Happy Tuesday! Today’s theme for Top Ten Tuesday is books to read if you loved certain classics, and I had fun thinking of which classics and more modern reads to use. I also had trouble narrowing it down (to no one’s surprise) but I very diligently stuck to 10 this go-around… so, you know, I’ll need to do a follow-up post at some point too 🙂

thanks, Debra!
GREAT list!
thanks, Beckie!

I’ve been listening to audiobooks of the Narnia series. I definitely need to check out Unblemished!

Wow! This is a brilliant post! I need to take a look at the Sara Ella books. I’ve actually never heard of them before. Also interested in On the cliffs of Foxglove manor. And Hidden Among the Stars.
Happy TTT!

Great list, Carrie, as always. Here is my TTT post: https://cindysbookcorner.blogspot.com/2021/11/top-ten-tuesday-new-authors.html
Great list! I’m definitely going to be checking several of these out. I’m especially interested in THE ORCHARD HOUSE since I love LITTLE WOMEN.
Happy TTT!

I’ve read four of these amazing novels!
Ooh love this! I’ve read a few of these. But need ti add the others (like Orchard House) to my list!
I’ve read 5 of these and would love to read several more.
Darn you! Darn you! You just padded my TBR list by so many books (between six and eight–still looking). LOL
So many great books on this list!!
The Orchard House by Heidi Chiavaroli was perfect for me. Louisa May Alcott was my favorite author when I was a child.
I’d probably start with “On the Cliffs Of Foxglove Manor”–I love stories of gothic dread!
I am not a classics reader, but I have to say that you have my attention. I’ve read 12 Days at Bleakly Manor and an listening to it again this year, On the Cliffs of Foxglove Manor, The Orchard House and I loved them all. Maybe I have potential as a classics reader after all?
