I read this book as a kid and remember it being very different from my favorite film adaptation, but it turned that’s not the case at all.
A Christmas Carol
Category: Classics
The Woman in White
I’m not sure why this book is always classified as horror since there’s nothing paranormal about it. I can see it being classified as a mystery, although I felt it was much longer than it needed to be.
The Little Stranger
I read this book because it’s a classic, but I have to say that, as a ghost story, I felt it was disappointing.
Behind a Mask
If Little Women or Agnes Grey is too sweet for you, I recommend Behind a Mask because it is anything but sweet!
Agnes Grey
I didn’t love this book, but I liked it, and I certainly found it interesting to see how Anne grew as a writer.
Northanger Abbey
I don’t care what you say, I think Henry Tilney is one of the best Austen heroes! He’s sweet, funny, and not afraid to meet Catherine on her level.
Hiddensee
Having thoroughly enjoyed Maguire’s other books, I was really looking forward to his latest work, but found myself utterly apathetic to it.
Circe
Telegonus pretty well summed up this book with, “Gods and fear, gods and fear.”
Mansfield Park
This book review is in defense of Jane Austen’s novel, Mansfield Park, which I have always loved, and continue to love as much as ever.
Carmilla
I had never heard of this novella by J. Sheridan Le Fanu, which apparently predates, and almost undoubtedly inspired Dracula.
