Readalongs with Ange discussion

Here you can suggest books for future readalongs :)

Any Mary Stewart or Agatha Christie.Susanna Kearsley is also really good.

Master and Margarita? I put it down and never pick it again.

Crime and Punishment or anything Sherlock Holmes

If we want to stick to classics how about Don Quixote by Miguel de Saavedra?
I'd also read just about any classic novel we pick to be honest. I need to reread so many from high school.

Maybe Sherlock Holmes or the lesser read Bronte novels, in particular Annes'

Maybe a book by Wilkie Collins, like for example " The Moonstone".

How about any of Elizabeth Gaskell's Novels? I've been wanting to pick one up but I don't know where to start.

Anna Karenina! :)
Or perhaps Great Expectations?

I'd love to do one for Wives and Daughters

Thanks everyone for your suggestions! I will add them all to a list. Maybe I will do a poll for each month and see what the majority would like to read :)

I would love an Elizabeth Gaskell or lesser read Brontë sisters' novels, they've been on my list for ages!

Thomas Hardy might be fun ?

How about one of Ken Follett's trilogies?

Anything Dickens would be good! Though that could be the knee high snow talking (Dickens + Snow = perfect mix!)

But generally speaking any classics would be quite fun (Anne or Charlotte Brontë, Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Eliot, Gaskell and Tolstoy are the ones that spring to mind mainly because they're the ones I can see right now!)

Also, John Steinbeck maybe? One of those authors I have been meaning to get to forever! And I'm always up for anything du Maurier!

Dickens would be nice.

Ange, just an idea. Why don't you put up 3 titles in the next couple of weeks and we can vote on the one to read for April. Then everyone will have some time to get the next book. Just a thought.

That is a great idea. I will do just that. Thanks :)

I suggest Room by Emma Donoghue :)

Hi! I suggest
- Life and fate by Vasili Grossman
- The Forsyte saga by John Galsworthy
- Wives and daughters by Elizabeth Gaskell
- Our mutual friend by Charles Dickens
Thanks!

Hello Friends,
I've just finished reading 'Twenty Love Poems and A Songs of Despair' by Pablo Neruda and I loved that book!
I've recorded an audiobook without noise filters in natural circumstances so as to be felt as forthcoming from a broken heart. Just for retrospection.
Here's the Google Drive Link
Feedbacks are most welcome!

Good Day,
Yash

I agree!!!

I really like the way Ange is doing it now. Not that I mind people giving suggestions but in the end it is Ange's group and we are just reading along with her if we choose to.

Totally agree with Theresa.

Agree 100%

Thank you :) I'm glad to hear that you are happy with the way I'm doing things.

-Wives and Daughters by Elizabeth Gaskell
-Middlemarch by George Elliot
-Agatha Christie- I'd highly recommend And Then There Were None which is, in my opinion, one of the best books ever written.
-Miss Silver Mysteries by Patricia Wentworth

Hi,
I've just joined your group. It sounds like fun. Here are some titles that I've wanted to read:
The Tenant Of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë
The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins
Dombey & Son by Charles Dickens
Anything by Mary Stewart or Barbara Pym

Hi Beth,
thanks for joining us. We will be reading the Tenant of Wildfell Hall next month :)

Great! I am looking forward to it.

The Mill On The Floss - Eliot
Cold Comfort Farm - Gibbons
Metamorphoses - Ovid
Crime and Punishment - Dostoevsky
The Trial - Kafka

Crime & Punishment readalong would be great!

A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth

Mikaela & Marina, I agree with the Crime & Punishment suggestion.

Oh my gosh! I'm planning a C & P series on my channel at the end of next month. I'll go through the book chapter by chapter & briefly compare the translation differences between Constance Garnet & Pevear and Volokhonsky. This would be cool to have it as a read-a-long w/ Ange. ^.^

The Trial & Metamorphosis are both great books! There's a tonne of dark scenes in both (Metamorphosis more so.)

Not a suggestion but I was wondering: Since Ange is one of the Victober's hosts I'm guessing there will probably be no readalong in October. If that's a case, will there be a poll up for the November read?

Haven’t heard anything. I known she’s a Victober host. I saw she posted for her Du Maurier group today. Too much to keep up with maybe.

Gone with the Wind!
maybe The Distant Hours
something by Edward Rutherford
Harry Potter (even if we've all read them! they're even better to reread bc you can always find new meaning in them)

Oh I love Gone with the Wind!! I first read it about 4 years ago so it's highly due for a reread now!
