I have really gotten into classics this year! I read P&P years ago and loved it, but this read I’ve read 1984, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, picture of Dorian gray, and just finished Jane eyre. Every one of them have been 5 stars! 💙

I had no idea the great gatsby was so short!! I will be saving this for later because I want to get more into classics but I swear school ruined them for me so I want a re-do 😂 Jane Eyre is definitely one I want to pick up!

So well described and explained! I’ve read several of these and agree wholeheartedly. Going to try a couple of the others and reread a few. 😊

Loved Jane Eyre so much!! 1984 is a book I think about so often. Have you read The Count of Monte Christo? I’m currently reading Frankenstein but I think that might be my next classic!

I've read most of these and 100% agree! I specially love the picture of Dorian Gray

Great recommendations, one of my favorites so far is Rebecca and I also enjoyed Frankenstein a lot. I will try Dorian Gray or Jane Eyre next, both are sitting on my shelves 😊

Thanks for this video! It was super helpful. I've started Pride and Prejudice on audio and it was hard for me but when I started reading it physically it was a lot better. It is quite long though, I'm taking my time with it. I have Brave New World on my shelf, I'll have to give it a try next!

I've never read The Great Gatsby, but I've been meaning to read it. I think I actually got a free version of the book on my Kindle and might read it closer to New Years 👀

Great video Becca. Book recommendation, The Road by Cormack McCarthy. If you like dystopian fiction it’s great.
