The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (Illustrated) | Anne Brontë

pick

I have now read all 3 of the Bronte's novels. Wildfell Hall edges out Jane Eyre as the one I liked best. Simply because there wasn't a crazy woman in the attic. #WanderingThroughWutheringHeights is definitely the worst IMHO.

None of these will be going on my #forevershelf. Took ðŸ“¸ at B & N and then put them back on shelf and bought 3 other books.

BarkingMadRead Love it! 3y

sprainedbrain I really like Wildfell Hall as well, but Jane is still my favorite by an edge. I know I‘m probably toxic af but I still â¤ï¸ Rochester. Right there with you on WH, though. ðŸ˜‚ 3y

Librarybelle I know, right??? 3y

MoonWitch94 Arthur is THE WORST! ðŸ˜µâ€ðŸ’« But how can she NOT see who he truly is. It is mind boggling. 3y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @Librarybelle @BarkingMadRun @MoonWitch94 Arthur is the worst. ðŸ¤¬ At least she is starting to question his actions. I'm liking this Bronte soooo much better than #WanderingThroughWutheringHeights. I've never read Tenant so curious to see where it goes. 3y

BarkingMadRead @Crinoline_Laphroaig this is my first time reading ad well, and I‘m liking the drama much better lol 3y

MoonWitch94 @Crinoline_Laphroaig This is my first time reading & I am absolutely enjoying it better. 3y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @BarkingMadRun @MoonWitch94 I just finished reading the new Natalie Jenner book and two of the characters call Anne â€œthe neglected one of the pack.â€ Which is so true! Emily and Charlotte seem to me to be the ones most talked of.

MoonWitch94 @Crinoline_Laphroaig Ohh that looks like a good one. Added it to my tbr. But that is absolutely true. She does seem to be. 3y

tpixie @Crinoline_Laphroaig thanks for book tag, and Anne is my favorite Brontë! 3y

Clare-Dragonfly He is so awful! I came across an article about Anne and Tenant that I was going to share but it‘s spoilery. So I‘ll wait until we‘re done! 3y

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I can‘t wait to see it! 3y

Bklover @Clare-Dragonfly Oh, I‘m looking forward to reading your article!! 3y

julieclair Great meme! So true! ðŸ˜‚ And yes, Arthur is so slimy. For some reason, I picture him as Rhett Butler in Gone with the Wind... 3y

julieclair @Crinoline_Laphroaig Bloomsbury Girls looks awesome! Have added it to my stack. Thanks for mentioning it, as I had never heard of it. 3y

BarkingMadRead @julieclair omg yes! Perfect comparison! 3y

"â€˜Come, then, Helen, are you going to be a good girl?‘ said he."

Arthur â€¼ï¸? At least unlike #WanderingThroughWutheringHeights Helen doesn't think his controling nature is proof of his love.

Wuthering Heights | Bronte Emily

I‘m really late to the party on this. No time for Litsy this week during training. Here‘s my take:
1. First read after many unsuccessful attempts years ago & had really given up ever reading it
2. Mix of all 3
3. No too many others I‘ll like much better
4. Meh to hated
5. Favorite thing: Emily kept it real about repeated family mistakes
7. Not really. Maybe it only is because of her sister.

My Review â¬‡ï¸

Crinoline_Laphroaig WH is now on the It‘s Considered a Classic, I've Read It, & Thankfully I Never Have To Read It Again List.

I don't understand how people group Heathcliff in the same Catagory as Jane Austen's Darcy.

Heathcliff isn't an example of a Romantic Hero, he‘s an example of Crazed Obsession. If you like that kind of story that's one thing but if that's what you think love is I'm seriously worried for you. â¬‡ï¸

Bookwormjillk Very interesting. Thanks! 3y

ravenlee I think â€œheroâ€ itself is a problematic term here. We want the â€œheroâ€ to be heroic, sympathetic, swoon-worthy, and a Romantic hero isn‘t really any of those things (necessarily). Whereas a romantic hero is the lead male character in a love story, and we want to feel all the feels for him. 3y

TheAromaofBooks I also agree that while there is a difference between Romantic and romantic, the pro-Heathcliff people aren't confusing the two - they think that Heathcliff is actually romantic, hence the mugs haha 3y

nanuska_153 @TheAromaofBooks I wasn't aware there are pro-Heathcliff people ðŸ˜… I assume some EMO type? Mary Shelley would get the digging of the grave for sure... 3y

nanuska_153 @Crinoline_Laphroaig also following my comment above, I wasn't aware either that Heathcliff was compared with Darcy. All BrontÃ« sisters have very toxic male characters in their novels, it makes you wonder what inspired them. In Wuthering Heights case, I don't think Emily implied at any moment that Heathcliff was in any way a man to aspire, same with Anne in the tenant of Wildfell hall, for example. 3y

nanuska_153 @Crinoline_Laphroaig I agree that because the author is a woman the novel tends to be classified as romance by default without considering that it might be dealing with something different or more complex than plain romance. Just as Austen novels aren't just romance despite what many people think, even when the romance is a central part of the story they are more complex than that 3y

An Old-fashioned Girl | Louisa May Alcott

Today‘s library #BookHaul has an old copy of the tagged, and the peer-pressure-made-me-do-it Willowweep Manor. Now to keep these separate from the books from my primary libraryâ€¦and find time to read them.

ravenlee @TheBookHippie I do have a number of former library books in my own personal library, but I‘m also concerned about keeping these two from my secondary, only sometimes when the other one doesn‘t have it, library separate from the huge stack from my primary, usual, several-times-a-week library. And then make sure I don‘t check out anything from the tertiary library for a while, either. ðŸ˜† 3y

Wuthering Heights | Emily Brontë

pick

This was a reread, I loved it the fist time and I still do.I find the writing mesmerising, the scenery amazing and the characters are so well drawn. I think the main reason why so many people hate it is because they are expecting a romance, maybe because the BrontÃ« sisters that are always compared to Jane Austen. It's a novel about toxic people and toxic relationships, if you are interested in unlovable characters, go for this classic.

nanuska_153 #WanderingThroughWutheringHeights #Pemberlittens thanks so much @Crinoline_Laphroaig for hosting! 3y
