Now that I've finished today's #WanderingThroughWutheringHeights I'm off to read the new Alexis Hall. Im immediately charmed because Epigraph is from Jane Austen. 😍
🤦🏻♀️ Nelly‼ When has Cathy ever sat quietly by the fire?
#WanderingThroughWutheringHeights
#Chapter23 #PemberLittens
It had me at Gothic Graphic Novel. I'm betting it's not nearly as Whack a Doodle as #WanderingThroughWutheringHeights. 😉
After all the drama of this Weekend's Chapters, this one is fairly slow. Just some Low-key Heathcliff Plotting. And I learned a new word.

pick❓❓❓ for my recent #IRLBookClub Discussion.
You're traveling to Shetland: Do you take the 1Hr ✈ from Mainland to Shetland or 12 HR 30 M Overnight ⛴ ?
You are gifted Season in Shetland: Winter w/Up Helly Aa 🔥 Festival, Short Days & Northern Lights? 🌌 Or Summer Simmer Dim & when no darkness happens? 😎
You make friends, they offer to teach a new skill: Fair Isle Knitting 🧶 or Sail the Seas? ⛵

pickRereading. It‘s been 4 years since I read this. And I'd forgotten that ending! Also how all the middle aged people were having sex. Off page but still it was there. Yay! Thanks to my friend Haley that's also reading, I now see the Bella Sinclair as Shetland's Moira Rose.
Lots of character development for Inspector Perez. Setting of story during Simmer Dim when its never dark in Shetland was fascinating.

Cathy is the daughter. Catherine is the dead mother. Ok, I sorted that out.
Got the answer to yesterday's question of where Linton is.
Really Nelly??? You couldn't guess that Cathy would leave the Grange?
Given Cathy being a spoiled brat in this Chapter and this story so far, I don't see this going well. My guess is 2nd Generation is a bad as the 1st.
#WanderingThroughWutheringHeights
#Pemberlittens #Chapter18
Ugh the Character Names in this book!🤦🏻♀️
Did Emily use the same names over and over on purpose to confuse the reader? Or did she use up all her imagination in the story and couldn't be bothered with coming up with different names?
For instance Isabella names her son Linton and her Edgar is often called just by his last Name of Linton.

#Pemberlittens #Chapter17
It's looking very Wuthering Heights at my house this morning with the full moon still visible.
This marks 1st time I've had sympathy for adult Heathcliff. Childhood H was easy to feel sorry for. Once he grew up not so much. His grief in this Chapter is so sad but also has me wondering how he will take his unhappiness out on others.
And I forgot to tag everyone yesterday. 🤦🏻♀️

#Chapter16 #PemberLittens
Happy Ever After on a Monday morning.
I've kept this downloaded because occasionally I just want to listen to the Epilogue, again because it makes me so happy. 💖💕 #montaguesiblings
I'm going to have to agree with Nelly. If you love someone you don't wish them to be unhappy when you die.
This is why I've instructed the Nibilings that when I'm gone I don't want a funeral. I want them to toast my life with my good whisky.🥃

My early Monday Morning Me Time with #PemberLittens & @jenniferw88 #BuddyRead.
Jane's niece Fanny - Lady Knatchbull had me ?.
But ending with this made me ?:
"Make friends with this quiet but brilliant woman, this superb artist in fiction, and you have made a friend for life."
pickThis book isn't in database but I'm guessing the Shetland Library has it.....Because I'm a gardener, when I travel, I'm always interested in seeing how and what other gardeners are growing. Since I'm not going to see in person this year, I decided to find a book about gardening in Shetland. ⬇️
pickThis was the year we were supposed to go to Shetland. I purposely made Raven Black my pick for my January Books and Brews because I knew I would want to reread the Series before we went. And because it's a great choice for January as it takes place starting at New Years and going through Up Helly Aa. We've decided to postpone our trip so instead I will be traveling to Shetland via Book. ⬇️
Happy Friday PemberLittens!
Has it's been a crazy week and you're behind?
On a Roll with Chapter a Day?
Or like me, weekends are busier so I read ahead through Sunday?
So I'm grouping these 3 Chapters together. You can discuss one or all here, your thoughts so far, or check out some of the awesome posts in the #WanderingThroughWutheringHeights Tag.
Reading should be fun! Do what makes you happy! 😊
All Hell has broken loose at Thrushcross Grange:
"Your presence is a moral poison that would contaminate the most virtuous: for that cause, and to prevent worse consequences, I shall deny you hereafter admission into this house, and give notice now that I require your instant departure."

