Go Jane! Go Jane! Jane was bloody fierce for her time! She was a strong, smart, independent woman. Just how we like them! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Centique This is still such a great book! And i love your photo 😍 6mo

My awesome big sister came for a whirlwind visit to Perth from Melbourne last week. She came bearing gifts. Will ya look at that mug featuring books by women 😍🙏. She also bought sensational hand made salami, which we might‘ve had with Chandon orange over ice 🥂. It‘s the first time she‘s been able to get here since she had to make a last minute dash out of Perth in March 2020 (she‘d been here for work). We‘ve booked to visit her in Jan 🙌.

CarolynM Fabulous! It‘s so good to be able to move around the country again🙂 (edited) 2y
batsy How lovely! That mug is fab. 2y

This book is an eternal "Pick" for me. No matter how many bonkers details emerge as I read it into adulthood, despite St. John's cold and paternalistic tendencies and Rochester's manipulations and the general dreariness that permeates every bit of it, I love Jane and I love this book. BUT- I will never understand why it ends with a joyful exultation of St. John's death?! Oh, Charlotte. You wouldn't be a Brontë if you didn't leave me wondering.

zezeki Love your review! 2y

Chapter 25:
🎶wedding bells are ringing in the distance🎶 Only a day left for the big day.
Rochester is away on business and Jane awaits him because she had a dreadful nightmare. Later when he arrives, she explains everything in detail.
I want to know too! Who was in her room? Who tore her veil in half? Did it really happen? (It seems so)
But all the signs are pointing to one big message, Jane and Rochester aren‘t meant to be 😪

Chapter 13:

I‘m loving this chapter 😂 Mr. Rochester is recovering from his fall. He “interviews” Jane on her past and her many skills, or a lack of them. He says and I quote, “You have lived the life of a nun.”
He could barely look at her when she entered the room and then compliments her “otherworldly” looks, which he then claims was the reason for his fall. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Nice flirting, not! 🤣

i.besteph @BarkingMadRun hahaha on point! 🤣💯 2y
Bookwormjillk 😂😂 what an awkward chapter 2y
Clare-Dragonfly I love how Jane reacts to him. I can‘t even describe it. It‘s not that she refuses to take his shit or that she plays along, but like… she will not confirm or deny. Even being a faerie 😂 (and I totally want to read a variation where she is a faerie or something!) 2y
Clare-Dragonfly I guess it‘s that she won‘t rise to his bait. She won‘t deny that she is otherworldly but she won‘t be flirty and say she is, either! And she won‘t argue with him that she doesn‘t plagiarize! 2y
eeclayton This is a reread for me, but I didn't remember her paintings at all. #herpaintingssoundcreepy indeed! @BarkingMadRun 2y
BarkingMadRead @eeclayton me either! I‘m glad it wasn‘t just me! 2y
i.besteph @Clare-Dragonfly I agree! I thought she would buckle under pressure. But I love her bluntness lol 😍😍 2y
Clare-Dragonfly @i.besteph That touches on what I‘m struggling to articulate—she‘s not just blunt. She could easily be blunter and say “I‘m not an elf, there is no such thing” and “of course I didn‘t plagiarize my paintings, what a rude thing to say.” But that would give him an opportunity to snap back at her, like “of course you would deny it.” But instead she says things he can‘t really argue with! 2y
StolenBookmobile Bahahaha 2y
i.besteph @Clare-Dragonfly I think she‘s witty. She had the presence of mind to understand what needs to be said and what doesn‘t. Much from her childhood made her seem like a quiet mouse, but I like how her personality is surfacing. She isn‘t afraid 😍 2y

I‘ve been wanting to reread this for such a long time. I‘m glad to finally have something motivate me to do so. Is it the best time given the current state of things with my own Rochester? Probably not.

But look at this cover! 🔥

Chapter 1:

We‘re introduced to Mrs. Reed, her three children (Eliza, John and Georgiana), and Jane. Not sure how she‘s related to them but the poor girl is mistreated and abused. I never expected classics to mention something such as domestic violence right off the bat.
On another note, “Master Reed” reminds me of Augustus Gloop from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, who‘s been taken home from school on account of his “delicate health”. 🙄

Maggie4483 Yes! This is EXACTLY who I was picturing!!! 😂 2y
AllDebooks Lol, I can't unsee John with a chocolate bar now 🤣 2y
AnnR Even though this is a reread, I was still caught off guard by the violence and abuse in the first chapter. It really sets the tone for the rest of the book. One cannot help but feel sorry for Jane and her situation, with really nobody on her side, except maybe Bessie. (Great pic, i.besteph! 😆) 2y
i.besteph @ErinSueMreads @BarkingMadRun @TheAromaofBooks @Maggie4483 @AllDebooks Right?!? I couldn‘t picture John otherwise 😂😂 (edited) 2y
Erinsuereads I just started it and I'm literally already dying laughing 🤣 2y
i.besteph @Ann_Reads Rightly said, I was taken aback by the abuse because it always was so hush hush back in the day. Brontë‘s got nerve ?? 2y
Bookwormjillk @Ann_Reads me too! Somehow I forgot about this part. 2y
lauraisntwilder I remember reading this for a while in high school before giving up when they throw a book at Jane. This morning I learned that high school me didn't make it past page 5!? 2y

I read this many times as a younger person and it‘s been many years since the last time I read it. Jane Eyre is complicated, more so than I recalled. I‘m thankful for @peanutnine for hosting the #eyrereadalong. Otherwise, I might not have found an opportunity to get back to this classic.

peanutnine Thanks for reading along with me! I've enjoyed our discussions 😊 3y
batsy I love that cover! 3y
megnews @batsy I was reading this on kindle library loan over a few months‘ time. There were many covers to choose from but I had to opt for a more old fashioned looking one for Jane Eyre rather than the many modernized choices. 😊 3y

I have been listening to this on and off for a few weeks and just finished. At times I found my mind wandering, but as a whole I enjoyed the book. The proper writing and sometimes stiff characters was a little off-putting but then I remind myself of the time period and realize that Jane was quite bold for a female in that time period. I love that she was independent and had a mind of her own even before it was cool for a woman to have sass!

Hi there! This my first post here so I just thought I‘d share my very first reading love, Jane Eyre 💕 I‘ve always loved the character of Jane - she‘s so strong and sincere despite her less than fortunate life circumstances.. and I love the way she‘s the only woman who can win over the brooding Mr Rochester 😍
