Lizzie - Classic Book Club

Welcome to Classic Book Club

Hello! I am Lizzie, and my main joy in life is reading books and thinking about books! I have so many thoughts about each book I read so wanted a place to record these thoughts, and a place where others who are reading the same book as me can share their thoughts about it too. I’ve tried to write my (often lengthy!) reviews of books so it feels like I am chatting with you as we read the book together, comparing thoughts at the end of a chapter and ideas of where the plot and characters may end up, wondering why the author has written a character or scene in a particular way and what they may be subtly trying to tell us about that character or scene. So enjoy reading along with me, and please get in touch, I’d love to be able to discover more about a favourite book from your thoughts on it.

Excellent Women

I do love Barbara Pym’s books, with their amusingly dry but gentle humour and with just an aside or observation or thought that conveys so much and so accurately sums up the situation. They’re an absolute joy to read. I have a few of her books on my shelf waiting to be read, but I try to ration myself and space out my reading of them so I always have one to look forward to! I am treating myself at the moment by picking up this one. Read the full review
