Top Ten Tuesday Hosted by The Broke and Bookish
- Faithful Place by Tana French: I started this earlier in the year and for whatever reason set it down, I’d like to pick it back up by year’s end.
- Broken Harbor by Tana French: to continue my love of the Dublin Murder Squad series
- Wives and Daughters by Elizabeth Gaskell: I loved Cranford and The Moorland Cottage and hope to follow with the above soon.
- The Beautiful and the Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald: I think this has been on my bookshelf for over a year now and after reading The Great Gatsby I want to read it even more.
- Molokai by Alan Brennert: This just feels like a summer read and I have actually been to the island so even though the book is a work of ficton I think it would be an interesting read.
- Mansfield Park by Jane Austen: I shamefully have not read this Austen book.
- Lady Susan by Jane Austen: The same reason as above.
- Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh: Love the Jeremy Irons’ mini-series but haven’t yet read the book.
- Villette by Charlotte Bronte: I loved Jane Eyre but haven’t yet explored her other works.
- The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte: The only Bronte sister who’s works I haven’t read.
What a great list! I really want to read 1,2,4,5, and 9. Loved 3, 7, and 10 … and really liked 6 and 8.
Molokai is on my TBR list too – but because I wrote my MA thesis on Leprosy and feel like I ought to read this one! Excellent list – some really great books on there that are now on my TBR list too…. It's always getting longer!
There are a few of these that I also want to read. I would like to expand my Bronte reading, and also to continue with Tana French. The only one I've read is Broken Harbor, which was dark and fun to read.
great books. Lady Susan by Jane Austen was an interesting read 🙂
I love the Dublin Murder Squad books too! If you're interested, a copuple of us are planning on reading MAnsfield Park this summer, maybe June.
I adore Anne Bronte. She is woefully underrated. Her two novels are quite different, yet the same. I love them both, but Tenant is one of my all-time favourites. I hope you enjoy it.
