Robinson Crusoe | Daniel Defoe

All these things, with some very surprising incidents in some new adventures of my own, for ten years more, I may perhaps give a farther account of hereafter.

Sicilian Romance | Ann Radcliffe

pick

(1790) Ear-read during a long drive, this is Radcliffe's second novel and packed full of Gothic tropes: an exotic location (Sicily! Land of hot-blooded lovers!); a large sprawling mansion with decaying disused maybe-haunted rooms where mysterious lights appear; secret passages, family scandals, star-crossed love, and lots of fainting and almost-fainting and bursting into tears. It's a lot of muchness, but it was a welcome traveling companion

Ruthiella I‘ve only read The Mysteries of Udolpho, but the heroine in that one cries and faints in every chapter, it felt like. 😂😭 1mo

swynn @Ruthiella I haven't read Udolpho yet, but ... yeah ... 1mo

Evelina: Or, the History of a Young Lady's Entrance into the World | Fanny Burney

pick

It‘s a #RandomClassics miracle! I finished Evelina!
I ended up restarting it a couple of weeks ago on a long hike with a different narrator and that made all the difference! I quite enjoyed this and I think I‘ll probably pick up a little print version sometime in the future.

TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! So exciting!! 😂 I enjoyed this one, but all the dreadful relatives/bickering just gave me secondhand embarrassment too much to really love it haha 2mo

Letters | Horace Walpole

#litsylove #litsyloveblitz My oldest letter to respond to is about 3 months back, but I have decided once again to send every LitsyLove member a postcard, so my letter writing will be further delayed. I'm happy with the idea, though, so hopefully this goes smoothly 😜

dabbe Does it have a 🫎 on it? 🤩🤩🤩 5mo
