pick

I‘m glad we chose this for the first #HitchToScreen buddy read. This book has such a haunting atmosphere & I love her writing style. Mary is the main character but the moors themselves are a character & I love the gothic vibes. I‘m really looking forward to watching the movie. I‘ll be working on getting the reading schedule organized for the next year. I hope everyone is enjoying it so far! 5⭐️

nanuska_153 The moors feature so much in English literature, they are like the old version of quicksand, cause I don't know if they featured as much on people's lives as the stories made them think they would 1w

Clare-Dragonfly I‘m enjoying it very much so far! Thanks for organizing this! 1w

AnishaInkspill Last time I read this I found the plot more predictable then I thought I would. I had heard so much about this that I was expecting something more. Now I know what to expect it matters less and so I‘m enjoying it more this time. 1w

JenlovesJT47 @nanuska_153 very true! @Clare-Dragonfly @AnishaInkspill I‘m glad you guys are enjoying it! 🤗 1w

so-so

#unpopularopinion
After her mother dies and she loses the farm, Mary Yellan moves in with her aunt Patience and uncle Joss at the Jamaica Inn. Mary meets Joss's brother Jem and the Vicar. Something shady is going on at the Inn and Mary is going to find out what. Overall, the writing is beautiful, the story is good - I just could not connect right now.
#HitchtoScreen @JenlovesJT47 looking forward to watch party!
Make a great day everyone 🙂

JenlovesJT47 I just finished it a few minutes ago and I loved it. But I know what you mean. Sometimes you read certain books when you‘re not necessarily in the mood and can‘t connect. I‘m looking forward to watching the movie! ☺️ 1w

bthegood @JenlovesJT47 I'm glad I read it though, had never heard of it and the writing is amazing- you can feel the dread and dreariness of the Inn, and the rain/cold of the moors 🙂 (edited) 1w

JenlovesJT47 Very true! The whole vibe is haunting and creepy. 1w

bthegood @JenlovesJT47 👍 🙂 1w

Ruthiella I didn‘t like this one too much either. I think I was expecting something on the level of Rebecca and this is not that. 1w

bthegood @Ruthiella always good to know I'm not the only one - I may have been expecting something like that too 🙂 1w

I started two buddy reads today. The first chapters of both involve a mother dying after a long illness while being faithfully nursed by her daughter. It‘s a good thing I saw my mom yesterday and she was well… 😬

AnishaInkspill @JenlovesJT47 thanks for the nudge I will start this weekend. I'm not sure if I will be able to keep up with the pace as I am also reading a couple of other books but will try. 3w

CrowCAH Oh man I wish I had known about this buddy read. This book has been on my TBR for some time. I already have my books planned out for November and December. I‘m not sure I could squeeze one more in with all the book discussion dates. But, I could try… 3w

JenlovesJT47 @CrowCAH we‘re just starting #HitchToScreen this month and there‘s no pressure! This is our first book and I‘m going to try to plan the books out for the next year, I plan on putting everything to a vote in the next week or two. No rush to finish the book, just read it at your leisure & if you don‘t finish on time no worries. I can add you to the tag list if you want. I will post the link below to the book list. 🤗 3w
