All the Classics I have rated 5 stars on Goodreads so far 🥰❤️😍 Classics Recommendations +Bloopers

[@Cath38639]

👑 I loved this video - I can't get enough of content about classic literature! I am in the middle of War & Peace right now and it is truly wonderful.

[@Fortheloveofclassics]

Thank you so much 👑 All the best with War and Peace ✌️

[@davidjardine4968]

I recommend 'Wuthering Heights' by Emily Brontё 👑

[@DebMcDonald]

Terrific video, Reesha! 👑💚 I don’t know why more people don’t talk about Hard Times. The women are portrayed well and one male character changes his mind…and it’s short. Trollope is one of my favourites and is easy to read and has realistic family stories. The classics I’m currently obsessed by are Anna Karenina and My Cousin Rachel.

[@Fortheloveofclassics]

Thank you so much 👑 Trollope really does write great family stories. Thanks for sharing your favorites 👍

[@EmersSarah]

I read War and Peace last year and enjoyed it very much. I recently finished The Count of Monte Cristo and really liked it!

[@betinaceciliafeld9854]

Haha, I loved the "spoiler" intermissions. I haven't read The Tenant of Wildfell Hall yet so I appreciate them. Some of my 5 stars readings from the past couple of years are 1984, The Count of Monte Cristo, Ethan Frome and The Awakening. And here's my crown 👑😁

[@Fortheloveofclassics]

Thanks 👑 I realized while I editing I had given some spoilers 😅 Thanks for the recommendations 👍

[@KindleAndCoffeeCups]

Great video! Here are some 5 ⭐ classics I loved and some I re-read all the time: (some aren't mentioned a lot on BookTube so I thought I'd share them here) 👑 Far From the Madding Crowd by Hardy 👑 East Lynne by Ellen Wood 👑 Olive by Dinah Mulock Craik 👑 Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell 👑 Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë 👑 The Death of Ivan Ilych by Leo Tolstoy

[@Fortheloveofclassics]

Thank you so much 👑 I haven’t read a couple of these so adding them to my list.

[@cassandraclavesaint]

Persuasion my favorite Jane Austen, Anne Elliot my favorite heroine 😊.

[@Fortheloveofclassics]

She really is something 👍

[@bugsby4663]

I would recommend Terese Raquin by Emile Zola

[@Fortheloveofclassics]

Thank you 👍

[@CharlieBrookReads]

I still need to read The Tenant Of Wildfell Hall. I loved Agnes Gray!! David Copperfield is such a great book. You mentioned LOADS of great books. I will definitely check take note of the others. 👑 I read If Beale Street Could Talk last year and that was for sure a 5 ⭐️ read ❤️👑

[@Fortheloveofclassics]

Hello Charlie! I’ve yet to read Baldwin, thank you for sharing 👑👑

[@mame-musing]

👑 Great video. “Tenant of Wildfell Hall” is also my favorite Bronte story. “The Way We Live Now” is such an interesting book. It has so many intriguing subplots intertwined throughout.Trollope is probably my favorite Victorian author. Your comments about “The Plague” and “Hard Times” are interesting. Maybe I will eventually reread them. I read each one decades ago and don’t remember the plots. From “The Plague” I only remember the word “buboes” 😳. Two five star books set in New York which I recommend are “The House of Mirth” by Edith Wharton. It’s the story of Lily Bart, a young socialite who stays too long at the party. In her novel “A Tree Grows In Brooklyn”, Betty Smith tells the story of the struggles and joys of a poor working class family in the very early 20th C.

[@maryw9808]

👑👑 I love your videos. Thanks for this one!!

[@Fortheloveofclassics]

Your welcome 👑❤️

[@denisadellinger4543]

Great video! Classics are classic for a reason. I read mostly classics. I read a Camu when I first went to college. I didn't understand one word of it. The Stranger. It was for a required class called Issues and Values. I like books that end on a good note. I get upset if people die but the story is good. Elizabeth Gaskell has several books that have unhappy endings. So does Thomas Hardy. We have a complicated relationship, he and I. I love Jane Austen. She changed my life.

[@Fortheloveofclassics]

Thank you 😊 Happy endings, aren’t we all looking for them?

[@carolynmonahan2488]

Since you enjoyed Animal Farm, I think you would also enjoy Glory the new hit. It is a bit harder read and I had to consult the internet about Zimbabwe while reading it. That said, it was so worth it. Well written and it casts a light on the struggles good people in Africa face with corruption. How a land with so many natural resources has benefited so few of the countrymen.

[@Kimberton149]

I really laughed when you spoke about the weather - welcome to the UK!! Some of my 5* that aren't mentioned here are Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf, Great Expectations by Dickens, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and my all time favourite Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte 👑

[@Fortheloveofclassics]

Thank you for sharing your favorites 👑👍

[@janepetrie1654]

👑 The Plague is on my TBR for April.

[@Fortheloveofclassics]

Awesome 👑 Thanks for watching

[@pamelatarajcak5634]

The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson, a creepy look inside the human psyche. And perhaps the most beautiful first paragraph ever written (outside of Works of Religious Scripture).

