June has been a great reading month for me. I'm participating in the Victorian Celebration, and having so much fun with that. And when I haven't been reading books, well, I've been watching all the adaptations of Jane Eyre I could find!
Here's what I'm currently reading:
After Dark, Wilkie Collins, collection of mystery short stories, 1856
The Princess and Curdie by George MacDonald, children's fantasy 1883
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, classic, 1847
Holiness: Its Nature, Hindrances, Difficulties and Roots, by J.C. Ryle (unabridged, but I like the abridged cover better) theology, 1879
Lorna Doone: A Romance of Exmoor by R.D. Blackmore, classic, 1869
Here's what I *just* finished reading:
Lady Audley's Secret by Mary Elizabeth Braddon, classic 1862
The Dead Witness: A Connoisseur's Collection of Victorian Detective Stories, edited by Michael Sims, collection of mystery short stories by various writers, 2011
The Long Earth. Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter, science fiction, 2012
