  3. The Old Lace Shop by Michelle Griep - 3rd in Once Upon a Dickens Christmas series
  4. Mr. Dickens and His Carol by Samantha Silva
  5. Great Expectations by Charles Dickens 
  6. At the Back of the North Wind by George MacDonald

Many readers get stuck in one genre. Not you. Even though you thrive with Dickens and literature set in the Victorian era, which many of us find harder to read, you guide us through a variety of authors and books. Thank you!
