For this weekโs Book Blogger Hop, Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer has prompted us to:
Name one classic novel you have always wanted to read.

My gosh… Alice in Wonderland has literally been sitting on my “soon to read” TBR stack for YEARS.
Heather– I promise that I will get to this one this spring for our buddy read (FINALLY). I’m determined! ๐
Thanks for reading!
What classic have you been meaning to get around to?
I’ve never read Alice in Wonderland, either! I keep seeing these gorgeous versions of the Oz books at B&N, it makes me want to read those! The Picture of Dorian Gray is one I do want to try at some point.
๐ Oh yes! That’s another on my list!!
I don’t read the classics so I don’t have any on my list…other than maybe a few old dinosaur adventures!
๐
Nice pick, and fun for a buddy read!
If you are interested in more information, I recommend “The Annotated Alice” by Martin Gardner. It explains many of the mathematical and logical puzzles in the books, as well as the original Victorian poems that were parodied, and much more.
Ooh! That sounds fun!!
ALICEEEEE! I am so excited to read it with you!! I just hope you like it ๐ haha.
๐
That’s one of my favorites! You’ll love it!
I can’t wait!!
I really hope you enjoy Alice ๐ It’s a nice, quick read for a classic.

Thank you! ๐ I can’t wait!
Oh that is one classic I have read! Ironically, it all started when I was in 4th grade and our teacher had it in our classroom library. The reason I picked it up was that it was hardcover that wasn’t textbook heavy! I felt new to hardcovers then and I loved the colored illustrated cover and read it a few times. A year later, I asked to borrow it from him and he told me he had to find it. A day or two later it was on my desk in my new classroom and he told me I could keep it! And I’ve never updated my copy either…maybe one day…but I’d still keep this one! Lol.
Thanks for visiting my Book Blogger Hop!
Oh! What an awesome story!! <3 Thanks so much for sharing!
I actually do not like Alice. I have no heart for literature, that needs to be explained to be fully understood))
Oh no! Hm, we’ll see how it goes for me.
You need it! And Through the Looking Glass! ๐
๐
I have read both Alice books, but that’s back when I was a kid. I should take another look as an adult.
I hope you enjoy them the second time around! ๐
Rebecca is one I’ve been wanting to read, especially since I’ve seen a few retellings based off of it that sound really good.
I hope you enjoy it when you get the chance to pick it up! ๐
I don’t think I’ve consumed more incarnations of a work before reading the original than Alice in Wonderland. It ended up being a lot weirder than I thought it would be which is really saying something. I hope you end up enjoying it.
Thank you! ๐
I read part of Through the Looking Glass as part of my British literature class in college. It was the part with the “Jabberwocky” poem. At the time, I wasn’t a big fan of it, but I think I was a little prejudiced because I hadn’t liked the animated Disney movie as a kid. When it was assigned, I pretty much went into it expecting to hate it.
Recently, I’ve been watching the second season of Star Trek: Discovery, which has a lot of references to Alice, and it’s given me the unexpected desire to actually read the whole book. I feel like I’d have a lot different reaction to it now than I did in college.
Oooh! I hope you enjoy the book if you pick it up!
Alice in Wonderland is a classic I have actually read, but it really didn’t blow me away. I’ve had Moby Dick on my bookshelf for years, and one of these days I might get around to reading it. Although, I won’t hold my breath on that one! LOL
๐
I need to read Northanger Abbey because it is the last Jane Austen I need to read! And I hope you can read Alice soon. It isn’t too long as well ๐
Oooh! I need to read though some more of her work someday!
LOL hope you enjoy it when you finally get there ๐
Thank you! ๐
