Welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday! What better way to spend a rainy day than curled up in a comfy place with a great book? When the weather is dark and gloomy, I tend to reach for classics with a dark and moody atmosphere. Let’s get right to my list!
The Complete Stories and Poems by Edgar Allan Poe-Who better to read than Poe on a gloomy day?
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson-Another perfect rainy day read.
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte-The atmosphere of this novel is perfect for a rainy day.
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte-Same as above.
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde-Dark themes for dark weather.
Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice-Vampires and cloudy skies go together quite nicely.
Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen-While Jane Austen is gently poking fun at Gothic tales, this is still an excellent book to pick up on a rainy day.
Claire’s Last Secret by Marty Ambrose-Historical fiction with a dash of suspense and mystery make a good mix on a rainy day.
Jane Austen at Home by Lucy Worsley-I also enjoy reading nonfiction on rainy days. I haven’t had the opportunity to read this book yet. If anyone has read it, what did you think?
Wellington’s Rainy Day by Carolyn Beck-When I asked my children what they would read on a rainy day, this was their recommendation. I think they made a good choice!
