New Russian Classics Series: TBR & Favorites // Carolyn(Marya)Reads // 2021

Hello Friends, I am so excited to bring you a new series on my channel all about my Russian literature journey! I have fallen in love with Russian classics over the past year or so, and I thought it would be fun to make my future Russian reads into a video series! I decided to name it “Carolyn MARYA Reads,“ because my middle name in Russian (Marie) is Marya!!! I’ll be doing reading vlogs, book discussions, Russian literature research, and even some Russian language learning! I haven’t planned on making this into an actual bookclub, but if you’d like to join me while reading any of the books on my TBR, then definitely let me know and we can make a buddy read group! I’d love to talk to you about all things Russian literature! Are you also interested in Russian literature? If so, what ’s your favorite Russian classic? Do you have a favorite Russian writer or translator? If you are Russian, do you have any advice for a non-Russian reader? I’d love to hear from you! :) I hope you’re all doing very well and reading wonderful books! Sending you my very best wishes, Carolyn Marya ;) Dickens vs. Tolstoy co-host: @emmiereads Our Announcement videos for more details: Carolyn’s - Emma’s - Our Past Debates: Jan. “Childhood Boyhood Youth“ by Tolstoy - Feb. and Mar. “The Pickwick Papers“ by Dickens - April and May “War and Peace“ by Tolstoy - My Social Media: CarolynMarieReads ***Art/Book Instagram - ***GoodReads - ***Business inquiries: @ ***My Etsy Shop (sold out, but more are on the way very soon!) - ***Want to write me or send something?
