I’m about 60% through “The Good Sister”. I liked “Elenor Oliphant is Completely Fine” and it kind of reminds me of it.

I'm still reading Autobiography of a Yogi; I read before bed, so I don't usually get far. I'm also still reading The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. I really enjoyed this one to start, but it is majorly dragging for me now! It feels bogged down by temporal shifts and too much foreshadowing until we actually get to the story.
I think I am going to re-read Pride and Prejudice next. I read it back in high school and didn't really like it, but I believe I'll have more appreciation for it now, especially given that I've read the "Mr. & Mrs. Darcy" series.

One thing I love about Jane Austen's work is that it stands up so beautifully to multiple re-readings. You can read them as straight up love stories, sure, but I really enjoy the humor and the character portraits. These books may be old, but people are still very much the same.

Anna, I'm sure I'll enjoy it. When I recently read Sense and Sensibility, it took me a little time to adjust to the writing style, but after that I really enjoyed it.
Erica, same! There were some things I enjoyed, but other works that I think kind of got the life sucked out of them by how they were taught. And there was a lot that we didn't cover - I went back and read a lot of classics on my own when I was in my 20s.
