To-be-read shelves (5/10)

I also have ‘The City of Fallen Angles’ on my shelves. I loved his ‘The Garden of Evening Mist’, so there bought this one. Not read yet though. I have tried out two books by Sarah Dunant, but I don’t seem able to continue. There is something that ‘drags’ out the stories with endless small details. I tried ‘Sacred Heart’ but had to give up. I also have started ‘The Queen’s Sorrow’ about Mary Tudor. Interesting times, but somehow I must have thought the wine was more interesting than the book, since I recently found it lying unread on the wine rack! Since I love historical fiction, I might give it a go again.
Alexander McCall Smith is always good.
Recently, I finally read CB’s ‘The Professor’. I must admit that I quite liked it, and it was an easy read. It is much more the story of the school than ‘Vilette’, although the latter is more complex. I am still trying to read ‘Shirley’ which I don’t like, but I have set myself to read it, if only to read one chapter a day to finish it!
I agree with your ideas about Anne, I think she was always in the shadow of the other two. However, with ‘The Tenant of Wildfell Hall’ she is far ahead. A wonderful book. I did not like ‘Agnes Grey’ so much, but it was ok. It just leaves out ‘Shirley’ and then I have read all the books by the sisters. Unfortunately, I must say!
