[@RahulSingh-books]

+Alan Gowling what?

[@jazzminc.8166]

I literally just finished Rebecca today. I loved it so much!

[@RahulSingh-books]

+Jazzmin C. Yes!! I loved it too!

[@oliviamaloy5581]

My absolute favorite classic is "Till We have Faces" by C S Lewis, though the Narnia chronicles are also amazing. Also Anne of Green Gables is also a FANTASTIC series. So glad you're back Zoe!

[@Dizzy-im7sf]

I recommend the wonderful wizard of oz, little women, a little princess, Peter Pan and the secret garden. They're the best classics I've ever read although I still need to finish the secret garden. 😊

[@chandacaston]

The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde! It's a play so it's a shorter read but it's really good 👌

[@DBos1998]

I'm so glad your back Zoe. You are such a sweet, intelligent and bright person. Please take good care of yourself! x

[@audiobookworm13]

OMG The Princess Bride is EPIC!! I'm so happy you're reading it.

[@saraisreading4231]

I'VE BEEN MEANING TO RE-READ JANE EYRE HECK YEAH

[@rach9166]

goblet of fire!! i started it in january and still on page 200. the struggle! and welcome back! i missed your videos and hope you get better soon!

[@JanayBrazier]

Lovely to see you back! Suggestions for classics for the book club: Wuthering Heights, Cranford, Great Expectations, Sherlock Holmes and Shakespeare 😊

[@Spiritbro77]

It's cool to see so many young people dig Sherlock Holmes! Some of my favorite stories..... I've read everyone many times and still enjoy them. Excellent writing.

[@Ann86dk]

I can't wait to get to 'My Not So Perfect Live'. One of my most anticipated reads of the year. I'll probably listen to the audio. I love listening to her books in audio.

[@kellym3212]

So glad to see you back! I set a reading goal of 70 books this year and so far have read 7 so I'm 5 books behind and feeling very discouraged. My main problem is that I'm starting books and getting stuck after x amount of pages and then I have a crisis about my reading slump :( I read The Hating Game and loved it (I read it in one night...ordering it on kindle at like 10pm wasn't a great idea). I cannot wait to get my hands on My Not So Perfect Life!

[@SasMuffin427]

I think Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier would be great for the book club! It's absolute PEAK English gothic mystery melodrama and I liiiiiiive for it omg

[@daSLIC55]

I'm glad you're back! And hope you're having fun in Rome! :)

[@KirstyWardBooks]

I understand the addiction of My Not So Perfect Life, and it's just so good all the way to the end, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. My must read in March is Night Film. I picked it up several months ago, and then kept picking up other books, and so I never finished it, even though I was really enjoying it. I'm going to give it the time it deserves this month ☺

[@rachelhesketh94]

Oh god same Zoe! I need to finish my re-read of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows but I don't want to be heartbroken again so I'm trying to slow it down but at the same time I want to be done with it so I can concentrate on the 60+ unread books on my tbr pile!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Omg Matilda is such a great book! Good luck with your reading this month! :D

[@meganwingharthamilton7974]

Oh my goodness, I am thrilled to see you are reading Jane Eyre for your book club! I adore that book swill all of my heart. Other classics, I have enjoyed would be Frankenstein by Mary Shelly, 1984 by George Orwell, and The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne.

[@Verally]

YES JANE EYRE this is such good timing because I started reading Jane Eyre a couple of months back but then just kinda stopped reading it at about 100 pages, but I really enjoyed it so I really want to continue reading it! :) (that sentence was way too long hahah)

[@franciscatoledo2378]

THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY!!!!!!!!!!! IS SOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!!!!! (i love it so so so much

[@laneyliberty]

Ahhh I still can't get over how much I adore your hair!!!

[@jaedyn225]

yesss i was hoping that you'd mention a classic that i have. i can't wait to join along!

[@cristinasjourney]

If you love Matilda you should watch the musical! It's great! Or if it's not touring near you, you can always listen to the songs :) I read the Hating Game in February! I didn't love it but I liked it a lot. Ugh that thing of not getting past 100 pages happens to me all the time with HP5. I don't know why 😭😱

[@radiantstar]

cristinasjourney The musical is my favorite! I love it so much!

[@bethanylaurenreads]

I loved Rome, you'll love it too! It would be so fun to see a vlog :) I loved The Princess Bride, it's one of my favorite books from my childhood!!

