Favourite Books of 2025 | Classics

I would say that a London play tree and other verse was slightly my favorite of the two and I would recommend this as a better place to start with Amy Levy partly just because this collection has more short poems in which I think is a easier way into an author's work.

and I really, really enjoyed rereading all of them except maybe Under the Greenwood Tree, which is not Hardy's best in my opinion.

I read these two collections of poetry by Amy Levy back in VTober and they were just incredible. They were just the highlights of my VTober, some of the highlights of my year.

This is a fantastic Anthony novel, one I would really recommend.

I have rarely been so emotionally invested in a character as I was and am in Steven, the main character of this book. This is a buildings romance and an absolute masterpiece of a building's romance
