Classics Club Spin 13, Kidnapped Book Review

I completed the book Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson for the Classics Club. This book told the tale of David Balfour and the many adventures he goes on at the sea and in Scotland after the Rebellion. It is a very small book and it seems like we are just kind of getting to know David when the story ends. In some places this book doesn't have a whole lot of dialogue but more of the adventures and their surroundings, so in mentioning any of the characters I feel that I would give some of the story away. At the end I did feel that I wanted to know what else happened to everyone and in fact Stevenson did write a sequel, which now I can't wait to read. I rank this book a 4 out of 5.

TBR Checkpoint 1

So far my reading challenges haven't been going to well, as for the first ten days of the year I was sick. I have started reading Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson for this month. I am not that far into it but it is a short book. The question for this month's checkpoint is, Which book on my list has been on my shelf the longest? It would be the Once A Grand Duchess: Xenia, Sister of Nicholas II by John van der Kiste. I hope everyone is reading some good books this month!
