See Jane Run

(Day 28 - #Easy)

*The tagged book by Joy Fielding reminds me of my first ā€easyā€¯ readers, the ā€Dick and Janeā€¯ series. Above are illustrations and a cover from 1956 vintage editions of those books. Did you read them?

Cinfhen, RohitSawant

Cinfhen Yup!!! See Dick Run. Dick can Run. See Jane run. Jane can run. Dick and Jane can run. Can you run? 5y

KathyWheeler My mom said they frustrated me, which I don‘t remember, although I do remember the books. 5y

batsy Yes, we had the Ladybird series of Peter and Jane books! 5y

RohitSawant Wonderful take on the prompt. Wasn't aware of these! Love the artwork. 5y

gradcat @rohit-sawant Oh, see what you missed? š‚ I think books were pervasive for English-language readers of a certain age. @Cinfhen seems to remember them pretty well. @batsy I don‘t know of those editions...I suppose they are also illustrated? 5y

gradcat @KathyWheeler Maybe because they are so repetitive? š‚ 5y

KathyWheeler @gradcat Probably so! š„ 5y

This was a wild ride. I was seriously up and down with this book like a roller coaster. I didn‘t piece together the ending at all and the twists just kept shocking me throughout the book. I always find a book about memory loss terrifying because it leaves a person at a complete lack of control of their self in all capacities. Awesome thriller. Definitely read it if you haven‘t!

so-so

I think there may be only one copy of this book in existence and every litten who has read it shows the same beat up paperback.
Jane has no memory of her life, her caregivers seem to be making matters worse or is she just going crazy. Ok, so this really picked up at the end, I wouldn't call it a slow burn because that implies suspense. The memory loss schtick got old for me pretty quickly. That said deviously clever villain.

Alfoster This sounds so familiar that I think I read it, but you are probably right; and it may pale in comparison to recent thrillers! 6y

When I was searching this book on Litsy to add to my stack I noticed nearly every copy of this that was posted was a beat up old paperback like this one :)

I was working on my never ending quest to find exciting titles to have on my bookshelf at school for independent reading. I stumbled across See Jane Run and immediately ordered it.

Day 7 #TitleWithAProperName #ReadJanuary This was the first Joy Fielding book I read and I loved it. It doesn't have anything to do with running shoes, that's just wishful thinking on my part. It's way too cold for running shoes today. Get out the heavy gloves, scarves, and hats!

Jhullie This was my first one too. I still have it, and many others š¤“ 8y

Tanner @Jhullie Me too - she has strong female characters. I was lucky enough to get a signed ARC of missing pieces at a book trade show many years ago. 8y

This book reminded me a bit of Gone Girl in that the first half dragged a little, and then suddenly everything took off all at once. Jane, the main character, is my kind of heroine. Even when crazy circumstances pull her down, she fights her way back up. I wish more books had female characters like her.

Took some time off from grading tonight to get some reading done. Thought I had this mystery figured out, but I'm not so sure anymore...even my pup is sniffing for clues!
