Rebecca | Daphne Du Maurier, Dame

pick

I never posted a review of Rebecca so I saved it for yesterday's #someoneswatchingsunday and then forgot. 😆 But I seem to be so late to the party with this book that everyone's already read it! Just in case you haven't, I'll add my voice to the choir and say IT'S SO GOOD GO READ IT RIGHT NOW!! It's such a fun suspenseful ride and Anna Massey's narration is great. It's didn't take very long for it to hook me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Natasha.C.Barnes It was also #publishedinthe1930s which is why I used it for one of the #Bookriot #readharderchallenge categories (published between 1900-1950). #hallowreads #uncannyoctober 7y

robinb I know I read this years ago....don‘t remember much. Maybe time for a re-read. 7y

Natasha.C.Barnes @robinb Try the audiobook! It's awesome. 7y

aschermetz So glad you loved it. It's one of my all-time faves!! 7y

robinb @Natasha.C.Barnes 👍🙌 7y

RealBooks4ever Confession: I still haven't read it! 😒 7y

Natasha.C.Barnes @RealBooks4ever Yay!! So I'm not just preaching to the choir! Give it a try sometime, I'm so glad I did. I thought I wasn't in the mood for a "classic" but it's so gripping you don't have to be! 7y

The Arts | Hendrik Willem Van Loon

The Arts was originally #publishedinthe1930s. Underneath the tattered jacket of my edition is a #bare cover with a debossed image that I can't quite make sense of. Van Loon often speaks directly to the reader as a #firstpersonnarrator and manages to dedicate nearly 700 Pages to #nonreadingpursuits.

Dracula (Revised) | Bram Stoker

#publishedinthe1930s does not necessarily mean first published in the 1930s. I am taking advantage of this loophole to show that love of horror seems to run in my family. This edition is from 1931 and has been passes down in my family. #uncannyOctober @RealLifeReading

CrowCAH So cool! 😍 7y

The Savage Tales of Solomon Kane | Robert E. Howard

#UncannyOctober #PublishedInThe1930s

I'm going with a few classic of fantasy. The only one l still haven't read is Jirel of Joiry, though it's been on my TBR forever.
Solomon Kane is my favourite among Howard's creations, such a complex character. I like Livecraft, even if l'm not truly a fan. And Tolkien... l thing l've talked about Tolkien enough lately 😆

Brave New World | Aldous Huxley

I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that I only own one book first published in the 1930s... suppose I'll have to fix that. 🤷🏻‍♀️#publishedinthe1930s #uncannyoctober

StephBengtson At least it‘s a very good one! 7y

the-flashley @StephBengtson very true! 7y

Gilgi, One of Us | Irmgard Keun

#UncannyOctober- #Publishedinthe1930s
I really enjoy this German novel first published in 1931 about a modern young woman. It's kind of refreshing when the character is aware that they're making really bad decisions.

Of Mice and Men | John Steinbeck

Some of my favourite books were #publishedinthe1930s - those 'between the wars' years were incredible for creative output!

Nuwanda Cold Comfort Farm is one of my all-time favorites, and that cover is superb! It's actually what caused me to read the book in the first place! 7y
