I’ve just read The Age of Innocence, The House of Mirth and Ethan Frome straight off (obsessive or what?) and wanted to see what you thought of them. Well, I know as I’ve seen comments in past Booksnob entries that you love Edit W’s books.
However, these don’t appear in your reviews list. Or is it me being dim?
I hope you’re well and happy (never known you otherwise, Rachel!).
Ha! Not obsessive at all! I have read all three but only reviewed two on here – The Age of Innocence and Ethan Frome. As they’re part of my ‘Reading America’ list, I have linked to them under the ‘Reading America’ tab. You should find them easily there!!
I hope you loved the books!
Thank you Chrissy! I hope you are the same! x
I’m seeing many old friends in your review list. I’m going to have fun reading these reviews. One of my all time favourite comfort reads doesn’t appear here and I’m wondering if you’ve discovered it yet: the Mapp & Lucia series by E.F. Benson. 6 books in all, best read in order, set in England between the wars. Queen Lucia; Lucia in London; Miss Mapp; Mapp & Lucia; Lucia’s Progress; Trouble for Lucia. TV4 made a brilliant series based on the books, with Prunella Scales, Nigel Hawthorn and Geraldine McEwan. But the books are the best.
Tui
Hi Tui! We obviously share the same tastes! I have heard so many wonderful things about the Mapp and Lucia books, but no – I have not yet got around to reading them. But I will, as they sound truly fantastic, and I so enjoyed Mrs Ames by E F Benson, so I know I’ll love other books of his!
I agree the TV4 series is excellent (available on DVD) though not having read the books I can’t compare them.
I love the organization of your new site. Looks lovely and clean. Beautiful.
Could you tell me what your guidelines are when you review? It’s something I am always curious about. Thank you. Deb/TheBookishDame
Thanks Deborah! I don’t really have any guidelines to speak of – I certainly don’t have a ‘rating’ system or anything. I just write my honest thoughts and leave it at that – I rarely accept review copies and I know my tastes well and don’t deviate much outside of them so it’s not often I’ll have anything unsavoury to say about what I’m reading. My main guidelines for myself, if I have any at all, are to be honest, transparent and as analytical as possible – I like to probe beneath the surface and I am not afraid to criticise!
Do you really own all of those lovely penguin classics? Love your blog!
No! I wish! I have a fair few but not that many. Thank you very much!
You must read everything ever written by Helene Hanff.
She is right up your alley.
Here is an obit from NY Times.
http://www.nytimes.com/1997/04/11/arts/helene-hanff-wry-epistler-of-84-charing-dies-at-80.html
I have read some of her books, LC – I must read more! Thank you for the reminder!
I love your blog, and your reviews. I hope you do a review on Elizabeth Gaskell’s North and South, I did a rather amateur job reviewing the mini series on my blog. It has had such an impact on me that I can’t put my thoughts into words without sounding like an infatuated teenager! Its been a while since I read Persuasion and I may join you for hte read along. Happy posting!
Thank you Misha!! Sorry I have only just got around to replying to your comment – it must have slipped through the net. I hope you’re still enjoying reading along!
In Miss Buncle’s Book by (D.E. Stevenson) someone recomends that a girl who has nighmares may try “chemical food” .. Does anyone have an idea of what that might have been? I need to know in order to advice a translator.
Many thanks
What a wonderful blog! Love the reviews, the travels, the pictures. I’ve just come across it – think I followed something about Ann Bridge and found Book Snob
Thanks so much, Suzie! I’m so glad you found me and I hope you’ll continue to enjoy reading along!
I think I will have to read Anne of Green Gables again! Can I recommend Kristin Lavransdatter by Sigrid Undset?
As an avid reader and would be writer I really enjoy your blog and was thrilled to see, on your review list, many books I have loved over the years beautifully reviewed. However I am really surprised that Iris Murdoch doesn’t feature at all,to me she is one of the greatest English writers ever and I would love to know your opinion of her work.
I am half way through “The Luminaries” and am totally hooked,maybe the fact that I am a Kiwi has something to do with it!!

What a lovely collection of reviews! Followed a link from Miss Darcy’s Library and am so pleased I did.
The reviews r so nice and I really liked reading them. It was a great time reading it
I’m interested in submitting a book for review.
