Top Ten Tuesday: 10 Books I Love That Were Written Before I Was Born

2. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald (Originally Published 1925)
3. The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood (Originally Published 1985)

7. The Girl Who Invented Romance by Caroline B. Cooney (Originally Published 1988)
8. The Glass House People by Kathryn Reiss (Originally Published April 1, 1992... barely made the cut! My birthday is August 4th, 1992 😅)

It was hard finding more published before 1992 that I've read than I thought it was going to be so I had to do more classics than I wanted lol
DeletePride and Prejudice is one I'd like to reread! :D Happy reading! :D My TTT https://readwithstefani.com/books-written-before-i-was-born-the-classics-edition/
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since I read Pride and Prejudice too. I've reread Northanger Abbey more.. about 5 times
DeleteI loved The Handmaid's Tale, too.

It's really good in audiobook! I haven't listened to The Testaments yet though, it's on my TBR
DeleteI've not read any of these though they were all published before I was born as well.

Both of them are good! I hope you get the chance to read them soon! (Just don't watch the movie adaptation of The Mist... ugh that ending...)
DeleteAhhhh, Caroline B. Cooney representation! There was a prompt last year about your most-read authors, and she ended up being among my top 10. I have not read (or even heard of!) that one, though. The Glass House People looks interesting too. Where did you come across these two?
ReplyDeleteI first came across them at the library years ago then later tracked down copies of my own.
