    Great haul! :)
    Oliver Twist is one of the most interesting classic books I've read.

    SO MANY. There are just so many books! I've read a couple of these and definitely loved some of those classics mentioned up there too. I'm also feeling some serious book envy over the Rainbow Rowell you have listed! I WANT.

      Its ok I have been feeling envious of other people's Rainbow Rowell books too (especially those collector's edition ones). I am so glad I finally have two of them because I have never read a book by her.

    I had to read the Scarlet Letter for class last semester and I did enjoy it. I feel that it is very accessible! I adored Alice in Wonderland. I hope to get my hands on the clothbound version or one with pretty illustrations. The one I read was from the library and not that cool! Have fun with your books, happy reading!

      I'm glad you liked the Scarlet Letter. I actually have to read it for my class this upcoming semester. I also really love the pretty clothbound and leatherbound classics. They just look so nice on the shelf! Unfortunately the ones I bought were nothing special.

    I haven't read any of Rainbow Rowell's yet so I definitely need to pick one of hers up soon, and haven't gotten The Bone Season yet either, which I'll have to do too, haha. Happy reading!
