fat but pretty

"Who's ED??" XD

Curiously, I have and read all three. You may be aware of seven others from that period called “The Northanger Abbey Horrid Novels”. I will be reading these next year.

I have watched so many videos on these editions hoping someone would show the text: spacing, font, font size. You are in good company focusing solely on the covers. I don’t see these in US stores. I ordered Middlemarch through Walmart but it’s coming from Book Depository in UK.

So bummed the hardback version of frankenstein is no longer available

I have the canterbury classics version of the complete works of William shakespeare and I honestly don't think I can read it. I dont know how you do it

Isn't her uncle's brother her other uncle? So it's an underdeveloped AND incesteous relationship?! 🤮

Beautiful beautiful books !!!, also, you have the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. 😱

I love that you’re honest about which ones you’ve actually read haha 😂 Quick question about the last flexi-bound ones: are they still good quality as in font size, paper quality? Are they easy to hold open, or is it the kind of binding you have to force open and arms get tired while reading? Thanka

Wow. Basically you could write a list of your books saving everyone 18 minutes of their lives. Exceptionally poor recommendation of anything here. I couldnt believe how shallow opinion you have even on du Maurier. One thing I can appreciate - you have picked great collection and you have a will to read them. Good luck.

Thanks for this! I think Castle of Ontronto is mentioned in Northanger Abbey, which I've recently. It's piqued my interest for classic gothic novels. I've just picked up The Monk from my library. ☺️

These are so beautiful ❤️ i wish i had some too, but they’re not available in Romania. Your collection is amazing though!

Thank you for these recommendations ☺ I'm French and I would like to read classics in English so you gave me some ideas. What is the easiest one to read? And just to know your opinion about it: do you think that "Little women" is not too complicate to understand?

I never seen such pretty books.

Queen of talking about books 😍

Are there any trigger warnings for the monk?

So beautiful! I would love to see a bookshelf tour 💖

Nice.

Wives and Daughters is a favorite classic of mine and my favorite Gaskell as of yet so I hope you enjoy once you get to it :) Also, if you haven't already read it I'd definitely recommend The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins. I enjoyed The Moonstone but I loved The Woman in White! It happens to have one of my favorite literary heroines of all time. Georgette Heyer is another great author to get into; I started reading her works after I finished Austen and I went on a straight marathon until I ran out of books I had on hand.

I completely understand your feelings with The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. I do admire that it unashamedly brought to light issues with regards to domestic abuse within marriages, something that was certainly not being tackled or really acknowledged in Victorian lit. But yeah, while reading it I did get a feeling that this book was more of a message with a story wrapped around it rather than a story with a message. If it weren't for the struggle and social issue that the character Helen was facing, I wouldn't really find her all that interesting to be honest. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall seems to be one of those classics in recent years that get so much praise and hype solely for its themes and message. Its not my favorite Bronte I've read and I don't think its necessarily better than her sisters' works. Personally I find Emily to have better prose and Charlotte to have characters with more depth to them. Sorry for the long comment hehe; its just that 99% of the time whenever I see The Tenant of Wildfell Hall discussed its usually someone raving about it, so it was nice to see someone with a differing opinion. Cheers!

Remember enjoying The Moonstone, love Gaskell and want to read more Heyer. I feel like the prices for Georgette Heyer's books have increased since the release of Bridgerton on Netflix - interesting as these regency books are tamer than Julia Quinns

I never read much of note but i wanna start now ... I didnt like school and we never read any good books. I wanted to start with classics ... I bought Frankenstein, 1984, Salems Lot, A Clokwork Orange, Hamlet & The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn. What book would you recommend to read first?

Really enjoying your channel. I was also disappointed by The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. It was difficult for me to care much for any of the characters it is dragged out significantly.

i have that copy of Castle of Otranto and i can't wait to read it. So happy that you featured it! :)

Also it’s really interesting to me that you’re recommending the modern translation of the Odyssey :) As I am Russian, we have only one “traditional” translation of the Iliad and the Odyssey that everyone reads, but as we discussed it with my Latin teacher, they have a lot of flaws. The Odyssey definitely needs a modern Russian translation but unfortunately the translator who started doing it didn’t receive any financial support from any publishers etc and so we still don’t have it 😨

Hey!! Thank you for recommendations:) I’m a fan of classics but haven’t read some books 🤭 You recommended The Odyssey, what do you think about The Iliad?

This is a really great video! The Hunchback of Notre Dame is on my tbr as well!

Hi Sarah! I just found your channel. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on The Invisible Library. I keep seeing it at the used bookstore near me but didn't really know what it was about. And I'm always looking for books with steampunk elements. I look forward to seeing more of your content and chatting with you about books. Subscribed to your channel to support other small booktubers!!!

Hi, please give an in-depth review of Alexander Hamilton. I would be very interested. Really good video, by the way, I appreciate it.

"The Dark Descent..." has been on my TBR for a while now. Time to read it! Good video, by the way. Eclectic reading month for you.

I really enjoyed this 😊📚 After listening to your list I was wondering if you’ve read The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón or I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith (who also wrote 101 Dalmations). I highly recommend both! If you’ve read them I’d love to know your thoughts. Take care!

Never heard about the Monk before! I need to read that now. I'm wondering if here's a movie.

That is an exciting group of books to read this year!!! And I love your big book of Shakespeare's collected works. That alone would motivate me to read more of him!! Although i do find him pretty difficult without the modern translation as a reference. 😅

Hope you’ll have a great time reading them throughout the year :) I have a couple of unread PELs and I would love to get through as well. On the top of my reading list are Arthur Conan Doyle and Wilkie Collins books.

Wow, that is pretty ambitious. Keep us posted. Looking forward to the reviews.

Your video is adorable, disarming, and very sweet. What a great first video. I subscribed and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Thanks for sharing!

Such an interesting video, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! It’s nice to hear about lesser known classics :)

Woah! This was so eye opening, sarah omg. I’ve read so many novels and didn’t realize they were gothic. That’s so cool! Recently, Heart’s Blood by Juliet Marillier comes to mind. 20/10 recommend

What a great collection, thanks for sharing!

💜 found you thru this! Welcome to the community! 😄

so great to see a video that doesn’t have the same suggestions as everyone else, i definitely need to check out some of these

I USED TO WATCH THE W.I.T.C.H SERIES I NEVER KNEW IT WAS A NOVEL WOW

Welcome to Booktube!

"She ends up meeting this mysterious boy. Of course" 😂😂 I got Gentleman's Guide recently too! Hopefully we'll both enjoy it 😂 I really want to get Circe! I'll be looking forward to seeing what you think of it!

The Clouded Sky looks and sounds fab and Circe cover is so gorg 😍😍

I gave you a shout out on my video today 😀

I added so many to my TBR, thanks for the video!

I need to pick up the Gemma Doyle Trilogy but I just recently read Beauty Queens, and I didn't really like it. So I've been put off buying any more Libba Bray until I've read my copy of The Diviners 😅 I really liked The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, but I couldn't get into the second book in the trilogy 😢 I was quite young when I read it though too! OOOO you've made Eon sound really interesting! YAAASSS I love The Infernal Devices! Because I live in London, I sort of want to do like TID tour of modern day London. But I feel like I would need to reread the series to tab all the places mentioned in the series. Not that I'm complaining 😅 I love Jem!

The millenium triology has been recommended to me by a friend, it's not really my genre but it has so much praise I am tempted to pick it up! 😊 Eon sounds really interesting too but I've never heard of it!! 😯

I'm just reading Clockwork Angel
