The Story of Puss in Boots and Other Tales | Peter Holeinone

I picked up this book from the LFL a while ago, forgot about it, found it again during a bookcase cleanout, and read it in the midst of cleaning the bathroom. Cute illustrations, interesting twists on known stories, and several tales of trickery.

This is apparently part of a series, but I‘m skeptical that the author‘s name is really hole in one. 😆

Wuthering Heights | Emily Bront�

Two come to mind:

Wuthering Heights and A Tale of Two Cities.

I just didn't appreciate them the first time. Too immature, I guess. I was in high school. I tried again when I was a young mother. Still, no. It was in my mid 40s when I finally understood the appeal.

BookmarkTavern Wuthering is one of those I need to revisit. I was also in high school when I first read it. Thanks for posting! 5mo

BkClubCare I have a reading challenge with a category of “book that scares you”. I am thinking of listening to Wuthering Hts. 🫣 5mo

Butterfinger @BkClubCare I don't think it's scary. It is one of the earliest Gothic atmospheric books. Daphne du Maurier is scarier. She wrote the classic The Birds.

BkClubCare Oh, I don‘t mean scary like “BOO!” — I mean, that I don‘t know what my reaction will be. Sorry, maybe that doesn‘t make any sense. 5mo

Butterfinger @BkClubCare makes perfect sense. 5mo

Wuthering Heights | Emily Brontë

“No mother could have nursed an only child more devotedly than Edgar tended her. Day and night, he was watching, and patiently enduring all the annoyances that irritable nerves and shaken reason could inflict [...] his health and strength were being sacrificed to preserve a mere ruin of humanity, he knew no limits in gratitude and joy, when Catherine's life was declared out of danger,“

“But Heathcliff, if I dare you now, will you venture? If you do, I'll keep you. I'll not lie there by myself; they may bury me twelve feet deep, and throw the church down over me; but I won't rest till you are with me...I never will!“
