Great list! I love Georgette Heyer!
Thank you. 🙂
A great mix of books!
Thank you.
You found some great titles!
Thank you. 🙂
I think you win for finding some of the most obscure titles. That Jordi, Swiss one looks ancient. Is it a book from your childhood? Adding The Greenlanders to my reading list. I think Jane Smiley is a great writer.
Oh, that’s awesome. No, I actually found it on Goodreads while trying to brainstorm more ideas for this post. Happy reading.
What a nice variety of books!
Thanks. 🙂
Interesting selection of books. This is a fun topic.
Totally agree with you there!
I love the look of The Japanese Lover and Sonnets from the Portuguese!
Nice list 🙂

Yes, they’re eye-catching for sure. 🙂
Nice title picks! All new to me ones for sure!
Thanks for visiting my TTT!
You’re quite welcome!
I almost included The Greenlanders in mine but I already had 10 when I found it.
Oh, that’s cool. I’m glad you’ve heard of it!
You’ve got a nice mix of books here. I’m interested in reading The Greenlanders.
Thank you. Hope you like it!
Great list! I haven’t read any of these.
Happy TTT!

Thank you. 🙂
I found this topic to be difficult, but I am really impressed with the variety I am seeing on everyone’s lists. I should check out that book of sonnets.
I found it tricky, too, but everyone did a great job. 🙂
Good list! I’m not familiar with any of them but it’s clear you put a lot of work in it.
Aww, thanks. 🙂
