Jane Eyre | Charlotte Brontee

This is the edition of Jane Eyre that I grew up on—I blame it for my lifelong but unfulfilled desire for a window seat. 😊 Jane is perusing Bewick's History of British Birds, which I have never read, but I think qualifies as a #monograph. #maylovesclassics #litsyclassicshost #oldcoolbooks

LoverofLit I also longed (and still do) for a window seat! 7y

LeahBergen I STILL need a window seat. 😫 7y

Linsy Lovely! I‘ve always wanted one as well! There‘s just something about reading in one ... seems like pure bliss. 7y

TheDaysGoBy Agree with everyone - I've dreamed of a cozy window seat. I know my kitty would enjoy it as much as me too 🐱 7y

rubyslippersreads @LoverofLit @LeahBergen @Linsy @TheDaysGoBy This sounds like a universal Litten dream. 😊 7y

Howards End (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) | E M Forster

I don't know if this #novel has the #mostgruesomecrimescene, but it might be the most horrifying to a bookworm. It takes place in a #building and involves more than one #family. #maylovesclassics #litsyclassicshost #oldcoolbooks #catchingup

ReadZenRites Love that cover with the old mansion! 7y

Linsy Lovely! I‘ve never read it, but it‘s now on my TBR! I just watched the Stars adaptation and LOVED it! 👏 7y

batsy Oooh! Great pick. 7y

rubyslippersreads @Linsy I don't have Starz, but I ❤️ the Emma Thompson movie. 7y

batsy Those covers! 7y

LauraJ Is Pat the cat? 7y

LeahBergen I love that Mistress Pat cover! 😍 7y

sarahjane1077 Absolutely. I still fantasize about all my hair falling out after a fever and growing back in curly. Is that weird? Don‘t answer that. 7y

Sarah83 Of course 😁 7y

ValerieAndBooks The cat on the Mistress Pat cover even looks a bit like Max! @DebinHawaii 7y

rubyslippersreads @LauraJ No, Pat is the girl who's patting the cat. 😸 7y

rubyslippersreads @LeahBergen it's kind of L.M. Montgomery as illustrated by Anne Taintor. 😂 7y

rubyslippersreads @sarahjane1077 I'd totally forgotten about that! Time for a reread. 😊 7y

LeahBergen And now I can‘t unsee that. 😂 7y

LibrarianRyan The top left one is my fav of the three. Not impressed with the top right version. 7y

Forsyte Saga - Complete | John Galsworthy

I ❤️ the old black-and-white Masterpiece version of the tagged book (although this picture of the cast is too early in the series to include the adorable Susan Hampshire as Fleur). #tvadaption #tvadaptation #maylovesclassics #litsyclassicshost
