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!

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!
