    I love this list! Especially happy to see Rebecca on the list as I'm writing on it for my MA in English Literature as I read it for my undergrad. The only thing (just as it's a major point of the novel and the themes) is that the 'protagonist' of Rebecca isn't called Rebecca. Rebecca is the dead wife and the protagonist is never named which is vital as the book is about how her identity if affected by the remains of Rebecca's presence in the house. Hopefully, that makes sense - I just didn't want you to get confused when reading it but I hope you enjoy it so much, personally I love it :)

    • @AClockworkReader

      @pokemonumbreon1 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Haha it's okay yeah a lot of summaries about Rebecca do that and it's a little disheartening when people don't like the book simply because summaries aren't clear about that so they get confused :')

    they both die at the end ruined me for like 3 days. i knew it was going to hurt going in but it was not the punch in the stomach i thought it was- it was like falling down a stone staircase and hitting every single step in a new part of your body. you think by two thirds of the way down there's no way it can hurt anymore, but there's a new pain each time and you can't stop the momentum and avoid the hurt. it's a great book :)

It was one of the books I was supposed to read during high school but I'm not someone who enjoyed being forced to read and over analyze books for English classes. 15 year old me barely read any of it and I didn't enjoy what I did read of it but I hope that you can enjoy it.

  • @faithelizabethhunter761
    @faithelizabethhunter761 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I read a Tale of Two Cities twice last year. It's so deep but quite slow. I read it because of the Infernal Devices, and the parallels are AMAZING.
    I fell deeper in love with Will, which seemed impossible, but Dickens & Clare are just beautiful together. Two Cities is 3 books in 1, the first book is really, really slow & doesn't make that much sense. But the story starts tying together in the 2nd book and comes to a heartbreaking conclusion in the 3rd book.
    I think the hardest part of Dicken's book is that it's plot driven, but has a lot of heavy character sketches. Tedious reading, but gorgeous characters.
    And Victoria is such a great show! I'm so excited for Season 2!!!

    Wooo I'm reading A Tale of Two Cities right now also! Personally I think it's rather good. Caution: It's a bit slower (in the beginning at least, I'm only like 140 pages in) and can be difficult to understand if you aren't good at interpreting 18th century English. Definitely worth it though! Has quite a sharp wit, that Dickens does.

    I finally got around to the Torch Against the Night this month and oh boy, it's good! I can't believe I have to wait until June now for the next book! So I suggest you read that book closer to the third book's release date. Also His Dark Materials is so good! Definitely get around to that =] this year I finally want to get around to the more fantasy/scifi classics/favourites like Leviathan Wakes, Ready Player One, The Gunslinger, Lies of Locke Lamora, Dracula, Frankenstein, Dragon Rides of Pern etc.

    I had no idea they actually published Jane’s book . That’s so cute ! I ordered it the second you talked about it . Great video !

    You got the plot of Rebecca kind of wrong, as a warning for anyone planning on reading it (Rebecca is the name of the dead wife- it's a big point of the novel that the "main character" isn't given a name). It's still a really good book, as is My Cousin Rachel, also by Daphne du Maurier. The film's great too!

    I think it's sweet that you are reading Tale of Two Cities because of Will and Tessa.
    I named my new white violin Carstairs and I am learning the violin because of him so it's sweet.

    I plan on reading The Mortal Instruments series, The Infernal Devices Trilogy, and Jesus Behaving Badly by Mark L. Strauss. I will definitely look into most of the books in this video.

    That Inevitable Victorian Thing sounds so good! Good luck with your 2018 reading!

    Even though you have so many books on your list, I just have to recommend The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman. It's one of my favorite series. The premise is there's an interdimentional library that collects books from various alternate universes. There's steampunk, magic, dragoms, far, vampires, and so much more. The first one takes place in a variant of Victorian London. Not enough people talk about this book and I want more people to love it as much as I do. Book 4 in the series just came out and it was wonderful.

    The funniest book I have read this year so far is written by a guy called Phil Street. A good dose of British humour. Four men on days out visiting Pubs, Bars and Nosh Houses. Silly banter with a lot of questionable historical fact? Available on Amazon. Days Out (The Funboy3) a catalogue of ridiculous yarns.

    Rebecca is one of my books to read this year as well. I'm halfway through and it is pretty amazing.

    • @ayshazaheen3402
      @ayshazaheen3402 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      But you got the sypnosis VERY wrong. Her husband being or not being in love with his dead wife isn't much of a concern in her discoveries. Rebecca had an everlasting presence for her beauty, wit, class, and sophistication. She felt shadowed by the glory Rebecca had left behind, and also ostracised by those whose expectations she didn't meet. I hope you read it soon. ❤

    Rebecca by Daphne Du Marier is one of those thriller gothic novels. It has a dark atmosphere and enigmatic characters! I'd recommend reading it around Halloween. Also, check out the 1940 film adaption--it accurately depicts the story and it's in black and white, so I personally thought it added to the whole sinister-vibe !

    Persepolis is amazing. We read it in class. Just a note though, the movie goes into Persepolis 2 so if you don’t want spoilers, read that first.

    I’m in the same boat with you about Tale of Two Cities, I want to read it because of The Infernal Devices. I tried but had trouble with his writing style, I’m hoping to try again when my understanding for more complex language develops.

    Tales from Shadowhunters Academy is soooooo good bc it covers stories from mortal instruments but also post-infernal dervices while having its own plot

    I've had 'The Bear and the Nightingale' gathering dust on my shelf for the past couple of months, definitely gonna get around to it soon :D
    (Also, 'Rebecca' is fantastic, one of Du Maurier's best!)
