I just wanted to give a quick update on my next book. I am reading all of the Christmas Books by Charles Dickens. We all know and love A Christmas Carol, however, I wasn't aware that he wrote four more short Christmas Novels. Each one is about seventy-five pages and I plan to write one book report for all of them together, and count them as single book for the project.
The Christmas books:
- A Christmas Carol (1843)
- The Chimes (1844)
- The Cricket on the Hearth (1845)
- The Battle of Life (1846)
- The Haunted Man and the Ghost’s Bargain (1848)

So how are the other Dickens' Christmas tales coming along? Are the others any good? Any unknown treasures?
ReplyDeleteHi Tina,
ReplyDeleteI've only been able to read about 30 pages of The Chimes so far. It has been crazy hectic around here and I've gone to bed to exhausted to read...

The Cricket on the Hearth is by far my favorite so far outside of A Christmas Carol
ReplyDeleteI admire you for reading that much Dickens...never been a favorite of mine.
ReplyDeleteOk, I finally finished the fifth book at lunch today.. All in all, good stories, but I would recommend that one spreads them out a bit. Book report sometime soon!
