So many of these books are on my 'favourites' list that those I haven't read will now immediately be ordered as I implicitly trust Charlotte's taste :)

So glad to hear it! Which have been your favourites? And which of the ones you haven't read will you be reading first?

Rebecca and Pride & Prejudice are ones I’ve loved since I was a teenager and they were almost annual revisits (which reminds me I defo need to read them again!) … Wide Sargasso Sea has been on my to-buy list for a while, so that’s being moved to the top of the list and Three Men in a Boat is one I haven’t heard of but sounds fun.

Always love meeting a fellow fan of Rebecca! Have you also read The Scapegoat? That's one of her lesser known books but it's one of my all-time faves. And Wide Sargasso Sea is excellent. Like you, I'd not heard of Three Men in a Boat but it does sound great fun!

No. I thought I'd read all of her books but that one has escaped me and it's now on my tbr pile :)

I have no idea why it seems to have flown under the radar compared to so many of her other books. It is absolutely incredible. Please let me know what you think of it once you've read it!❣️

What a great selection of classics. I love Wide Saragossa Sea. Still have to read Rebecca! Charlotte's new book has received a great review by the author John Boyne in this weekend's Irish Times. I must check it out.

Oh you absolutely must read Rebecca—truly the most incredible book. And I hope you enjoy Bring the House Down—I thought it was fab!
