What a great list! I’m especially a big fan of the 1800 section 🙂 Gaskell is one of my favourite writers so I hope you love North and South – it’s a brilliant read! Gissing is on my to-read list as well x
Thanks, Emma! I think I will feel very accomplished when I have read all of the 1800s section (and then I can add more…) 🙂
