What a fantastic list! I just picked up Dept of Speculation last week and I'm so excited to get to it. I love that Macbeth is on here — I've never read it but I've had it on my shelf for years.
ooh thanks for the 'don't look now' rec. i just read rebecca for the first time for my newsletter post themed around it, https://therollingladder.substack.com/p/rebecca , and definitely need more Daphne de Maurier in my life. Added to library queue!
I’m actually starting Summer by Ali Smith, the last of the Seasonal quartet (yes, I’m a little bit behind 😅). But by far Autumn is my favourite from the quartet, will see if Summer exceeds this.
Thank you for the recommendations, I can’t believe I’ve never heard about some of these books, especially Carmilla, looking forward to that one!
Dept of Speculation is one of my favorite books. I re-read it periodically which is easy to do because it's so small and it feels like a different book every time. The older I get, the more I appreciate it.
this might be dumb but i didn't know autumn was the first in the quartet. Thank you for recommending dept of speculation, I had never heard of it
not dumb at all! it's something i had to search up to figure out. and i hope you enjoy dept of speculation—it is a phenomenal read!
i just got it actually thanks to you!
omg i just finished in the dream house!!! second that rec, it was a great read. will be referring to this list for my next book 😇
ugh i love that book so much! might reread it this fall as well. and thank you, i hope it doesn't disappoint!
I'm reading Jane Eyre and watching Gilmore Girls and it feels like heaven. Enjoy your readings 😊
Autumn, Don’t Look Now and In the Dream House are all on my list! Can’t wait to get to them<3
good thing i didn't read most of them :D
