The Blue Castle

Title: The Blue Castle

Author: L. M. Montgomery

Publisher: Sourcebooks Fire

Genre: Classic, Historical Fiction, Romance, Young Adult

Source: Own

My Review:

The only books I have read by L.M. Montgomery are the Anne of Green Gables series. I enjoyed them as a child and have always wondered if I would enjoy them as an adult. I have had The Blue Castle on my shelf for a few years.

The Scarlet Pimpernel

Title: The Scarlet Pimpernel (audiobook)

Author: Baroness Orczy

Narrator: Michael Ward

Publisher: Puffin Books

Genre: Classic, Historical Fiction

Source: Own & Hoopla

My Review:

The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy is not something I would have picked to read. I read it because it was the classic for my book club this month. The only problem is that I don't typically enjoy classics, and I don't typically read from this period. So, my enjoyment was doomed from the beginning.

Northanger Abbey

Title: Northanger Abbey

Author: Jane Austen

Publisher: Wordsworth

Genre: Classics, Fiction, Romance

Source: Owned

My review:

Well, I enjoyed Northanger Abbey more than Sense and Sensibility. I think if I am really going to enjoy classics I need to listen to them on audio. That way I won't notice the long parts with no dialogue as much.