[@sarahc952]

I was soo excited when you said you were reading My Not So Perfect Life, because I finished that about a week or so ago and LOVED it! But then again I love almost all of Sophie Kinsella's books :)

[@lunalentz1286]

So happy to see you back zoe

[@kristenambriel3293]

You're so cute lol I'm glad you're back! I missed your videos!

[@PeaceLoveBooksxo]

You should read Elizabeth Gaskell! North and South is soooo good and her books remind me a lot of Jane Austen's books! They also have a mini series (I think it's four hours) where Richard Armitage plays Mr. Thornton and it's awesome!

[@PianoLibra]

When I was having my Austen obsession a few years ago I moved on to read Georgette Heyer books, they are super fun, somewhat silly, clean regency romance novels with great loveable characters, they were written in the early 1900s..I just love them!

[@teresafoo]

Currently re-reading A Gathering of Shadows and I want to finish it within the next week or so. I'm not as 100% into the story as I remember the first time around, but I'm pushing through it because A Conjuring of Light

[@halleys.library]

Ahhhhhh yes, so glad to you have you back on booktube! ❤

[@dianat6286]

Hi Zoe, I'm exited you're back! i just wanted to say that the way you talked in this video was very similar the way my english teacher speaks. You have so much in common like you both super peaceful explaining the book and you take a break from seriousness to fun little stories. To conclude, I would totally want you to be my teacher. (She's like 24).

[@anna--emilia]

I have the same edition of the Princess Bride and it really is super heavy, probably because of the page material. but the illustrations are great and make the story even better!

[@lillythai7939]

The hair tie! XD Don't worry, I totally understand. I have a jar of book marks but what do I use? Post it notes, reciepts, napkins, Starbucks cup sleeve thing, my train tickets and (the top of the pile), my health care card.... yup. Have a fun trip!

[@TheYellowcrush]

Sense and Sensibility is my favorite Austen! I highly recommend Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf for your book club. The first time I read it, I went back and immediately re-read it, and now read it once a year. Her writing is incredible and makes you see the world differently. Have fun in Rome!!!

[@ahobbit111]

I have been in a reading slump for two months now and I need to get myself out of it! I started reading the fourth book in the Outlander series called Drums of Autumn and I got about 200 pages in and then I stopped. Then I picked up the Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory and got about 60 percent done and stopped again. Afterwards, I picked up Jane Eyre and began rereading it and got 25 pages in. So, my goal for this month is just to finish Jane Eyre for the bookclub and finish reading The Other Boleyn girl. After that, I want to finish reading Drums of Autumn and then pick 1 literary classic to read per month plus a nice light fun read to get my Goodreads goal back in shape! For classics: Wuthering Heights Frankenstein Dracula Picture of Dorian Gray Turn of the Screw The Call of Cthulhu The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe Till We Have Faces Lord of the Rings Mary Poppins Murder on the Orient Express Sherlock Holmes The Princess Bride Gone with the Wind

[@aromanianbibliophile]

I'm so, so glad you're back! I missed you a lot :) Love your videos, btw.

[@anamiranda6022]

I'm so happy you're back! I've missed your videos so so much :D My number one read(s) are The Dream Thieves and finish The Night Circus

[@KeeleyJo]

I'm studying abroad in London and the first play we went to was Matilda! It was actually a musical and it was wonderful!

[@nish_bish]

read heidi by Johanna spyri .. its a children's book but I'm sure you'll love it!! the writing is Amazing and it just makes me feel happy!

[@valentinacosta2716]

Haven't even watched the video yet but I already gave it a thumbs up. After watching it: I need to finish Jane Eyre for the liveshow! I started reading it on february but because it was taking me so long I decided to take a break and start ACOTAR; now I'm on book two and I still have a hundred pages left of JE. I will finish it.

[@charlene7032]

Welcome back, Zoe! Anyway, I noticed that you like books like WONDER and Matilda, so I'd like to suggest Where The Mountain Meets The Moon by Grace Lin. It's a kids novel as well, but it's great ( in my opinion )!

[@proudbooklion2094]

I hope you had/have the best time in Rome!❤️ Don't pressure yourself into reading too much now but I'm wishing you the best with all of them and I've always wanted to read the Tale of Two Cities but I've never had the motivation and frankly I've been afraid since English isn't my first language and then Frankstein is an amazing classic!❤️ Take care and have a great day!❤️

[@Spiritbro77]

Here are a couple classics you might enjoy.... The Razor's Edge by Somerset Maugham. Tolstoy Anna Karenina. Or one of my favorites, The Hound Of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie is a wonderful book as well. Currently, I'm reading Uprooted by Naomi Novik and I'm enjoying it immensely. Have a wonderful trip to Rome. I'm jealous! Lots of art and historical sites to see there!

