It's Monday, What Are You Reading? 12/22/14

I haven't posted for a week or two, but since my last post I completed the Conrete Blonde by Michael Connelly, and my semi-review is here. Today I will be reading a variety of books, just depending on what book I am in the mood for, The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton, The Red and Black by Stendhal, or Demons by Dostoyevsky. I have only started reading The Age of Innocence and around 30 pages or so, it is slow going and just meh right now. So what are you reading today?

Victorian Bingo Challenge 2015

I found this Victorian Bingo Reading Challenge, I have always loved bingo and the Victorian era, so I could resist. You must read a minimum of four books, and you can play horizontally, vertically, diagonally, etc. There is another bingo version as well, and to see the rules of both click here.


In looking at this I decided to read five books and due them diagonally from Q-N. Here is my list:

1840's

Barry Lyndon by William Thackeray (1844)


1850's

North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell (1855)



1860's

The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoyevsky



1870's

Middlemarch by George Eliot (1874)



1880's

Washington Square by Henry James (1880)



So will you be joining me as well?
