Wuthering Heights | Bronte Emily

So, one of the categories for the #ReadICT (City of Wichita KS) Reading Challenge is a book that scares me.

I have been fearful of this book. For. Ever? A long time?! I was dismissive of the “girl authors” when I was a snotty snob in HS decades ago and NOW, honestly, them Bronte sisters scare me! 😳 I listened to Jane Eyre (Thandie Newton 🌟) and ❤️‘d it. Will WH give me the same reaction?

LoverOfLearning Hmmm. These books are a bit different. Jane Eyre feels much slower and more character based, whereas WH is a bit more Gothic, quicker paced and more focused on the theme/plot itself not just the characters. Hope this helps. Give it a shot. The audiobook was pretty good. But there many different audios so find one where you like the narrarators voice best. 2w

Ruthiella Agreed with @LoverOfLearning Emily Brontë‘s style is very different from Charlotte‘s. I‘d also try the audio, not only because there is at least one character who speaks entirely in Yorkshire dialect. ? 2w

LoverOfLearning @Ruthiella yes exactly! Ha. But I did enjoy both of these books! Not my favorite of the classics world but definitely worthy. 2w

Tamra WH is one of my all time favorites! ❤️ 2w

BkClubCare @LoverOfLearning I am definitely going audio. I have done enough research (too much?!) of these books that have only added to me trepidation. I did not mean to imply that JE and WH are similar- only that I feared both, in their own way. 2w

BkClubCare @Ruthiella - I *ADORE* the classics via audio. I hope that I have fabulous experience 😊 2w

BkClubCare @Tamra - that is part of my irrational “fear” so many have loved it, and so many have said that their stage-in-life affects their reaction. Kinda wonder if I am “too late” 2w

Tamra @BkClubCare it seems to be polarizing because it is about people behaving badly. 😬 Go into it curious and try to let go of expectations. It‘s okay if you don‘t like it! 2w

LoverOfLearning @Tamra agree! Go into it as if you know nothing. I found it interesting thinking about how differently we respond to heartbreak and societal differences today. 2w

Readerann I don‘t remember too much about how I felt about the characters - but I DO remember how much I loved the writing . 2w

Lcsmcat If you remember WH is not a love story but a revenge story you‘ll get more out of it. (edited) 2w

BkClubCare @Readerann - it‘s a classic for a reason. For this, I am looking fwd. and why audio is my choice cc 2w

BkClubCare @Lcsmcat - good to know 👍 2w

Suet624 I read it years ago - decades ago - and loved it. 2w

It was good to have a book that I was sucked into, making time, avoiding most of life distractions to read - because I missed that need, that drive. But overall, this book was just depressing about how hard it is to trust and react with love in a way that is not messed up by being human/messy. #ReadICT category multiple pts of view. #bookclub #LitPie #ApplePie

Next up: for bookclub. Copper would NOT look at me.

Hoping that this will qualify for a reading challenge category “features a neurodivergent character”

Last night I had the privilege to attend the Natl Figure Skating Pairs and had the best time with friends. Today, just couldn‘t settle in with any current reads and so I searched for “month” on Libby and I selected this. #MiddleGrade #ReadICT
