I never read Jane Eyre 🙈 but I now feel as though I definitely will be doing that in the next year.
“the sort of library you would marry a man for” is a line that I understand so deeply. Corey’s bookshelf definitely made me more attracted to him the first time I saw it 😍
All of Thursday Next sounds like a blast and honestly the push I need to go back and reread some classics that I definitely did not fully appreciate with my still-developed high school mind
libby my dear, you are my target audience! you get it, thank you!
yes do read jane eyre! its fairly long and dense, but never boring. take a while if needed, but do read it!
Yes! I think you'd love Thursday next! They are too fun and I got re-sucked in when I went through the first one to prep for this post. TOO MANY BOOKS TOO LITTLE TIME
I can't remember what I wrote about, off the top of my head, but I wrote more than one essay about Jane Eyre in college and enjoyed reading yours! Especially liked the part about birds as I've never delved deep into that and will be noticing on my next re-read. If you ever feel like reading a fat Brontë biography I liked The Brontës by Juliet Barker.
thanks so much! i felt a bit student like putting this one together and still have that essay writing itch somehow for this book in particular. i keep thinking about it! ooh will add that bio to my list, perhaps a good companion if i ever make it to the english moors!
Ok the only one of these I've read was The Wife Upstairs which was just so silly I wondered if I'd dislike all Jane Eyre adaptations or books-adjacent. Thanks for reinspiring me!
As always, a delight to read your thoughts while I have my morning Tuesday coffee! I believe you gave me a Jane copy when 8 was a teenager which has now gone missing, I will have to get another! Couldn’t possibly resist the gothic nature of this book
