Women's Classic Literature Enthusiasts discussion

It's time for August's nominations. There is no theme for this month, and nominations are limited to two per person.

You are not required to nominate only novels, but can nominate non-fiction, poetry, plays and short stories.

Your nominations cannot have been read by the group in the past three years. You can check our bookshelf here: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...

You can nominate up to two works that are written by a woman and published before 1976. Please state whether or not you can lead the discussion.

Nominations will end on June 15th.

I nominate The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare and A Chelsea Concerto byFrances Faviell

I nominate
The Fawn by Magda Szabó.

And a novel in verse
Aurora Leigh by Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

I am using app so, I could not link the books.

The Fawn by Magda Szabó and Aurora Leigh by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

The Awakening by Kate Chopin

The Needle's Eye by Margaret Drabble

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë

I can lead if necessary but it might be better if it is led by a true fan of the book. :) I want to see what I have missed in the past.

Love Anne Bronte - more than Charlotte and lots more than Emily.

☯Emily wrote: "Love Anne Bronte - more than Charlotte and lots more than Emily."

The only Brontë book I got through was Jane Eyre. But lots of my friends love Anne so I am more than willing to give her another try.

This is an exceptionally good month of nominations! Will be hard for people to make a choice I think.

Please vote by June 25th.

The choices are:
1. The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare
2. A Chelsea Concerto by Frances Faviell
3. The Fawn by Magda Szabo
4. Aurora Leigh by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
5. The Awakening by Kate Chopin
6. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte
7. The Needle's Eye by Margaret Drabble

My vote goes to The Tenant of Wildfell Hall

The Awakening for me.


I read The Tenant of Wildfell Hall last fall, so I probably wouldn't re-read it but might participate in the discussion to some degree.

The Awakening

The Awakening

I vote for The Awakening.

August's book is The Awakening by Kate Chopin.

Yey! I have been meaning to try Kate Chopin for some time, putting it down for my tbr for August and fingers crossed I'll actually read it :-)

I read this many decades ago. I do not remember anything other than I read it..

I do have a copy of this one & will try it with this group. I just couldn't get into it in my younger years.
