Belittled Women | Amanda Sellet

so-so

This was cute but not memorable. It felt superficial, lacking substance. The banter was sometimes entertaining but mostly useless. A more complex story would have made it more enjoyable. The author did a good job of making the main character unlikable. I kept waiting for the build up to a pivotal moment, but neither ever came.

Wuthering Heights. Emily Bronte | Emily Bront�

I was walking around my neighbourhood when I came across a box out front saying “Free Books & Cd‘s”. I‘ve decided to read some of the classics, last night I ordered some cheap 2nd hand Sylvia Plath and Oscar Wilde. And today I found this gem in the box for free! Such a kind gesture giving away free books ❤️

Pride and Prejudice | Austen

Scochrane26 Yes!! 5y

Scochrane26 You can get a lot of classics for free on kindle. 5y

Scochrane26 @coffeewithbooks I started making an effort to read more classics in the last few years. There‘s some I haven‘t liked at all, but sometimes I‘ll be surprised how much I like one (Frankenstein, Dracula). 5y

marleed It really is fun to read this story both for the book‘s sake but also to recognize so many references to it down the road. The classic I read this year and surprisingly loved was

Rebecca

coffeewithbooks @marleed thank you I will check it out (: 5y

Ruthiella I want to echo @Scochrane26 ! If you have an e-reader you can legally download many classic (including all of Jane Austen) from Project Gutenberg. 😀 (edited) 5y

tpixie @coffeewithbooks I think penguin classics have their own annotations so you could have double the annotations! I agree with @marleed on both counts. There are tons of references/ spin off movies of o& p & Sense & Sensibility that makes reading these extra meaningful. I just read my cousin Rachel and I also enjoyed Rebecca. Also just finished reading Moby Dick and I‘d have to say I‘d read the other four books 1st! 💙 5y

sprainedbrain A wholly enthusiastic YES to getting this book! I have 4 lovely copies myself. 😉 You might also check out the #PemberLittens... we are currently reading it one chapter per day! 5y

bookaholic1 Maybe borrow it from the library before buying it, if you like it then buy it😁😁😁 5y

marleed @Tpixie I‘m hoping to read My Cousin Rachel before the end of this year! 5y

tpixie @marleed I just recently read it and enjoyed it. Her 3rd ‘best‘ book is one I may read also.

Puffin Classics Little Women | Louisa May Alcott

Finally deciding to read this book....I think I have seen every single movie and read one or two #inspiredby stories but I have yet to read the original book by #LouiseMayAlcott and since the actor Jeremy Sisto, who is on the show FBI, reading it aloud for #quarantine during the #covid19 pandemic I thought I would finally get to it. #readmorebooks #bookstagram #booklover #readbooks #littlewomen #classicbooks
