For That Artsy Reader Girl’s Top Ten Tuesday:
August 16: Books I Love That Were Written Over Ten Years Ago
Since many/most of the books I love are 10+ years old, I decided to do the last ten five star readers from ten years ago or more. Since I only give five stars to the best of the best, this was harder than I thought (there were other five star books but not written in the past 10 years). I ended up going back quite a while!
To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis (1998)
Tom’s Midnight Garden by Philippa Pearce (1958)
Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier (1938)
The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton (1921)
Mariana by Monica Dickens (1940)
The Enchanted April by Elizabeth von Arnim(1922)
The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton(1905)
The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller (2011)
Little Boy Lost by Marghanita Laski (1949)
Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader by Anne Fadiman (1998)

Great list! I have a Connie Willis book on my list this week, too—though I included Bellwether because I feel like I talk about To Say Nothing of the Dog more. (But I do love them both.)
I still need to read Tom’s Midnight Garden.

Connie Willis is getting a lot of mentions this week – I really should make the time to read one of her books!

I recommend either this one or Doomesday Book to start.

I _might_ have a copy of Doomsday Book; it’s that classic intersection of my longstanding interests in plague and time travel 😅
