Jane Eyre | 
so-soHere‘s my review for this book.
This book counts for a reading challenge I‘m participating in on StoryGraph.

I‘m reading Jane Eyre for the first time and who knows, it could all work out for her I‘m only in the 28th chapter, but this woman has got me so annoyed just up and leaving in the middle of the night only taking some bread and cheese, absentmindedly leaving all her earthly possessions in the stage coach like this, torturing herself with the idea of never seeing him again all as she sleeps under a rock.

Thank you all for the birthday wishes ❤️ I know I haven‘t been around here much the past few months, and to be remembered by you all really means a lot to me.
The photo is a book art piece that was a birthday present from son and his family; the book is Jane Eyre. What a nice surprise.
Mini book haul..... Could not resist adding these editions to my Austen and Bronte shelves.
I found these in my local TK Maxx (UK) and got all for under a tenner 👍👍
There was no possibility of taking a walk that day. We had been wandering, indeed, in the leafless shrubbery an hour in the morning; but since dinner (Mrs. Reed, when there was no company, dined early) the cold winter wind had brought with it clouds so sombre, and a rain so penetrating, that further out-door exercise was now out of the question.

* shy, quiet but approachable. Older ladies and gentlemen always seemed to chat to me in the supermarket.
* Kind, helpful, determined and open.
* Jane Eyre. She's quiet but has this hidden strength and independence to get on with life.
Thanks for the tag @Eggs . Play along everyone if you want.
so-soI really enjoyed the beginning. But soon as she moved into the Rochester house, I could not deal with the amount of gibberish they talked! Everything was a metaphor, everything was some ‘floating feelings like the night sky on a summers day‘ whatever! Some example above^ If shorter and more to the point, this would‘ve been a pick for me. The end also was way too rushed. And last characters introduced way too late into the book, did not like it.

Finally finished this one tonight after months of working on it a little at a time. On to the Virginia Woolf version
pickI wanted to read something Gothic and this satisfied that craving. A beautifully written novel but it also had plenty of shortcomings. There were many racist comments, the too-convenient plot resolutions. I found a lot of the story beats too overdramatic, even for a gothic novel. Jane, although sweet and relatable also comes off as an “I'm not like other girls“ type character because although she is not described as pretty men still desire her.

Taking out a lot of books that I am not really focusing on atm. Finished Emma this week and it was really fun and clever but I also expected more out of it. Picked up Jane Eyre after it, and I have been making steady progress with it. I'm pretty sure I will be finishing ASOS this week, so looking forward to that.

Charlotte Brontë (21 April 1816 – 31 March 1855) was an English novelist and poet, the eldest of the three Brontë sisters who survived into adulthood and whose novels became classics of English literature. She is best known for her novel Jane Eyre, which she published under the gender neutral pen name Currer Bell. Jane Eyre went on to become a success in publication, and is widely held in high regard in the gothic fiction genre of literature. ??
“My Master,” he says, “has forewarned me. Daily He announces more distinctly,—‘Surely I come quickly!' and hourly I more eagerly respond,—'Amen; even so come, Lord Jesus!”

pickI finally read Jane Eyre and I can see the hype! So much happening in this novel! I think as a modern reader my reception is likely different as there was not any moment during this novel that I liked Mr Rochester. He bugged the hell out of me. Just the biggest red flag all of the time. Not one endearing quality for me. (Cont. in comments 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻)
I hit the used bookstore lottery today with four incredibly-priced Cranford Collection editions - Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, Little Women, and P&P. Heading home to giddily arrange these on my shelf. ❤️
pickEvery time I finish this book I miss the characters instantly. Forever my favourite 🕯️👰♀️
pickWhat more can I add about a classic? I can tell you that I read this for my Victorian Lit class and we roasted Rochester on the daily. 😂 234/1,001 #BookSpin for September #FlourishAndBlott Set/Written Before 2000 #TBRTarot Which Has a Person‘s Name in the Title #RoryGilmoreChallenge
