Dear Jen,
This was such a lovely video! Even though I am studying for my literature degree and have to read so many classics each semester, I absolutely love to read them for fun as well. Some of my favourites that I have read like that are Jane Eyre (so happy you loved that one🥰), Anne of Green Gables and Pride and Prejudice. I would also highly reccomend Little Women, as a story about growing up and women's experiences.
There are so many classical stories that are accessible and easy to read without having to analyse them, and you showed that charm perfectly. I adore your videos, cosy atmosphere and pieceful storytelling present with each novel you talk about. Thank you for that. Sending lots of love and great books your way!!🧡🧡🌻
It sounds like we have lots of the same favourites! I really want to read Little Women this year too - I think I will love it but have just never gotten around to it ☺️. Thank you so much for your lovely comment and for watching my videos. 💛
P.s. I wrote one of my uni Victorian history essays on North and South and I can attest to the fact that as much fun it is to enjoy the novel, there's a lot of fun things to draw out and study in this story!
Wow that sounds so interesting! I rarely annotate a book, but I did when I read North and South, because there was so much to unpack on so many themes. I can imagine studying the book was really fascinating!
The Blue Castle by L.M. Montgomery (author of Anne of Green Gables) is a fun, charming story. It's one of her lesser known works, but I think it has become my new favorite from her!
I’m currently reading The Blue Castle!! I love it so much - it may even top Anne of Green Gables for me too 🙊
Jen, such a lovely list or selection of books you've got there, they're all such favourite classics of mine too...!
Agatha Christie's mysteries and Sherlock Holmes are such fun cosy ones (and the different adaptions are fantastic too! Have you seen the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes by the way? It's so good and Cumberbatch apparently drew inspiration from his portrayal of Holmes).
But goodness, North and South, Rebecca, Jane Eyre, Anne of Green Gables and The Secret Garden are all such beautiful, engaging and brilliant novels!!! I love that you acknowledged how a good adaptation can help us enjoy a classic. I'm very much of the same mind, and with most of these the adaptations and books complement each other a lot :)
I love that we share so many favourite classics 💛 I don’t think I have watched that adaptation of Sherlock Holmes, so I’ll have to look for it! I’m glad you agree about adaptations too - I am a huge fan of BBC adaptations especially 😍
Jane eyre is my favourite classic too , it’s so well written , i’m excited to read charlotte’s other novels ❤
Such a lovely video❤ I have picked “North and South” for my June classic. And you are gonna make ne read “Rebeka” finally 🙏
Yay, two of my favourite books 📖 I hope you enjoy them!
I have loved all of these. I need to read North and South, but all the others are some of my favourites ❤
Thomas Hardy is becoming a firm favourite author of mine, I think his work is just beautiful
North and South is so good 😍
Great list! Out of all of these (if I'm not too mistaken) I've only read Sherlock Holmes, which I feel holds up a lot better than you'd think. However, reading them from the editions I have make them a bit long at times.. I have really small editions, really need to look into getting new ones cause I actually love the stories.
The Secret Garden is one I've loved since I was a kid. One of the few I read early on and still love.
Pride & Prejudice is also one I can easily revisit, probably cause I grew up with the Colin Firth adaption and it just kinda plays in my head while I read the book.
What is it about tiny books that makes them feel so much longer to read? I feel the same way and I’m always like 🤯 this does not make sense 😂.
And I completely agree, having a good movie/tv show playing through your head whilst reading a classic really amplifies the reading experience. And Jane Austen’s novels have some stunning adaptations 🌸
@@readerinareverie honestly!! In some case I think it's the bible thin pages, you read and read and don't feel as if you've gotten anywhere in the physical book even tho the story is progressing.
I have definitely not seen enough of the classics adaptations, but I might even be so bold to say that Jane Austen have some of the best ones 💜
North and South, and Jane Eyre are one of my favourite classics 💜 just leaving this comment makes me wanna reread them haha
They are both such beautiful books 😍
OMG Where did you get your version of Jane Eyre! It's so beautiful! xox
I found it in a charity shop 😍
@readerinareverie I didnt find the Beginning of Jane Eyre to be slow and Jane Eyre isn't a long novel.
💗💗

Have you read "The Woman In White" by Wilkie Collins?
Its so rivetting!
No I haven’t, but it’s definitely on the list for some day!
