Oliver Twist and A Mini Classics Book Haul!

[@Maritinylibrary]

Not gonna lie, I would love to hear you and Emma debate the Bronte sisters vs. Jane Austen lol

[@IngramSnake]

Your videos about classics have motivated me to read the count of Monte cristo. It’s a massive book, but really surprised at how easy it reads! I’ve tried to read other books at the same time but they just don’t compare. I am at the moment completely enthralled by it!

[@cola_table2204]

Same here! In a way the count of monte cristo has ruined me cause I just can't seem to enjoy any other books as much 😫

[@hseasyenglish5325]

I love to read this book Thank you ma'am. Your video also motivates me to read further. I am a big fan of you.

[@rakamazumder4450]

I’m on part 7 of Anna Karenina and can’t stop reading it!! Thank you so much for recommending it, I cant wait to hear yours and Emma’s thoughts during the debate!

[@neverbored]

Can't wait for the Pushkin vlog!!!!

[@jasmineelizabeth3342]

I’m so excited to see what you think of Northanger Abbey! It’s one of my all time favorite books 💛

[@lalolanda8458]

Your passion for good literature is inspiring, and looks cute. I like how you always try to draw inspiration from everything around you, and I've been trying to do the same. Keep them coming. Cheers!

I read Eugene Onegin immediately after War and Peace as well 😆. I think W&P kicked off my Russian phase. It's glorious, I agree. Can't wait to hear your thoughts.

[@MaryAmongStories]

SO excited for our buddy read!! 🥰💚 wonderful video as always 🌻

[@ComradeNerd]

I decided to try my hand at Dickens and started reading A Tale of Two Cities today.

[@nadeshkaholmes9511]

Those editions are just so beautiful! You have inspired me to read more classics Carolyn, and I'm so excited to read more of these amazing authors. The Me from a couple years ago wouldn't even think about reading a classic lol but I have changed and I'm actually loving them! Your videos are just PERFECT. So thank you 😊💕

[@ChandnaBear]

I got mine 😊 thank you, looking out for the hand drawing 💌

[@ReadingNymph]

Love the cloth bound editions!

[@subtlefire7256]

The Mysteries of Udolpho always reminds me of that kind of multi-chaptered fanfiction where the author is making up the story as they go along, giving the plot a strangely meandering feeling between excitement and drama and the more tedious parts and repetition. I hope you'll like Jude the Obscure. That book absolutely blew me away. Yes, it's incredibly tragic, but the themes Hardy talks about are remarkable given the time period the novel was written in.

[@MilenaReads]

I love that edition of Northganger Abbey! Hope you and Sarah enjoy it 🥰 it has some hilarious characters.

[@sarahsperusals]

okay i just used command f on a mysteries of udolpho pdf. the results: melancholy: 193 sublime: 34 faint: 162 trifle: 16 and my personal favorite, hurly burly: 3

[@CarolynMarieReads]

Love this!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for providing this stellar information! 📖💕 So glad we finally had our first buddy read! Can’t wait for Northanger Abbey! 💖

[@just_ella17]

[@sarahsperusals]

@@CarolynMarieReads we gotta facetime still LOL

[@martasgreatlibrary]

damn i'm dying for the pushkin vlog!!!! i really wanna read eugene onegin!

[@bookswithpetra]

I'm eagerly waiting for you to read Jude the Obscure. It's my favourite Hardy so far! So tragic and upsetting but so good.

[@KB-mg5tc]

Thank you for your comments about the clothbound books.

[@Jane4077]

So excited for all the wonderful videos you have planned, any chance of a little bookshelf tour too?

[@CarolynMarieReads]

Yes! Hopefully soon! 😄

[@just_ella17]

I recently read Northanger Abbey and it is my favorite Austen so far (I'm still missing Mansfield Park) I hope you'll enjoy just as much💕

[@nickschiffers7803]

Love your videos!

[@MartinDSmith]

Nice bookmark indeed! Somehow you avoided the adjective melancholy for a Thomas Hardy novel😁

[@YTLawnGnome]

So, I never read Oliver Twist but, I adore the 1968 musical. There is a commercial that features the song 'I'd Do Anything' on tv a lot now so I have been revisiting the songs.

[@uniomystica4476]

So I have hard time reading anything beside the classic's... any modern recomendation

[@fernnielsen8158]

Carolyn where do you order the Pan McMillian books. They are so beautiful. Thanks.

[@CarolynMarieReads]

I usually order them on Amazon! They’re also stocked in certain independent bookshops as well! (Just depends on the bookshop) ✨

[@ayahramy]

Yesss new video

[@milkawickramasinghe164]

💯💯😘😘😘💕💕💕💕

[@morine5236]

Hello CarolynMariereads, I listened to you and Emmie talking one of your TolstoyVSDickens episodes and noted your extended interest in Dickens writing about women. Five Victorian Marriages by Phillis Rose may interest you. I have not yet read the chapter on Catherine Hogarth & Charles Dickens. Your channel interests me! So laters:)

[@victorrossi2601]

Team Tolstoy :)

[@mynameissiddharth]

Pushkin was shot dead by his wife's lover. Poor bastard! The Onegin Stanza (aBaBccDDeFFeGG), in which the novel in verse was written, was later employed by Vikram Seth in his verse novel The Golden Gate.

[@josephcossey1811]

In Oliver Twist the Artful Dodger's real name is Jack Dawkins. This is no coincidence as the jackdaw(kins) is a bird of the corvid family - along with crows, rooks, magpies etc - notorious for pilfering objects of value when the opportunity arises! Also...how can the reader tell that Fagin is a "bad Jew" on his initial introduction? Because he is cooking sausages which in the 1830's would certainly have been made from pork! Lastly, brace yourself for Jude The Obscure, a masterpiece but possibly the most harrowing novel ever written and one that makes Tess seem a barrel of laughs in comparison.

[@Raindrop2424]

Oh Northanger Abbey. 😊 Maybe I should take this as a kick in the butt to finally finish it. Already read almost 60% like two years ago and really loved it. But because it read it in English which isn’t my first language I had some troubles with the older language in the book. So while I really enjoyed it it was also at times exhausting and I really needed concentration for it. So I put it aside and for no real reason haven’t picked it up since.

[@ayahramy]

Where’s Sarah’s channel

[@CarolynMarieReads]

It’s linked in the description :)

[@ceechiha]

i'm glad you loved "eugene onegin" because pushkin is our religion in russia:)

[@zubaerchaudhari8267]
