Bookwormjillk I‘m still intrigued by

Tess of the D Urbervilles

12mo

Bookwormjillk Or you know, whatever you all want. I can survive anything as long as it‘s limited to a chapter a day 🤣 12mo

mcctrish @TheBookHippie are we reading Lady Chatterly‘s lover with #sundaybuddyread ? 12mo

mcctrish I‘m not sure what all you‘ve read so far so I will just watch the suggestions roll in 12mo

TheBookHippie @mcctrish yes !!!! AUGUST! 12mo

ravenlee No more Bronte! 12mo

BarkingMadRead @ravenlee I feel that in my soul! 12mo

Librarybelle I‘m up for whatever! 12mo

IndoorDame @Bookwormjillk me too ! 12mo

IndoorDame @ravenlee definitely need a break from those ladies 🤣 12mo

IndoorDame @TheBookHippie ooh, I hadn‘t realized. Fun! I haven‘t read that in 20 yrs (edited) 12mo

TheBookHippie @IndoorDame came up in a book last year and we decided to read it. I read it 37 years ago 👀😅 12mo

IndoorDame @TheBookHippie I‘m super impressed you remember the exact number! 12mo

Morr_Books Since I am new to this, have y'all read any Elizabeth Gaskell? 12mo

BarkingMadRead @Morr_Books the #pemberlittens read one last year at some point, I think? North and South, I believe! 12mo

Morr_Books @BarkingMadRead So sorry to have missed that one! 12mo

BarkingMadRead @Morr_Books there‘s always Cranford 🤷🏻‍♀️ 12mo

TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead I loved Excellent women more books by that author is okay!

Excellent Women

12mo

BarkingMadRead @TheBookHippie we read that one last year as well! I should keep a list! 12mo

TheBookHippie @IndoorDame 🤣 math . I took detention for reading it senior year. Only whores read DH Lawrence 👀 12mo

TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead I read it with you but are there more by her we can read? 12mo

BarkingMadRead @TheBookHippie

Academic Question

BarkingMadRead

A Glass of Blessings: A Novel

12mo

TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead oooo they look good! But I‘ll read anything 🤣 #hashtags 12mo

eeclayton @Bookwormjillk I'd be interested in Tess too, but I'm also open to whatever #hashtagbrigadeforever 12mo

TheAromaofBooks I looked up a few lists of suggestions for what to read after Austen! 😂 A Glass of Blessings was on the list, along with The Pursuit of Love by Nancy Mitford, The Gentleman's Daughter by Amanda Vickery, and Jane Austen's Letters edited by Deirdre Le Faye. And this list has 50 suggestions! https://www.silverpetticoatreview.com/50-books-love-jane-austen/ It's a rather dangerous list for my TBR, I must admit! 12mo

IndoorDame The Pym ones look great and I haven‘t read her yet, so I‘m leaning towards that, but I did really enjoy North and South so Cranford would get a yes from me too 12mo

TheAromaofBooks This one sounds particularly intriguing - originally published in 1914, it seems like it must be one of the earliest forms of fanfiction!

Old Friends and New Fancies: An Imaginary Sequel to the Novels of Jane Austen

12mo

AllDebooks If you fancy a change from Victorian ladies, I suggest E.M. Forster. He's often compared to Austen and he was a complete Janeite https://thejaneaustenproject.com/2010/07/28/illicit-reading/ 12mo

Morr_Books I second E.M. Forster - like A Room with a View or A Passage to India. 12mo

BarkingMadRead So many great suggestions! I have 5 on our list so far! 12mo

Morr_Books @TheAromaofBooks I never heard of this one, but it is on my TBR now. 😀 12mo

DebinHawaii @TheAromaofBooks I think we mentioned reading Old Friends and New Fancies a while back & it still intrigues me. It would get my vote. 12mo

Ruthiella @ravenlee @IndoorDame No more Brontë? ? I think I‘ve reached saturation point too. @BarkingMadRead I vote for Hardy because I‘ve never read anything from him and feel like I should. Or Vanity Fair by Thackary. 12mo

TheAromaofBooks @Morr_Books @DebinHawaii - It definitely went on my TBR!! 12mo

willaful I could go for Gaskell or Forster. Never read Cranford or A Passage to India. (Or did I read Cranford? Hmm...) 12mo

Bklover I missed Agnes (been painting my house) so I shouldn‘t vote this time, but I do love a good #hashtagbrigade chunkster! 12mo

StayCurious So many awesome suggestions! Thanks to everyone for being involved! 12mo

Aimeesue I‘m a #Pymphomaniac, so . . 12mo

ravenlee I‘ve read both Tess and Vanity Fair in the past year, so I‘d be out for either of those (or Cranford for the same reason). I will say VF might be a tough one so close behind Middlemarch, as it‘s another long one with long stretches of nothing happening. I personally liked Tess more, though it was hard because of the subject matter. 12mo
