I really want to read Eleanor and Park because I've enjoyed the two Rainbow Rowell books I've read so far (Fangirl and Carry On, both with super lovable romances) and I need more of her books in my life!Helia (Rose Quartz Reads)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00829298596495957165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-36380317754224495832017-02-15T19:13:17.123-06:002017-02-15T19:13:17.123-06:00This is a fun list.

I'm not a fan of Rochester. Still, one of my favorite books. It's okay if you don't like it. :-) Eleanor and Park was a great story and Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorites. I have enjoyed everything by Austin I have read, really. I confess I have no interest in reading Gone with the Wind or The Rosie Project, despite the love the two books have received from readers.

Now, Jane Eyre, the romance isn't the greatest, certain aspects of the book make it really problematic.

I wonder if it's only fantasy time travel you dislike (such as in Outlander) or if you could like it if it was science-fiction instead? If so, I can heartily recommend "To Say Nothing of the Dog" by Connie Willis. It's light-hearted and the time-travel is (sort-of) rationally explained.Bibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10960676264710788969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-43093748474555437792017-02-14T06:14:47.588-06:002017-02-14T06:14:47.588-06:00Great list!
