So interesting! I enjoyed The Mysteries of Udolpho very much. I won't be joining in Febregency, but love to hear your views. A love for Italia? For me, yes!! Am continuing to read about Renaissance Florence.
Jennifer! Your going to love the 1818 edition of Frankenstein, feels young and wild! 🥰 Mary Shelley made quite the alterations in the 1831 edition. None the less it pleases me immensely her name appears on the 1831 edition.🤟 The monk is also such a ride! Reading that at the moment.
This is such a cool readathon! I'm currently reading Melmoth by Sara Perry; I'd never heard of Melmoth as a figure before this book! Perry's writing is so atmospheric, and thus far, the book feels incredibly rich, gothic, and haunting.
Thanks for all the recommendations! As a BookTube newbie, and given my track record so far, I'm realistic about how many views and comments my Febregency videos will get, but I might connect with at least a few new people from this. I'd also love to find books by Charlotte Dacre and Grace Aguilar, since the huge rise in worldwide antisemitism has, among many other things, made me more committed to reading more books by my own people. It's been too long since I was focused on Jewish authors. That's interesting about the different editions of Frankenstein. I've put out different editions of some of my own books. Nothing major, just things like removing passages that shouldn't have been in the finished product, adding new lines or paragraphs here and there, and similar little tweaks.
My TBR for Febregency is a bit impossible. I also want to get back to Udolpho before I read Northanger Abbey again Waverly is up there too. Charles Lamb wants a look in.
Thanks for hosting the Febregency challenge. This February I am going to read Emma by Jane Austen and the works of Shelley and Byron. All of them are my favorite authors and I hope I will have a great time participating in the challenge. Best Wishes.
Wonderful recommendations! Never heard of Confessions of a Justified Sinner, but that sounds amazing - I grew up Calvinist so when you said that word, it tickled my ears. I may throw it in my cart. Thank you for sharing.
Ohhh how id love to read Valperga, Zofloya, Byron or Keats (for the first time) for FR but im not in a position to buy 😏 *but* have read Cecilia (Burney) & started TMOUdolpho- im *loving* it. Alot of nature descriptions (18th century notions of 'the sublime')- wasn't sure id like it but i do! South of France.. chateaux.. convent.. road trip... gothic supernatural vibes hello! 🤩😍 TMonk totally appeals to me lol😅.
I'm so excited to give the Last Man a try. Frankenstein is my all time favorite book, but I've never read anything else by Mary Shelley. I already own it too, so that's a nice bonus.
Those are some great recs, my tbr is not happy with this but i am...😂 Im tentatively trying to see if I can work Febregency into my reading plans next month..🤞
oh mary shelley 🥰 i’m utterly obsessed and definitely will be picking up the last man in February! thanks for all the recs, i’m excited to solidify my tbr!
Melmoth is great fun (at least it was in my early twenties) and TPMC of a Justified Sinner (which i read last year) is mind-blowingly strange and wonderful. i've not read any of the other gothic novels here but you're right, being part of the romantic tradition they're usually not so scary, maybe more atmospheric, so i'm very interested in The Monk now!
I'm such a mood reader, it's anybody's guess as to what I'll end up reading for Febregency! 😆 I'm not into poetry, but I have a book of Romantic Poems and have flagged the works of: William Blake, William Wordsworth, Sir Walter Scott, John Keats, Henry David Thoreau and Percy B Shelley. Who knows....maybe I'll have a new obsession! 🤓 As much as I adore Frankenstein, I have never read the 1818 edition, so I might do that and maybe reread an Austen. 🤷🏼♀️
I've read the 1818 version of Frankenstein but didn't love it as much as I hoped. I might read the later version and see if I feel the same.
Ozymandias is one of my very favorite poems!
Wow! So many great options! I’m very intrigued by Mary Shelley’s other work and I personally really love William Blake’s poetry and art.

I love Percy Bysshe Shelley’s poem ‘The Masque of Anarchy’ written following the Peterloo Massacre in Manchester 1819

I am so glad we get to read the last man as February’s book! I have been wanting to read it so bad so now I finally have a reason to order it ❤️

A hot monk! 😂
@@Shellyish "A hot monk! "😂 Im in! lol dont know what that says about me 🤣🤐
it's so good 💯
So happy to be reading some more Mary Shelley. Find her fascinating.
i want to try the last man just because i like dystopian, but realistically i dont think it will be for me. hope you have a great reading month!
I bought The Last Man towards the end of last year and this is a good motivation to pick it up.
