Current Reads: Madam Crowl's Ghost & Other Stories by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. In 1888 Henry James wrote "There was the customary novel by Mr. Le Fanu for the bedside, the ideal reading in a country house for the hours after midnight." [These] are tales selected from Le Fanu's stories which mostly appeared in The Dublin University Magazine and other periodicals, and their haunting, sinister qualities still have an enormous appeal for the modern reader.Just Finished (click titles for reviews):

Oh they all sound over the top to me, not in my reading comfort zone. However, I wish you Happy Reading. Thanks for the visit.
I NEED to read the Gail Carriger's series! I keep saying this everywhere, but I have the three on my Kindle and I'm just trying to get through library books before I go to it!
Sounds like some "heavy" books. I am in awe of you, that you can read so many classics.

@CMash...that's what happens when one gets into the blogging world. At least to me. I get caught up in all these challenges and then all of sudden I'm reading all these classics. I've been side-tracked from my first love: classic mysteries. That's okay...I'm working on thinking up a "Vintage Mystery" Challenge to start off the New Year.
My changeless is in the mail! So excited :D
Also just finished Soulless.
I can't say that I've ever heard of Le Fanu, I wonder what else is considered a classic that I've never heard of before!
Thanks for visiting my WWW!
Sorry for being late. :) these looks like great books. Gail Carriger, I've been seeing a lot of her books lately. Exquisite covers!