[@pazcomelibros6638]

I'm currently reading Caraval and loving it!!! The best wishes from Chile 💖

[@natscorner]

Eating Animals is my number one read :) glad to have you back Zoe

[@chalmersantiago1998]

Glad to see you're back in action Zoe :)

[@millareppen-gjelseth2778]

I LOvE YOUR VIDEOS SO SO MUCH OMG!!!! YOU MAKE ME WANNA BUY LIKE EVERY BOOK YOU TALK ABOUT

[@saranghaebooks6431]

Your hair is so beautiful😫 i need to know your hair routine

[@FashionablyBookish]

Your copy of Sense and Sensibility is gorgeous!

[@helpimdrowinginfeels]

The Picture of Dorian Gray and any of the Sherlock Holmes stories are my favorite classics of all time!

[@iidifferentworlds]

Soooo glad you're back! I'm so excited for My Not So Perfect Life. I accidently picked up a signed 1st edition in the sale and I'm so happy about it haha. What about The Secret Garden for Austentatious? Or Little Women.

[@Ginger_Cat2604]

I think Georgette Heyer is one of the greatest romance writers. She has written quite a lot of amazing romances and mysteries and has created the genre of Regency romance. Her books are character-driven with very interesting characters and relationships. They combine thoughtfulness, insight, imagination and wit, and are a delight to read. My favorite romances are "Cotillion", "The Convenient Marriage", "Black Sheep", "Sprig Muslim", "A Civil Contract", "The Toll-Gate", "The Grand Sophy". She is truly a 20th century classic.

[@Alyk1912]

You should read Gone With the Wind! I'm half way through and I'm in love with it!

[@MMaeM265]

For the book club you should totally read Dracula, the secret garden, maybe some Virginia Woolf books. I would love to watch discussions on those! And also maybe Gone With the Wind it's long but so good!

[@MMaeM265]

Oh also a good mystery that is classic is And Then There Where None by Agatha Christie. It's so spooky and good!

[@bookswithruth]

Glad you're back! I know it's hard to fight anxiety and depression. Classics to read: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Little Women, and have you read Lady Susan by Jane Austen it's a novella from when she was younger but it is FANTASTIC!

[@matildamaristromberg]

A classic must-read is 1984! It's without a doubt one of the best books I've ever read, and I believe it will start some interesting discussions xx

[@jennapowell3888]

Flowers for Algernon and The Catcher in the Rye are my favorite classics

[@GabyGabsBooks16]

I need to read Matilda; I love the movie since I was a kid❤️ Glad you're back!

[@maguilavalle670]

Hey Zoe! There is another Jane Austen book, called "Lady Susan". It's her shortest novel, and it is not as famous as the others she wrote.

[@abigailmckenna634]

A Little Princess and Anne of Green Gables are two of my favorite classics!

[@BasilGab]

What edition is that Princess Bride book? It is gorgeous

[@AlexandraTejero]

I love "The Princess Bride film" and hated the book... Can't wait to see what you think about it! I LOVE all Sophie Kinsella books!!!! =D "My not so perfect life" was awesome!!! Greetings from Barcelona!

[@laurenschultz9139]

Have you seen (or thought about seeing) the Broadway musical Matilda?? It's on tour now, but I got to see it in NYC a couple of years ago and it blew me away 😍😊

[@JBJari]

welcome back!!!!! I love Matilda. The book or the movie!!!

[@Darrkness]

please do a video of your time in Rome if you're able. love to see some of your adventures there.

[@allisontenerife6768]

I recommend reading the firebird series!

[@ohhthatskellie]

Sherlock Holmes would be so much fun to read for the book club. And oh my gosh I hope you have fun in Rome!

[@hopebadger]

Lord of the Flies by William Golding The Great Gatsby by F Scott Fitzgerald The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne Money Dick by Herman Melville 1984 by George Orwell

[@ZakiyaDeliefde]

my two favourite classics are definitely Rebecca and I also love The Great Gatsby!

