"The progress of Vice is gradual and imperceptible..."
I started out liking this but as it progressed it got a little to melodramatic. I can definitely see why this novel caused waves when published- it‘s very scandalous and sexual for its time. However, I‘ve come to realize that I am not a fan of gothic novels as a whole and it seems that not even the drama of murder and lust can change that for me.

Overwrought morality tale, but it started with a Z. 😂 Actually it was interesting from a humanities standpoint. For #litsyAtoZ, I'm 20/26. I still need J (in progress), N, O, Q, V, and X. #serialreader
It took me many years to come back and finish this novel, but it is Gothic in the extreme, and such a good, good read. Love it!
# 17 of 100 Classics Challenge
Scandalous love affair.....an investigators revenge.... a great beginning!
#LitsyClassics @Sarah83 9 books down! I've completed most of the 'awkward' letters - w, x, y and z!

I've found a place for us all to hang out! 😂😂😂
Went to Osterley (a National Trust estate) en route to hospital and had to use Google Maps to get us out. When I saw the name of the nature reserve, I knew I had to screenshot & share on here!
Tagged book is one of 3 physical books that I've brought with me in preparation for tomorrow's appointment!
Done. Gotta move on. It was getting a tad better by this point. But it‘s soooooo melodramatic. I‘m afraid it will put me into a slump.
I was going to use it for #LitsyAtoZ.
But I found a Joyce Carol Oates possibility- Zombie - and after reading Black Water, I‘m happy for any excuse to read more of her.
{sigh} This is why I don‘t nap.
I fell asleep earlier tonight while reading. I was awoken after an hour or so. Which is good - I needed to take out my contacts at the very least.
But now I can‘t fall back asleep 😴
Starting this one... we‘ll see how far I get. I‘m secretly hoping it‘s boring 🤣

Another one read for a challenge. Or I would have bailed.
I've decided to (probably) join in on the #litsyclassics challenge next year! All of these selections I either own or can access for free (most via #serialreader), so it's perfect for not spending money. There are six rereads, but only of books I haven't read since middle school.
I love planning reading lists and then reading whatever I want, so we'll see what happens! I hope at least to get through some of my owned TBR. 😊
If anyone is struggling with finding an entry for 4. Starts with 'z' on the #litsyreadingchallenge2017, Zofloya is available on the #serialreader app
