Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Oldest

True confessions: I could have put more Agatha Christie's and more Jane Austen's but I am not entirely sure I want to read them all, and I did not want to showcase the same two authors.
Have you read any of these?? What should I move to the top of my TBR pile? What topic did you go with this week? I would love for you to share in the comments. To see what other topics our bookish friends are doing this week click on the image below.
Yes to Kristin Hannah.

Regine, I have read other books by her, just not this one.
DeleteRegarding your comment about adding more Agatha Christie and Jane Austen—I know the feeling! I could have added all of Shakespeare's plays that I haven't read yet, but I didn't want to feature mostly one author (well, playwright) either.
ReplyDeleteNicole, exactly! It's hard.
DeleteI reread A Christmas Carol every December!

Lydia, very cool!
DeleteI miss my home library of books that I gave away to clear space for another office/bedroom. I am thankful, though, I can always find them at libraries or online somehow.
ReplyDeleteHarvee, very true! I would miss my books as well.
DeleteA Christmas Carol is on my list too! I haven't read any of the other books either, but I hope to read Mansfield Park sometime in the future. I hope you'll love these books when you read them :)

Thanks Marwah!
DeleteA Christmas Carol is such an amazing read. It's the only Dickens book I've read. As for the two Agatha Christie books you have here, I highly recommend them both! LOL! What can I say, I enjoy her writing.

Pam, I have found I really enjoy most of her books, but not all.
DeleteI say to go for A Christmas Carol (it's very short. Easy read) and A Murder At the Vicarage, which I enjoyed very much. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa!
DeleteI think I had The Marriage Wish at one time. But since I wasn't reading it, I decided to donate it. I do love Dee's mystery books though! Thanks for visiting my list this week.
ReplyDeleteRissi, that is where I am at. I need to read it or give it away.
DeleteNext year The Classics Club is going to have an Austen-a-thon. Just saying...
ReplyDeleteDeb, I haven't read many of Jane Austen's books, but I also haven't loved what I read...
DeleteThere are several of these books that have been on my TBR list for a while too. I really need to read more Agatha Christie.
ReplyDeleteAshley, we need to read the ones we have or move them on, LOL!
DeleteA CHRISTMAS CAROL is the best! It's the only book I've ever read by Dickens in its entirely - LOL - but I do reread or listen to it every December because I love it so much. It's a short, easy read/listen, but it's very powerful and it always gets me in the Christmas spirit. I hope you love it and all these others!
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
Thanks Susan! I haven't read it because I am intimidated by it. Not that I think it will take long to read, just that it might be hard to understand.
DeleteI have been doing the Read Christie for two years now and I'm loving it. The Murder at the Vicarage was this year I think. I didn't like her books much when I started but now I'm hooked! Happy reading :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Shellie!
