The 1929 Club has just begun, it’s hosted by Kaggsy’s Bookish Ramblings and Simon at Stuck in a Book. So far I’ve only finished reading Goodbye to All That by Robert Graves, it’s a great read which I’ll review soon.
Meanwhile here are a few published in 1929 that I’ve read and blogged about previously.
The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett
Evelyn Finds Herself by Josephine Elder
Hitty Her First Hundred Years by Rachel Field
The Last September by Elizabeth Bowen
The Poisoned Chocolates Case by Anthony Berkeley
Expiation by Elizabeth von Arnim
David Golder by Irene Nemirovsky
The Man in the Queue by Josephine Tey
Daughter of Earth by Agnes Smedley
At the moment I’m reading Berlin Alexanderplatz by Alfred Doblin.
Are you taking part in the #1929 Club?
Some great books there – what a good year it was!
kaggsysbookishramblings,
It was a good year, I read quite a few others before I took up blogging too!
I am reading The Poisoned Chocolate Case now! Also coping with a refrigerator they say is too large to get through the door of my kitchen!
Constance,
Oh no, what a nightmare! I hope they managed to get it through at last!
I wanted to but work reading takes precedence these days. I do look forward to seeing what everyone else reads, though.
Anbolyn,
It’s lovely to hear from you, I hope you’re doing well. It’s natural that work reading comes first I suppose, but I hope those books end up being good reads!
Doing well, thanks! It has just been a weird year for me all around. I hope to get back to blogging soon, though!
Yes, I did but in the end I’ve just posted on Chapter 1 of a book, from an Anthology, as I wasn’t going to get the novel finished.
Whispering Gums,
I’ll be over to have a look, but for some reason I’m not able to get any comments on your blog now, or even my wee photo icon. I’m having the same trouble now with quite a few of my favourite bloggers, I’ll have to try to sort it out.
PS. I’ve just reserved the Frederic Manning book at the library, thanks for writing about it.
