Jenny Catherine,
I kept finding all my recommendations in your bookshelves, but i think you may like the author Sherrilyn Kenyon She has some hot romance notes and some good fantasy.

Lee Jenny,
I saw that you really liked Warcross by Marie Lu and I'd like to recommend Legend by her. I really enjoyed this series!!


message 153: by Jenny (new)

Jenny Thanks, Erin. I know of that one, but haven't read up on it. I will now give it a shot (Warcross was awesome you are so right there)

I see that you are trying to read more classics and you have Wuthering Heights on your "To Read" list. I would love it if you to give it a try and tell what you think about ..."


I just finished reading Wuthering Heights, I'm glad I read it, thank you for the recommendation. I rated it 3 stars, I didn't hate it but I didn't love it. What do you think of it?

I was reading Shakespeare for the Party Like its 1564 challenge, and it ended not long ago. I didn't see this message till today, when I read more Shakespeare, I will read those 2 next. For the challenge, I read Romeo and Juliet, The Tempest, The Taming of the Shrew and Twelfth Night. Twelfth Night was my fave of those, and The Tempest, I liked the least.

As for the 2 classic books, I didn't have them on my TBR list before, they are on there now. I don't know when I will read them, but thank you very much for the recommendations.

Oh, I thought maybe you just happened to be reading Shakespeare. I haven't read Twelfth Night but now maybe I will.

As for the two classics, I'd recommend reading the Trollope novel when you have plenty of time to digest a longer nineteenth-century novel. But I found the writing great - especially the part about a character who "had the instincts of a horse, not approaching the higher sympathies of a dog."

Perfect recommendation Brittany! Enjoyed it very much; thank you!
