I've heard good things about Jane Eyre so that might be my next classic on the TBR list. Thank you so much for taking the time to write out those recommendations, Erica. :D <br /><br />And booo for busy months.

I'd recommend it, but to be honest if you're not into classics Tolstoy is probably not a good starting point. He's like the Victor Hugo of Russia (albeit with a slightly lower number of endless historical digressions, haha). I've always liked classics. You might like The Phantom of the Opera; it's not *that* much of a classic, but it's very engaging and has awesome characters and more humor and feels than you might expect. A few other classic or classic-ish books that aren't 6654443323 pages long or composed entirely of societal commentary I'd recommend are the Sherlock Holmes stories, Fahrenheit 451, Frankenstein, Crime and Punishment, Animal Farm, Jane Eyre, Watership Down, and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. I'm sure there are others. Yikes I'm rambling. <br />This is the coolest tag! I'll have to add some of these to my depressingly long TBR list.

I think I set my reading challenge at around 40 books? I'm 3 behind schedule already. I have zero reading motivation, even though I have a stack of great reads from the library. ugh. <br /><br />Here's to a better reading month for the both of us!<br />welcome to hellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07219265620491689459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445138433367622139.post-649716444829609982018-02-25T23:29:56.103-06:002018-02-25T23:29:56.103-06:00Your "how I came about writing this post"...Your "how I came about writing this post" summary MAKES ME GIGGLE :P And I love all your choices!! Especially Steelheart--EVERY LINE. EVERY ONE IS JUST. AH. SO GOOD. Also I am with you on the cheap books. I don't buy them unless they're under ten dollars. HOWEVER. There is a beautiful used bookstore that I frequently visit and I love to buy books there cause they're on average 2-3 dollars. I make lots of impulse buys in there cause while it's hard to find something you're specifically looking for, it's not uncommon to stumble upon gold. (I found one of my favorite books there, completely on impulse!) And I think my "comfy sweater" book is either Pride and Prejudice or Magyk by Angie Sage. They're both just warm, cozy stories :)Hannah Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730224134513484877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445138433367622139.post-80646396221988033842018-02-25T22:39:48.791-06:002018-02-25T22:39:48.791-06:00Reading this post makes me feel all warm!!
