Generally they’re looking for classics, just coz they’ve got lots in them and they have people critiquing the work as well. I’m doing Jekyll and Hyde with Dorian Gray this year but i think you can also do modern classics like Ishiguro

If you want general vibes of books hopefully this list should help xx
