Recs if you like Cranford...

Based on the list/book published in 2006, general editor Peter Boxall.

classic literature only written by women, because why would a man be there??

Overlooked, lesser known classics from all over the world and of many genres.

This list also exists as a book club on Fable under the same name.

Keeping up with the 700+ books featured on Overdue since 2013

I will update this list frequently! Recommendations welcomed.

Books with strong memorable women doing iconic things. From lizzie Bennet to Bathsheba Everdene ( they would have been friends I know it)

List of classics for those interested in the genre.

Novels set in the countryside, which are comfy, connected, scenic and feels like home, you wish to live there❤️( I'm trying to collect stories from across the world, let me know your favourites, I'm happy to add as well)

classic literature that feels like running through a field in a long skirt or writing ink-stained poems at midnight, elegant prose, moral themes, academia, mostly from between 1500-1900 (a few exceptions)

This is the compendium of books from the 2012 edition.

classic novels where the depiction of rural, pastoral England is a notable feature

Bridgerton's style soundtrack, but not as raunchy as Bridgerton.

I think the author is using books as a character and social commentary. I’ve added one film poster & one play reference because they were originally written stories. I wonder if I have missed any.

(Cry Havoc is a wry, compelling, and funnier than expected, mystery at an all girls boarding school in 1980’s UK. Everyone has a secret and everything is going wrong. There’s a strange contagion taking place. A very satisfying read).

For people who have English as their second language and wants to hone their powers to be able to read Sherlock's Victorian English.