#Chapter11 #PemberLittens
pickMy lovely Clothbound Classic contains all 3 Volumes of Jane Austen's Juvenilia. I've finished Volume 1. Silly but oh so delightful. 📖📚🫖
I just Voted‼ You can to. I copied the link:

Thanks @LibrarianRyan for doing the work to make this happen.
Because I'm a gardener a
#WanderingThroughWutheringHeights extra -and I find any mention of plants interesting:"Tell her what Heathcliff is: an unreclaimed creature, without refinement, without cultivation; an arid wilderness of furze and whinstone."
So it's the samething as gorse. #PemberLittens
Heathcliff is back after 3 years and more drama happens.
This had me turning to Google. "Tell her what Heathcliff is: an unreclaimed creature, without refinement, without cultivation; an arid wilderness of furze and whinstone."
Furze is a thorny evergreen shrub. Whinstone is a term used in the quarrying industry to describe any hard dark-coloured rock.

#Chapter10 #PemberLittens
#PemberLittens @jenniferw88 I found a wrong statement in the tagged #BuddyRead:
'... it's possible to read everything she wrote: Six completed Novels, three unfinished ones, three volumes of juvenilia...'
It's 7 Completed, 2 Uncompleted (The Watsons & Sanditon). I think writer considered Lady Susan as Uncompleted when it's actually Completed just Not Published.
Anyhow it has me planning a Yearlong Read of everything. 🤓
#ayearofjaneausten
Wow. Just when you think this family can't get any worse. They do!
And another pretty edition. Anyone reading from this one?
#WanderingThroughWutheringHeights
#Chapter9 #PemberLittens
pickHappiness is waking up early to read the new Detective Matthew Venn Short Story.
Definitely a short story at 16 pages. I finished reading before I finished my morning tea. But Matthew and Jen are there. As well as the beautiful imagery that Ann Cleeves is so brilliant at. The Two Rivers Series is a favorite of mine so it was a lovely treat to start the day.

Monday Morning is my time w/ this #PemberLittens Readalong hosted by @jenniferw88.
Enjoyed Chapter on obtaining Vol 2 of Juvenalia . But the rest of these are just to pretentious for my sake. Feels like 'Let me the Scholar explain things that you the reader are not smart enough to understand.'
Particularly disagreed w/ critiques of Northanger Abbey film & book. NA is satire and when you take it too seriously you miss the point. And the fun.
Does anyone have this edition of WH? I have the Pride & Prejudice edition and it's beautiful. Would love to see WH one but it's pretty costly.
As for this Chapter:"The curate dropped calling, and nobody decent came near us,"
No Surprise There!
Heathcliff is surely and stalkerish
Cathy's a mean girl
Edgar Linton doesn't have sense enough to run.

#Chapter8 #PemberLittens
Originally listened when it was first released. Loved it! Divided into a Chapter for each Month. I'll be rereading along all year long. And drinking whisky.🏴 📖🥃
#january #monthbymonth #scotland
This quick change from Past to Present was really confusing especially when on Audio. I had to listen twice.
As for the Chapter as whole, it's just more people be awful and then Heathcliff begins to plot.

Chapter 5 in which we get a little more backstory.
I'm switching between Audible, Print, and this free Kindle Unlimited. It's a busy weekend but I will try my best to keep up with posting in the mornings. May take me longer to respond to comments but I'll be popping in from time to time.

