I felt it was appropriate to include Charles Dickens on this Reading Blitz. Since I was in the merry month of December..Dickens fit nicely with a Christmas theme. The Christmas stories weren't as big as some of his other titles (Oliver Twist, Great Expectations, Tale of Two Cities) but they were deeply rich words from a classic hand.
Book 48, A Christmas Carol
Book 49, Holiday Romance
Book 50, Christmas Stories
A Christmas Carol was largely the most popular (thanks to Hollywood) and read beautifully. The others were a little more time compressed with Old English language, but were still classic Dickens!
I believe I will try to add another classic Dickens novel this year. We will see! However, I would recommend Dickens. His work has lasted the test of time for a reason!
