I tried to read Emma a while ago, actually, but I only got about 60 pages in. I think I just wasn't in the mood for it at the time. And I definitely need to read Jane Eyre soon, too!Clarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08014163537005483710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959057724654014625.post-54587412853818078612016-10-10T08:09:09.583-07:002016-10-10T08:09:09.583-07:00I loved A Study in Scarlet!

And I definitely get that about all of the retellings - it seems like Sherlock Holmes is such a huge character lately, but I've barely heard anything about the originals! I haven't listened to many classics on audiobook, but the two I have (The Secret Garden and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer) were really good!Clarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08014163537005483710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959057724654014625.post-78031869567974001602016-10-10T08:06:37.929-07:002016-10-10T08:06:37.929-07:00I'll have to check out the Emily of New Moon s...I'll have to check out the Emily of New Moon series! And I definitely want to check out some Agatha Christie - I just couldn't decide which one I wanted to try first! I'll look at And Then There Were None. And I haven't heard much about North and South, but I know I should look it up!Clarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08014163537005483710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959057724654014625.post-20854711494015784862016-10-10T05:54:45.566-07:002016-10-10T05:54:45.566-07:00I eventually want to read Emma, since I've nev...I eventually want to read Emma, since I've never read anything by Jane Austen, and Jane Eyre, because a friend recently recommended it to me :D<br />~LilahLilahhttp://lilahsbookshelf.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959057724654014625.post-19036469195132752372016-10-09T03:02:40.948-07:002016-10-09T03:02:40.948-07:00I do want to read more Sherlock!!

Mostly because I was guilty because I've read so many retellings and seen so many shows/movies but not read the originals? #shame 😂 I've only read a Study in Scarlet though, sooo...I definitely will work on that. One day...hehh. I'm not a huge fan of classics but if they're on audio I do a bit better with them! (Except for the Jane Eyre audio. I was getting so traumatised I turned that off.😂)CG @ Paper Furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954615708675952085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959057724654014625.post-80168298410954004742016-10-08T14:47:03.927-07:002016-10-08T14:47:03.927-07:00I LOVE the Anne series.

I read the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, which I thought was interesting but I haven't read the others yet. I'd recommend Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None if you're interested in a classic mystery! I definitely want to read more of Jane Austen's book - I have Emma sitting on my shelf but haven't gotten around to it. I also want to read Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South, thanks to the BBC adaptation!Cillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08909017383144456321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959057724654014625.post-63473664460616311712016-10-08T06:33:23.028-07:002016-10-08T06:33:23.028-07:00I can't believe I haven't read Jane Eyre, ...I can't believe I haven't read Jane Eyre, either! And my two Jane Austen books aren't much better than your one, so you can absolutely talk. I haven't read A Christmas Carol yet! I should have included it here. My mom has a "sarcastically annotated" version that I really want to read, but I can't decide whether I should read the original first or not.Clarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08014163537005483710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959057724654014625.post-41474854522173015642016-10-07T12:09:41.875-07:002016-10-07T12:09:41.875-07:00I can't believe you haven't read Jane Eyre...I can't believe you haven't read Jane Eyre. Though I've only read one Jane Austen novel so I can't really talk. Have you read A Christmas Carol? It's another good Dickens book.
