Pageturning Classics for the Easily Distracted | Classic Books Recommendations [CC]

[@gaildoughty6799]

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is one of my favorite detective stories ever.

[@maiiamiii]

Great recommendations! The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is one of my favorite classics.

[@katebowers8107]

Perfect list! So seldom have I read every book on someone else’s list of anything!

[@AbiofPellinor]

I’ve read two of these, the rest are going on my tbr!

[@ashappyasiget140]

I would add The Woman in White and Dracula to your already amazing list ☃️

[@MothGirl007]

Yes! Real page turners that you can't put down.

[@sarahmcdonough7713]

love love love the tenant of wildfell hall. one of the most exciting classics (especially of the pre-20th century ones) that ive read. it was the first thing to come to mind when you described the video topic so im glad you covered it!

[@SpinstersLibrary]

It's a spectacular book and deserves all the attention

[@alvarosager9206]

Really great video! I've only read two: Rebecca, which I LOVED, and The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, which I thought was only okay, because I do not enjoy the literary maneuver the twist relies on. Not saying more because of spoilers, obviously.

[@patricialux6197]

Me too, read almost all of these page turners -except last one-- Such excellent books. And ive gotten off the shelf, The Hound with a Secret 😂, wanting to reread, its been long time. Loved Lady Audley and especially Tenant, and all the rest, super books. I cannot say epist---- either. I enjoy your videos so much. 👍

[@niles9542]

Lady Audley's Secret was the first to come to mind when you started talking. I just read it in October and had a blast. I would recommend it as a place to start for people interested in getting into Victorian literature.

[@SpinstersLibrary]

It's a really fun and accessible one for readers new to 19th century literarure.

[@barbaraboethling596]

Fantastic video. I've read all of the recommendations except I Am Legend. I will definitely read it soon! I'm currently 2/3 into Wyndham's book The Midwich Cuckoos and loving it. He's a super story teller.

[@SpinstersLibrary]

I'm currently reading that too actually!

[@ytb40]

So good, and such great reconmendations. At first I "only" wanted to write this first sentence and add how good yor presentation and moderation is. But then, to the end of the video, your hair started to slide and flow to the front. Snd now I have to add how beautiful your hair is. Such a long, glorious mane! Please keep on making such great recensations, and please keep your pride in your long hair, it is so beautiful!

Mary Elizabeth Braddon is an absulute gem. All her novels are great and I love that there is not always a cliché happy ending. Sometimes bad things happen to good people.

[@SpinstersLibrary]

I really enjoyed her storytelling in Lady Audley's Secret, will definitely check out more of her work.

[@micaelagonzalez71]

I had forgotten I wanted to read Wyndham! Back on my list. I love I am Legend. I read it and then I read The Road and the graphic novel Sweet Tooth. I was on a post apocalyptic mood XD.

[@SpinstersLibrary]

Haha, I get those moods too where I read one apocalypse book after another.

[@jellybebe2753]

Thanks for the Wyndham recommendation! I just borrowed it from my library

[@SpinstersLibrary]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@KatieFlaxbeard]

Fabulous suggestions ❤ Especially dazzled by the Tenant of Wildfell Hall and Sherlock Holmes suggestions. Claudia have you enjoyed any of the Enola Holmes novels? I will check out more on this list for myself. I’ve never read anything from the 50’s and I know you have some well loved novels from this timeframe. I still need to check out a few from your other videos like I own the castle (I may remember that wrong) lol I need my notebook and to rewatch some of your videos which is only extra indulgence for me!

[@SpinstersLibrary]

I've watched the Netflix adaptations of Enola Holmes but haven't read the books, though I feel like I'd quite enjoy them! Ah yes the 50s produced many favourites of mine, in particular some good dystopia, which makes sense in context.

[@olgaufimtseva5066]

Great suggestions! Is Love in the cold climate classic? I would add that as well. Edit : oh, found your video about Nancy Mitford 😅

[@SpinstersLibrary]

I really enjoyed The Pursuit of Love, I'm most certainly going to check out her other work as well in the future. (Also I personally definite a classic as any book written pre 1960)
