Yes, I’m really hoping I love Kristin!
Jim the Boy was a nice surprise for me. Also all the George Eliot has been great. I just have to be in the right mindset to wait her out.

I’m totally putting Jim the Boy on my TBR because of you!
It really is hard to keep up with new releases when there are already so many good books that have been released. 😅 I have also been doing a lot of rereading this year, and the book that made me cry the most was my reread of The Wingfeather Saga. Something about good writing in the stories you love makes those moments special on the reread.

Yes, my backlist keeps me from so many new releases! As does rereads 🤣 The Wingfeather Saga is soooo good!

Haha I don’t think I have crushes on any kpop guys. I just love their music. If that’s a crush, then I have way more crushes on authors 😂😂😂

I thought of my crush(es)....Mr. Darcy and Capt Wentworth. {{{Swoon}}}
It makes me so happy every time someone mentions the Memoirs of Lady Trent. It's my favourite series of all times, I'm currently finishing Within the Sanctuary of Wings for I think my 4 or 5th time and I love every second of it. My favourite volume is the 4th one, it's perfection and it might dethrone that best proposal book you mentioned, I'm just saying :-P

I’m happy to hear you loved book 4 so much! I’m hoping I enjoy that one too! It’s such a cozy series!
Sounds like a good reading year so far! I read Tenant of Wildfell Hall last year for Victober and loved it.

I’m so looking forward to reading it! I’m actually saving it for November. I always find myself a little slumpy in that month, because I miss my Victorian reads, so I’m giving myself something to look forward to 😜
I loved Tenant of Wildfell Hall! I’m still needing to start Vicar of Wakefield. It was supposed to be a June read, but I haven’t started it yet. 😅

It’s super short, so you might still have time to squeeze it in. I hope you enjoy it whenever you get to it!

Thanks for watching, Nichole 🤗
I adore Dandelion Wine! 🥰😍♥️I’m due for a reread. I still haven’t fallen in love with George Eliot. Maybe I should try Daniel Deronda sooner than later. Love hearing your answers, Tiffany!

You have to give her (GE) time to wax poetic😅. She has big pacing issues but once she grabs me with her beautiful writing, I'm hooked. That takes me abt 50% through the book/story.😅

Yay for Dandelion Wine! As much as I love George Eliot, I can see why she wouldn’t resonate with everyone. Dickens has such a reputation for being wordy, but she tops him by a mile … I just happen to really like her words haha.
I'm hoping to get to The Tenant of Wildfell Hall later this year too. Sounds like you've had a really good reading year so far!
