Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl with a new prompt each week. This week’s prompt is Oldest (aka Earliest Published) Books On My TBR (submitted by Nicole @ BookWyrm Knits).
For this prompt, we each selected 5 of the oldest books on our TBR. What are your favorite “old” books? Have you ready any on our TBRs?

This was fun! I really need to read more classics (per my goal for the year and in general). I organized these in order of publication. Shout out to StoryGraph for their awesome filtering features for making this easy. These range from a publication date of 1813 – 1949.
Admittedly, I’ve picked up two of these and started, but haven’t finished. I hope to finish one more classic by the end of the year.

Like Meagan, I used my StoryGraph TBR for this prompt. Which is specifically a list of books I already own. And I really don’t have too many on my TBR list that I’d consider all that old. My list has one book from 1890, and everything else is 1994-2000.
This reminds me how much I enjoyed Helen Hollick’s The Forever Queen back when I read it in the early 2000’s. I should probably finally read the second in the series.

1984 was such a good read.
It’s scary how relevant 1984 has become in recent years.

Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorites! I’ve been meaning to get to Jane Eyre for years. I hope you get to these!
Great list! I love Little Women, it’s one of my favorite classics. I Am The Chosen King looks really interesting, I should look into it. I hope you’ll love these books when you read them 🙂

I’m not much for classics, but I do love PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, JANE EYRE, and LITTLE WOMEN. I’ve been meaning to read 1984 for forever and still haven’t gotten to it. One of these days!
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
