Ranking Wilkie Collins Books  

My favorite Wilkie Collins is The Woman in White. My 2nd favorite is The Moonstone.

I love your rankings, Kate!! I loved The Woman in White, but now I have new ones to add to my TBR! Thank you! 🤩🌟💕

I do love the vintage Collins editions covers. I have not read any Wilkie Collins books, but this makes me want to look in to some. Man and Wife sounds very impactful.

Another fun Victober video🧡 you introduced me to Gaskell and now Wilkie Collins! I am a little over half way through Man and Wife and loving it so so much! Thank you thank you thank you☺️

I'm reading The Woman in White right now. Love it.

Just got Man and Wife for Kindle. I love Wilkie Collins! I read The Moonstone for school as a teen and reread about ten years ago. I recently read The Woman in White and now want to read more. Thank you for a great video.

This was really helpful Kate as after reading his two most well known novels, I’d been wondering where to go next with Collins. I had a quick look at Jennifer and Katie’s rankings as two other lovers of Wilkie Collins and of the books you’ve read the same it’s really interesting how on some books you all agree (No Name) and others you all have such varying opinions, however, Man and Wife is at the top of yours and Jennifer’s list and I’m pretty sure Katie is enjoying it right now so I think that’s the one I’ll go for next!

I've tried to read The Moonstone and thought it was incredibly boring. Maybe I need to watch the adaptation first. I can't wait to read The Law and the Lady as well as Man and Wife. If they are as suspenseful as The Woman in White I know I will love them. And I agree - Marian Halcombe is one of the best of all Victorian characters!

I really like Collins so I will ask for Man and Wife for Christmas. 😀

I have Man and Wife as well as A woman in White. Sooo excited! Thanks for the video 🧡🍂

I just finished Poor Miss Finch and I also came away just feeling like it was weird! and the entire book could have been solved by having an actual conversation, lol. The Dead Secret is one I really should revisit. great video, Kate!

What a lovely video. Thank you 😊 I would love to hear your thoughts on the Count of Monte-Christo you have read it. Not a Victorian novel, but it has quite a revenge plot in a way.

Haha oh poooooor Miss Finch. Honestly, while I enjoyed it when I read it, I cannot remember anything about it! I don't know if that says more about the book or myself.

Can't wait for our discussion of the first half of Man and Wife on Sat! I'm having a "so so" time with it... some parts I love and some are "why is this in here?"😅 I feel like I'm riding a wave with this book.

Don't be afraid to re read "The Woman in White". I have read it three times and though you know what is going to happen.....I don't know....the way it's written.....I was still on edge and turning pages late into the night. Also, the characters are so amazing.....like Count Fosco!!....that you just get so into it. I think it is good to leave a few years in between reads though.

Can confirm The Woman in White holds up on reread. 😂 Yes Man and Wife!!! 🎉

finished the woman in white YESTERDAY and it blew my mind. so glad the algorithmic gods brought me here

Collins is a Victorian author I have rather neglected. I only read a couple and many years ago. I should have another go though.

I think you should give Armadale another try haha 😂

Man and Wife forever!!!