Please Mrs Dean sit down and tell us all the gossip!
This helped some with figuring out Characters although I'm still going to need a Family Tree. 🤔

pickI love revisiting 'what Jane calls “the gaieties” of the Christmas season two hundred years ago.' This one goes back on my #forevershelf. Later this month I'll be rereading #janeandthewaterloomap in anticipation of Feb 8th Release of #janeandtheyearwithoutasummer.

pickCatching up on my Litsyness this morning.
One last #12Booksof2021 with @Andrew65. My #December pick is the Annual Christmas Story from #ChroniclesofStMarys. I look forward to this present of a short story every Christmas morning.
pick2 Bails and a Pick. Which is making my Goal of cleaning off my nightstand #HolidayReads stack go quicker.
The thing that makes The Holiday Switch a Pick is main character's love of Books. And we included Book Reviews from her Tinsels and Tropes Blog. Yes the plot is a big simplistic but it's a quick, sweet, holiday read.
bailedMy 2nd Bail of 2022.
In effort to clean off my nightstand and because I've read some less than stellar Holiday Reads, I popped over to Goodreads. Several Reviewers complained about not meeting the 12 of the Calendar and that it's not a Christmas Story but set during Spring/Summer. The only Christmas is just barely mentioned in Epilogue.
I want my Christmas Stories to have Christmas. Shame. It has such a beautiful cover. 🤷🏻♀️
I found this picture https://wuthering-heights.co.uk/locations/wh-tour-catherine of Mr Lockwoods sleeping spot. And while he had terrible dreams, I think it would make a perfect Book Nook. Just someplace other than Wuthering Heights. 😱

#Chapter3 #PemberLittens
bailedMy 1st Bail of 2022. I'm trying to finish up my stack of Holiday Reads. To much Teenspeak and wasn't enjoying the shallowness of Obsession of Instagram Followers.
In it's defense if it was the 1st of December I might have slogged on.
#myyearinbails #2022 #holidayreads
😱 Doesn't offer tea??? Definitely not in a Jane Austen Novel.
Also much like Mr. Lockwood I was/am confused about who's who.

#Chapter2 #PemberLittens
I've got 3 Readalongs going on right now. 🤪
#WanderingThroughWutheringHeights with Kindle, Print, but mostly Audible. My print copy wasn't in the database so I picked a specific one because it's a beautiful edition and so all my posts will be in the same Book Info.
Other #PemberLittens isn't Daily (schedule on @jenniferw88 profile) so I can read on less busy days.
#janeandthetwelvedaysofchristmas is winding down. Only 2 more days.
And we're off #WanderingThroughWutheringHeights!
First impressions #Pemberlittens?
Mine: I plan to listen to Audible the most so I'm really glad it Joanne Froggatt. She has a perfect voice for Narration.
I will post Daily and Tag the Group in the comments. (Will try to do this earlier but it's the Monday after a Holiday Weekend.) Feel free to join in the discussion here or make your own posts. #Chapter1
Oh the Blessed silence of an empty house. Husband who's been on vacation since Dec 23 is back to work. Nibilings left after 2nd long holiday weekends. And while I dearly love them all I'm throughly enjoying finally getting to sit down with this #PemberLittens #BuddyRead hosted by @jenniferw88.
I wish this book was available as ebook because it has so many wonderful quotes.
Intro - E.M. Forrester (Page 25 in my copy)
⬇️
pick1st Read of 2022! Yesterday I read just in case I decide to do a #Great2022ParasolverseReread. And it's a great short story to start off the year. 🤓
"Outside it was completely silent. There was no sound of wind. In Shetland, when there was no wind it was shocking. People strained their ears and wondered what was missing."
Perfect day for by the fire my #irlbookclub January Read for the Theme of Cold Book by a Warm Fire. I binged read this series about 4 years ago. Looking forward to reread.
Fun Fact it's warmer in Shetland 45 F/7C than Oklahoma today 28F /-2C

"As the parlour clock began to strike twelve, I opened the kitchen door to let the Old Year out. Then I hurried along the passage to the parsonage hall, and on the stroke of twelve, threw wide the front door to let the New Year in."
Happy New Year! ???
