A reading list that sends half the comments off to order more vintage novels is doing exactly what a reading list should. My to-read pile sends its regards.

These past few months, I read Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier and I was absolutely blown away by her prose. Definitely a new favorite. I also read & enjoyed The Sundial by Shirley Jackson, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, The Metamorphosis by Kafka.. I felt they all encapsulated Autumn in their own unsettling ways. 🎃

I fear I will have a void after finishing all the Brontë works this year… this makes me want to read Gaskell next

I only read 3 books on october. I started reading Caitlan street by magda szabo and it put me in a reading slump. I've read 4 of her books and i loved her works. Hopefully i will read more in November

Unfortunately, I felt the same way about Possession. I ended up DNFing it a while back 😔

I was in Bath during the Jane Austen festival in September, so I’ve decided it’s high time I read Northanger Abbey! I bought it a few days ago 🥰

I read The secret history, the haunting of hill house, and 2 Agatha Christie novels. I didn’t enjoy haunting of hill house though, so I’m happy it wasn’t long.

unrelated but did you hear there might be a long power outage across the country?? maybe buy a lifestraw, mylar blankets, and a non electric charcoal grill. i hope it ends up not being that bad but you’re one of my favorite creators and we need to stay safe just in case!!!💜💜
