November Reading Wrap Up

What it reminded me of actually was A Gentleman in Moscow by Amore Towers which we read for the historical fiction book club earlier this year last year. and I really didn't get on with A Gentleman in Moscow.

It was interesting to read though because it is very historically interesting and also I kept thinking about the character of Odia slope in B the towers by Anthony Trrollop who's Francis Trrollop's son and Odias slope is a fantastic character and I feel like Obadia slope was Anthony Trrollop reading his mother's book the vicar of rectail and being like I don't believe that man but I could write a version of him that would be real and would be believable and is human and I think that's what Overdai slope is.

I just I love Bleeak House so much. I think it's so powerful and so clever and there's so many interesting characters and plot threads.

I was expecting it to sort of rival in my mind far from the Madden Crowd, Jude the Obscure, and The Woodlanders, which are my three favorite Hardies, and I'm not sure it does.

I love Charlotte Bronte, especially Janeire, which is an all-time favorite and I've read very many times.

I was expecting it to sort of rival in my mind far from the Madden Crowd, Jude the Obscure, and The Woodlanders, which are my three favorite Hardies, and I'm not sure it does.

Mrs. McGinty's Dead was fine is how I would describe it. It was a fine Agatha Christie. Enjoyable.

There are some bits of Shirley that I absolutely love. I think there are some truly incredible scenes, some really interesting moments. But it is quite long and there are so many bits of it that I just kind of don't think you need.

I think the narrative is fascinating and the story is great and really powerful and really moving and there's some fantastic bits. and I think it's a really clever, interesting novel, but it just didn't quite hit me as hard as I was expecting.

I was expecting it to sort of rival in my mind far from the Madden Crowd, Jude the Obscure, and The Woodlanders, which are my three favorite Hardies, and I'm not sure it does.

I would say that I really enjoyed the writing and I found a lot of really interesting elements in this book and I would definitely read more by Alicia Shafac, but I feel like it wasn't precisely my kind of historical fiction.

I didn't like this book, but I found it historically fascinating. It is a vehement angry book in which Francis Trrollup paints all lowurch ministers as evil hypocrites.

I am really enjoying it, but my physical edition is huge and so I just never end up like prioritizing it. but I have been quite enjoying reading a sort of chapter or two a day.

And I do think as I think in Vallet as well, I think Charlotte Bronte writes incredibly about depression and loneliness and sort of like a complete despair for the future. That's something that Caroline in Shirley and Lucy Snow in Vallet both experience and I think Charlotte Bronte captures it fantastically.