[@Fortheloveofclassics]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Faye_L]

I give way too many classics 5 stars to list them all here, but most recently it was a few from H.G. Wells and The Secret Agent by Joseph Conrad. 👑

[@Fortheloveofclassics]

I have become a become stringent in giving 5 stars over the years 👑 Thanks for watching

[@theresas709]

Frankenstein and The Woman in White are two of my five star classics.👑

[@Fortheloveofclassics]

I really liked Frankenstein too!

[@zachreads]

I have added Hard Times and The Plague to my TBR I also want to read The Stranger by Camus 👑 Anne is my favorite Bronte sister too! If you liked ToWfH I recommend The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton. My my book clubs pick for January / February was North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell I gave it 4.5 Stars. We will be reading Mansfield Park this month. And we have Anna Karenina up next. My two five stars for this year are All Quiet on the Western Front and The Diary of Anne Frank (which also helps recontextualizing the pandemic) it was a 4.5 but I also really enjoyed Payment Deferred by c.s. Forester and Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad 👑

[@zachreads]

Oh and Lord of the Flies is one of my favorite books! And if you like Animal Farm I recommend Adress Unknown by Catherine Kressman Taylor it is also very short and very important.

[@Fortheloveofclassics]

Thank you so much for all the recommendations. I’m adding them to my TBR. Your book club is on fire 🔥 Happy reading 📖

[@lifeinbooksbymaria]

👑 👸 absolutely loved it! Totally agree with your point about reading a book at the right time in your life. It really does make a difference!

[@Fortheloveofclassics]

Thank you 👑

Yay! Thank you!

[@huckleberry3868]

Thanks for such a clever review . You have talked about books that I love and it's great to share your opinions.

[@Fortheloveofclassics]

Thank you 😊

[@BookZealots]

👑LOL I've done what your husband has done with the highlighter. If it's all I have available, I will write with the highlighter pen. Or if I want to really point something out, I will use a highlighter. The children in Agnes Grey were psychopaths! It was the trifecta too, because of the son, father and the uncle. And they encouraged the boy to hurt the birds. I was concerned for Agnes. How as she going to escape that crazy family. I just finished Cranford the other day and though I liked what the women did for Miss Mattie, there were a few occultist things and inappropriate behaviour of men that disturbed me. Not something I thought would be in a victorian novel. 🤔 Fun video Reesha!

[@Fortheloveofclassics]

Thank you so much for watching 👑👑

[@KatzePiano]

I've stopped giving star ratings these days, but classics you didn't mention that I would give five stars are Emma (by Jane Austen), Great Expectations (by Charles Dickens), Bleak House (also Dickens), and My Cousin Rachel (by Daphne du Maurier)

[@cybertitan4200]

Well I suggest Don Quixote, maybe its ur type!

[@Fortheloveofclassics]

[@davidmccalip5759]

Hi Reesha! I hope all is well with you and your family. I really enjoyed your video, it was really great. I also enjoyed the bloopers too. Some books I would give 5 stars are Jane Eyre, The Count of Monte Cristo, Robinson Crusoe; Two Years Before the Mast by Richard Dana and Alone At Sea by Joshua Slocum. I look forward to your next video as they bring happiness. Have a great day! 👑👑

[@Fortheloveofclassics]

Hello! Thank you so much 👑 Thanks for the recommendations 👍

[@Sarana.]

I’m not sure if you’ve read it but Anna Karenina! It has the same way of writing about people and families like in War & Peace but without the war and all the philosophical stuff haha 😂 👑

[@Fortheloveofclassics]

I read it when I was in high school! I definitely need to reread and I was reading from the Wordsworth edition which I hear isn’t the best translation of Anna Karenina.

[@LanaCelebic]

A nice video for classic lovers!👑

[@Fortheloveofclassics]

Thank you 👑

[@cassandraclavesaint]

Three on my 5 stars list are the picture of Dorian Gray, wuthering heights, les misérables (it takes some times and some patience with all the ramblings but worth it)

[@flashgordon1262]

What about conan in the original Robert E Howard?

[@sarahbotteldoorn3125]

Hi Reesha ! 👑 I would add to your list : Rebecca Anna Karenina All men are mortal Frankenstein The Scarlet letter. Maybe you've already read some of them. Much love from France ❤ PS: If you ever wish to visit the South of France, feel free to contact me :)

[@Fortheloveofclassics]

Hello 👑 Thank you for sharing your 5 star reads. I would love to visit the south of France. Thanks!

[@FreyaVal]

So, you also covered your books with plastic covers!

[@Fortheloveofclassics]

I do.

[@FreyaVal]

@@Fortheloveofclassics haha I thought I was crazy

[@apocalypsereading7117]

i love books about kids being cruel! thanks for adding Agnes Gray to my TBR. my fav cruel kids classic might by The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With the Sea by Yukio Mishima =]

[@Fortheloveofclassics]

Oooh! I don’t know what to feel when I read them; on one side children are portrayed as this angelic beings and you see stuff sometimes which is the opposite and it’s usually brushed off as they are kids. But I guess, adults around influence kids and their actions too except of course Tom Riddle as a kid. Thanks for the recommendation 👍

Why didn't you mention ''little women'' or ''jane eyre'' or ''wuthering heights''. They are amazing classics. Do you not like them?

[@Fortheloveofclassics]

I didn’t mention them cause I haven’t rated them 5 stars. I do like them but wouldn’t say I love them.
