely into my recent reading. It presents a wild twist on the Dust Bowl after… Continue reading ELYSIUM GIRLS by Kate Pentecost
Rating: 4.5 / 5 THE THORN BIRDS by Colleen McCullough was the #ClassicsBuddyRead pick for April and May. This isn't one that I was at all familiar with when we added it to the list, so I went in only knowing that it was set in Australia. THE THORN BIRDS is a family saga about… Continue reading THE THORN BIRDS by Colleen McCullough
Rating: 5 / 5 THE GRAPES OF WRATH by John Steinbeck is a classic that stuck with me when I originally read it in school. When a friend recently suggested picking it back up, I was on board! THE GRAPES OF WRATH follows the Joads, a family who must leave their Oklahoma farm during the… Continue reading THE GRAPES OF WRATH by John Steinbeck
Rating: 4.5 / 5 For Middle Grade March, we decided to pick a classic children's book for the #classicsbuddyread that I help to host on Bookstagram. CHARLOTTE'S WEB by E.B. White is certainly one that I remember from my childhood, but reading it again there was a lot that I forgot. This classic story finds… Continue reading CHARLOTTE’S WEB by E.B. White
