Classics and Beyond — I like finding blogs with passion for the classics. Emily has a great blogs whose posts write as if she were talking to you.
Fanda Classiclit — I discovered Fanda’s blog late last year after epically failing at her Gone with the Wind read-along. She has a focus on the classics and has hosted other events such as Celebrating Dickens to commemorate them. In short, I love reading her thoughts on the genre.
Reading Against the Clock — Caro’s blog focuses on the classics. She has started a project to read all the Bronte Sister’s novels and simply adore reading her posts on it.
The Daily Prophecy — I’ve recently gotten into reading fairy tales or fairy tales retold and Mel’s blog is a great new spot for that genre
