What I Read Last Week

The Case of the Missing Books by Ian Sansom (Review will be posted tomorrow!)

What I'm Reading Now

Waverley by Sir Walter Scott (My Classics Club spin book)

What's Coming Up Next

Waverley is taking me awhile to get through. I've been reading it for a week, and I'm only 200 pages in. 400 still to go, so I'll be working my way through this one for awhile!

What is Waverly about? I've only heard about it just in relation to being by Sir Walter Scott and I wasn't a fan of the book of Ivanhoe so it didn't make my Classics Club list.

Waverley is about the Jacobite rebellion of 1745. The Jacobites have interested me since I visited Scotland in 2007, so I was glad to find a book about it. It took me awhile to adjust my reading speed to a classic. It's been too long since I've read one! I'm definitely enjoying Waverley now that I've gotten into it.

Waverly looks tough! I am slacking on my Classics Club Spin book; I am not in the mood to read it! I know that is the point, but I seem to be having a hard time making myself read it. Lol.

Waverley was tough to get into, but now I'm moving along better. I know what you mean - if it weren't for these spin books, my list wouldn't be looking very good!

I read Ivanhoe a few years ago but I didn't know about this other Scott book. How are you liking it?

It's been awhile since I read Ivanhoe, so I can't say for sure, but I think I like Waverley better. It's about a period of Scottish history that I'm curious about, and I love learning while reading!
