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.
Thanks, I’m so looking forward to both! I’m kind of expecting to like The Woman in White more, so I’m doing a save-the-best-for-last type thing by reading Moonstone first 😂 And I’m really hoping to fall in love with Heyer!
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
Ooh I haven’t noticed that but it makes a lot of sense! I think people have an idea of Heyer being somehow more prestigious since her books are older, which would maybe contribute to that. At least I got Arabella before any price hikes 😂
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?
Hey! Of the ones you bought, I think I’d recommend Frankenstein, because it’s not very long and you’re probably already familiar with parts of the story. That might make it easier to get into it. I hope you enjoy!! :)
