Oh my goodness, I just loved Middlemarch! I think I read through it in three weeks! Dead Souls is one that I still have to get through. And it’s great to see a Sayers on your list! Happy spin, Carol! I hope you get the book you want!
I’m not quite sure which one I’m hoping.
Oooo, I devoured Wildfell Hall when I read it last year! I hope you get a page turner!
Good to hear!
Ohhhh The Blue Castle how utterly delightful, even if you don’t spin this one you should prioritise to read it NOW!
I actually changed my 50 a bit to include this one. It sounded wonderful.
You’ll love Tenant of Wildfell Hall, it’s a great novel. Importance of Being Earnest is very witty and funny. Have a nice spin-reading!
The Importance of Being Earnest would fit in with the Back to the Classics challenge too.
Oh, I really love the variety of your list! The 13 Clocks was delightful. And I simply love The Blue Castle. But you have so many other good choices, too. Good luck!
Yeah, I didn’t really have much of a theme for this set.
