East of Eden, Heidi and On the road. East of Eden is such a lovely story, I am very sure that you will enjoy it.

Very good choices- I will be surprised if I don’t find East of Eden a five star. Thank you so much for taking time to input! ❤️

Great idea! Night, Wives and Daughters and The Portrait of a Lady would be my picks 📚

What a great idea! I love this! A lot of these are on my TBR but two I recommend are Heidi and Night. I could only read Night in short bursts because it was so difficult, but it's so worth it.
@EntertheBook 6 ай бұрын
I am 90% sure I read Night in school (I know I at least read a similar book) but it’s time either way to pick it up again! Thanks for your votes 😊
@BandysBooks 6 ай бұрын
The Little Prince! ❤ Night by Elie Wiesel is really good, but so sad. The audiobook of it is fantastic too.
@EntertheBook 6 ай бұрын
I find many of the classics free or 99 cents on audio so I can listen as I drive. I am almost positive I have read both of these before but not as an adult so will be like new.
@MsReadsAlot 6 ай бұрын
The little prince is a lovely short story. Alias Grace is decent 😊 definitely pick up night! So good. We can do a buddy read of Ulysses but it would have to be next year. East of Eden is my favorite Steinbeck!
@EntertheBook 6 ай бұрын
Sounds great and who knows when I will get to Ulysses- but I do want to give it a go. Particularly looking forward to East of Eden as I really enjoy Steinbeck.

Heidi is absolute treasure for the soul. I remember readingvit with my daughter and am saving it for future grandchildren. I already know I want to read it again. ❤❤❤ I've read Robinson Crusoe several times. Such a great read. I read The Color Purple years ago, but I don't remember enjoying it. Pretty brutal. As an aside: You might want to check on some of those title and author pronunciations 😉. But I enjoyed your list.

Ohhhh lovely collection! I'll vote for East of Eden (awesome), Armadale (I read it last Victober), and Alias Grace (I'm not generally a Margaret Atwood fan, but I'm Canadian, and that's one of hers that I like).
@EntertheBook 6 ай бұрын
Great picks and so excited to hear your endorsements! Getting excited to read more classics - thank you for the time and thoughts ❤️
@BernasBookishAdventures 6 ай бұрын
My vote is the Color Purple, Alias Grace and Night. I did not read Night but I heard great things about that one. I very much enjoyed the first two.
@EntertheBook 6 ай бұрын
Sounds great! I think those three are so important to life and literature ❤️
@paolabuffa7043 6 ай бұрын
Hi! Heidi and Robinson Crusoe are great! I've just started East of Eden, so far it's been awesome.🎉
@EntertheBook 6 ай бұрын
Oh such good picks - it makes me soooo excited to hear what other people are excited about- thank you!
@mariasmiles68 6 ай бұрын
I checked out this same copy of Circle of Quiet years ago and found it interesting and still think about parts of it. Heidi would be a good winter book. I also have East of Eden on my shelves, and if you pick it, I would probably be inspired to finally pick it up myself. There is a musical version of The Color Purple coming out soon, but the original was really good. I've heard fantastic things about A Raisin in the Sun, another one adapted into a movie. Oops, that's 5. There are so many good choices! The Little Prince!❤
@EntertheBook 6 ай бұрын
Those are all great suggestions though- and I didn’t actually know about the color purple musical- that sounds brilliant! Thanks for the heads up and I feel confident east of Eden goes in the mug! Yay!
@AmeliaHuckleberry 6 ай бұрын
My three votes :) --- East of Eden, A Raisin in the Sun, and Ovid's Metamorphosis.
@EntertheBook 6 ай бұрын
Thanks! Your votes mean a lot to me ❤️
@AmeliaHuckleberry 6 ай бұрын
Ooops-- I need to change one of my votes. I was thinking of the wrong book when I saw Metamorphoses! I take that one back and put the Orwell one in its place. Sorry for the mistake :)
@LauraR00 6 ай бұрын
I have read a couple of these, but of those, my favorite is probably Heidi. I recently purchased a copy of Their Eyes were Watching God but have never read it.
@EntertheBook 6 ай бұрын
I did read Heidi as a child but sure it will be totally worthy now! I actually love both copies of their eyes were watching God- I think that one will be going in my mug 😊
@RoadReads 6 ай бұрын
I vote for Ovid's Metamorphoses (because so much literature draws from it) , Their Eyes Were Watching God (which I really need to re-read!), and East of Eden (which I also want to re-read).
@EntertheBook 6 ай бұрын
Very solid picks and I actually read several classics for the sole reason so many later works referenced or inspired by them- it’s a great rabbit trail to go down! I know you do this too. Something I admire in you. Have a great weekend ❤️
@jaimeehingerton2397 6 ай бұрын
I 💜 The Color Purple and Their Eyes Were Watching God. Robinson Crusoe would be good since it’s referenced by a lot of other classics. I’m going to try to get to Portrait of a Lady this year. A lot of great ones on your list!
@EntertheBook 6 ай бұрын
Very solid mentions and recommendations Jaimee! ❤️
@tinaparmer6545 6 ай бұрын
I really liked Margaret Atwood’s Alias Grace. I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them but that’s my pick🤗
@EntertheBook 6 ай бұрын
Good pick- thank you my friend- stay warm this week!
@WellTraveledBooks 6 ай бұрын
I loved East of Eden! I have Steppenwolf on my TBR for this year, if you end up reading it we can buddy read =)
@EntertheBook 6 ай бұрын
Ok I mean Steppenwolf is relatively short so even if it’s an add in book for a buddy read that works 😊 definitely know east of Eden goes into the mug - thank you!
@noteworthyfiction 6 ай бұрын
How about Armadale by Wilkie Collins! I have that on my TBR for February and I love Wilkie Collins writing.
@EntertheBook 6 ай бұрын
Great pick! I do hope it goes in the mug- thanks!
@ellethinks 6 ай бұрын
I haven't read A Raisin in the Sun but it's on my TBR so I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts! I also plan on reading Their Eyes Were Watching God this year. If you had any interest in doing that as a buddy read let me know!
@EntertheBook 6 ай бұрын
Yes let’s do that! I can pull that one for the month you choose and have 10 others in my mug 😊 just let me know which month you want this year. I am feeling Feb and March are pretty full but any other month I am free!
