The Books I've Bought So Far... 2024 Book Haul 

Wow that is some book haul, I am so excited for you to be reading these books for the first time🙃. If you like gothic The Yellow Wallpaper and Dorian Grey are first class. Have you read Frankenstein? I count it as one of my favourites, though haven't read it for decades and can't even remember which version I read. I am excited to do a re read of them this year and see my thoughts on the differences and if it's still a favourite. i dropped by after seeing Katie mention you, think I need to get her book also 🤗

I LOVED David Copperfield. I've only read a few other Dickens, but if that's his meh, bring it on! Great selection of books. Good luck with the Lyric Poems (I don't like the poetry of that time period either). I'd recommend Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Anne Radcliffe's The Romance of the Forest. I like both the previous books better than Dorian Gray (current read) as far as gothics go. Dorian Gray is dark, but not gothic enough for me. He's lost the romantic period vibe. Happy reading!

I picked up a hard back copy in a charity shop recently of The wispering Muse by Laura Purcell. I've not read her books before. Sound interesting though. Some fab purchases you have made ❤

Meryl Streep played in the French Leftenants Woman I think it was a double one where we seen them out of cast but could be mixing it up with another of her films but you should like it. I'm jealous about Tgimas Pain lol. I managed to get a good hawl of academic books from charity shops last week

You should read "The Warden" before you read "Barchester Towers".
