I think with this video alone you have enough pages to last the entire year! Best of luck and what a great idea to read the big ones early on in the year when you are most motivated. I actually like to start with short books so that I can finish a few very quickly and have that motivate me.
I know 🙈 I'm so embarrassed. Finishing shorter books is a great idea to start a new reading year as well! I was just worried that if I don't read the big ones now I'll never read them lol. Hope you have a great reading year
So many fantastic books! I love Wives and Daughters and Villette - both fantastic books. I've just started Moby Dick too and the writing so far is surprisingly beautiful! Yay for the Chronicles of Barsetshire - don't be put off by the size or number of books. They are very very entertaining, hilarious and gossip-y.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you loved Wives and Daughters and Villette, makes me more confident when thinking about reading them :) Oh I'm glad you like the writing of Moby Dick, I'm so intimidated by that book lol. You read so many classics! Thanks for the encouragement
I read Ivanhoe a few years ago and was really surprised by just how much I loved it. It has a lot of really interesting discussions and more complexity & nuance in the characters than I was expecting. I haven't read anything by Elizabeth Gaskell, but she's high on my list of classics I want to try.
Benjamin Britten wrote an opera based on Billy Budd, another Herman Melville story. I recommend both the book and the opera - that opera is far from boring.
Thank you so much! ❤️ I’m glad to know you loved Shirley!🥰 I would love to buddy read Jane Eyre but I’m too packed with my TBRs now - im focusing catching up on my books for the Asian project I’m doing (hosting LOL), and also have BOOKTUBE prize assignment coming up shortly! Honestly I don’t know when I’ll get to these books so that I’m afraid I don’t have time to buddy read Jane Eyre, sorry 😭
Such a stunning penguin classics collection!! 😍
Thank you =D
