The #hashtagbtigade selection for May is #widesargassosea and we will read a chapter a day! Comment below if you are joining us for this book! Anyone can join at any time, just know that my hashtags are often ridiculous and always chapter spoilers, so don't read the post until you've read the chapter!

ALSO I leave tomorrow for Europe so my posts will come at weird times of the day 🤣 I promise to post though!
I first picked up Jane Eyre for a uni course, and I wish we had to read this book as part of it too.
It gave me so much to think about, and while it is a different style and tone to Brontë, I think it helps make the story and the characters of Rochester and “Bertha” that much more interesting.
Finished in a day too, so that‘s a bonus!

I know it's late for #Day4 #SavvySettings #ATTIC but I wanted to pay homage to a marvelous work of #literarycriticism that influenced at least 2 generations of writers & critics -- and these 3 works of fiction all develop the theme: #JaneEyre,# TheYellowWallpaper, & #WideSargassoSea

pickA pray is supposed to go up to heaven, to touch God or his angels, and fall back on you in grace, strength, or hope. But sometimes it fails, and that gives this beautiful quote: "I prayed, but the words fell to the ground, without meaning." #gabrielledubois #bookreview on #goodreads

Currently reading and enjoying, even it's not usually the kind of writing I like. Some very good quotes, I'll send my review soon... I'm glad I read this author for the first time.

Just started this but liking it! I hadn't know before I got the book that the main character is the first wife of Mr Rochester! Very interested to know more! #books #bookcover #widesargassosea #currentread #lovetoread #bookmad
I don't understand why Rochester is seen as the villain in the novel. I think Richard is the bad guy as he forces Antoinette to marry Rochester and lies to the guy about his bride and her past.
I also think the book is pretty poorly written, too.
