Are you a fan of classics? Or maybe you tend to like reading more newer and modern books? Whatever's your thing, these are six classics every teen girl should read, whether a big classics nerd or not! XD
1. Little Women
This is the classic of classics! XD The story of the four March sisters is really sweet, romantic, and has a lot of life lessons within it. Definitely worth your read! (And also, if you buy/get the unabridged version...its a very big book, but don't be intimated! Its a fun, interesting read all the way through. :D)
2. Pride and Prejudice
Simple: if you haven't read Pride and Prejudice, you have not lived. XD Seriously, read this book. Its the best of the best. I am sure you'll fall in love with a certain male character from the book like I did, before you even finish the book. And end up only wanting to marry a man like him in the future. (Which is totally a good thing! ;) ) Literally (I wont say his name for those of you who haven't read the book yet) you're going to fall more hopelessly in love with him than any other fictional character ever. And plus, everything else about the book is... well, perfect. XD
3. Anne of Green Gables
I absolutely love the films they made on the Anne of Green Gable books, and most likely, you may love them too. If you do, you'll love the books as well! They explore the whole story of Anne Shirley in a way that even the beautiful films made on the books could not. You really need to read this series! My favorites are the Anne of Avonlea and Anne of the Island books, they're the best in the series in my opinion. :)
4. Emma
Another beautiful book by Jane Austen, this book is one of a young lady finding herself...when she really worked towards the process of losing herself. Yes, ironic and opposing of itself, which makes it so great. Just read it, okay? xD
5. Wuthering Heights
Though much of this book is kind of gloomy and melancholy, its really worth your time to read. I love the themes of desperate love, intense hatred, and the lives of many (and very drastically, morally different) generations and people that interplay into one sober, but interesting, novel.
6. Jane Eyre
This novel was actually revolutionary for the time, because the heroine falls in love first with the male propagandist in the book, instead of the usual vice-versa. Jane Eyre is a really powerful heroine who gives this book a vivacious spark like no other written in its time. The story is tragic, romantic, and full of mystery and suspense too. And its written by the real sister of Charlotte Bronte, the author of Wuthering Heights! :)
I hope, perhaps for the summer, you can read at least some of these books if you haven't already. Comment below with a favorite classic of yours! :)

For most of the books you mentioned, I've heard about, read, or watched the films. I've watched the film (or part of it. I don't quite remember) of Little Women. I loved the movie and I'm sure the book is even better since books tend to turn out that way :P As for Pride and Prejudice, oh my goodness. I haven't read the book but the movie with Keira Knightley is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! One of my all time favorite classical movies. Anne of Green Gables series I've read and loved! I actually want to reread them. L.M Montgomery is a genius author with such a great writing style. I haven't heard of four and five but if you recommend them, I'm sure they're good. I'll have to check them out! Jane Eyre. Haven't read the book but I've seen the 1996 movie. It has a good story line for the movie, but like I mentioned already, the books tend to be different from the movies. So I'll have to check out the book as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recommendations! They all are/sound interesting! Hopefully I can squeeze in some reading this summer :D
Hehe that's awesome! Same here, I've seen all of these either in book and/or movie form, they're all so good! Yes, definitely check out four and five, they're really well written and are a great read! And no problem! I had to let out a tinny bit of my crazy classic nerdiness somewhere-so why not here on my blog? XD Thanks for commenting! :)