[@yogabbagabbahotline9193]

Charlie Bone and the Beast, Charlie Bone and the Shadow, Treasure Hunters, and Hatty on Her Way are my must reads!!!🤓📖

[@JaesarDunaGella]

Classic Recommendations: 1984, Brave New World, Catcher in the Rye, and Farenheit 451 (or any Ray Bradbury book really). Those are some of my favorites. :)

[@KelseyReads]

For your classics' book club definitely check out The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins! It's a mystery written in 1850 England. And just goes in places I was not expecting! I haven't finished it yet, but so far am really enjoying it :)

[@busybattybooks7558]

That is so funny. I have been trying to read OOTP for a long time too and chose to wait until my spring break to devour it! lol

[@kuuthecalm]

I'm gonna try and read The Great Gatsby this month :) more classics!

[@awsomeblossom4]

Yass! I use hair ties, necklace, pens...basically anything I can find as a bookmark :P

[@katya9098]

The Jungle book is a brill classic!!!

[@VolleyPuppy91]

My favorite classic is The Count of Monte Cristo :) I would love to see that one in your book club! :D

[@sophiabeaumont1223]

Oh, Jane Eyre! That is one of my all time favorites! I think I might have to join in this time. :) Have fun in Rome!

[@rileyyhopper]

The secret life of bees would be a good spring classic🙃🙃

[@nadezhdakolokolova2249]

I am reading The Princess Bride this month as well!

[@LucieReads]

Have fun in Rome Zoe!

[@danixdanny3059]

I think a great follow-up to Jane Eyre would be Wide Sargasso Sea. It's a very short book, and alludes to Jane Eyre so I think you might enjoy it 😊

[@LaurenCondon]

I'm currently devouring The Hating Game on audiobook, it's so swoony! Also trying to finish Caraval, Six of Crows and To All the Boys I've loved before. I really need to stop reading so many books at the same time

[@Italianamuneca]

Rome, Italy was cool! I spent my 1st sophomore semester (4 months) in college there on campus, I was 18 yrs old. It was fun. Different. I'm half Italian.

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

Sense and Sensibility is so wonderful! I feel like the fictional character I'm most similar to is Marianne - not necessarily a good thing! And Mr Palmer is the character that makes me laugh so much - Hugh Laurie does a great job of playing him in the movie. WOW I'm so jealous of your Princess Bride edition - I adore that book 💕

[@yobebooo]

How funny - I'm actually reading Jane Eyre right now and didn't know it was your book club pick! ☺️

[@StephaniMichelle1]

I love your new hair style x

[@punkrockgirlpa]

lol i'm reading 4 books right now too idk how these things happen but they do XD i went to Italy 2 years ago Rome was by far my absolute favorite ROME IS AMAZING!!!!! LOL Ive been in quite a bit of Europe now but Rome will always be my favorite city. if your looking for some good cheap pizza there is this little tiny window shop DIRECTLY outside of the metro station by the Spanish steps it looks a bit sketchy lol but just trust me they have FRESH BASIL on it and just mmmmm it was some of my favorite pizza from that trip :) one of my favorite things was eating pizza while relaxing on the Spanish steps people watching and watching the sunset behind the buildings at night :) sooo excited for you to be in Rome! :P if you cant tell lol! YOU WILL LOVE IT!

[@claudiahesketh2749]

You should read Wuthering Hights by Emily Bronteé, it's so good! I'm glad you're back!

[@gbnas]

Some classics that I can think of: Great Gatsby, Huckleberry Finn, 1984, Fahrenheit 451, Of Mice and Men, The Odyssey, and .....Wuthering Heights. I've read all of these but the last one, but I had to read all those for school so I didn't enjoy them that much...

[@KarjianaCadet]

This month's must-read is between _A Room of One's Own_ and _ Pride & Prejudice_.

[@agustinaquino3116]

I am so happy youre back 💕💕💕 kisses from Argentina

[@nutshell93]

I recommend I Capture The Castle by Dodie Smith :) It's one of my favourite modern classics!

[@strdxstbooks7930]

Aw man I feel you, I've only finished four books this year haha. But The Girl on the Train and Heartless were both really good!

[@penelopebunce]

wuthering heights! it's like my favourite

[@breanapietrosanti6980]

if you want to keep with the woman writer theme, Middlemarch by George Eliot (a pen name) is lovely. and if you wanna go into modern classics Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut is one of my faves!

[@abbydanielle6210]

I must read Heartless this month!

[@emeranyx]

Rome? Like, Italy? It's nice to know that since I'm Italian but unfortunately I do not live in Rome or anywhere nearby. Hopefully one day you'll come to Verona. It's smaller but it has the Arena (and in summer you can watch some plays like Romeo and Juliet, Aida and much more). I hope you're enjoying your time there. Lots of love from Italy ❤

[@loulou7866]

a tale of two cities !
