Love this list! I hadn’t heard of this Victoria Holt one, I enjoyed her books when I was probably too young to be reading them!

Lol. The age old tale of readers getting their hands on a book a little too young.

I know, before YA was really a thing. We all read Stephen King when we’re 12 & 13, good grief

This is a great list, and I would also add anything written by Mary Stewart. I discovered her in my late teens, and I even reread one of her novels recently and it totally held up.

I loved Mrs. Poe - all of Lynn Cullen's books are a delight!

I don't know how I missed the comments on this post! I know you already left me a message saying you enjoyed it. I don't know how I missed her books for so long! I'm really looking forward to reading her books.
