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 Brontë

pick

When I was reading Wuthering Heights, I felt a sense of a dark, 🌩🌌stormy night, gloomy candlelight🕯, and vivid illustrations that made it all play out like a movie in my mind.Heathcliff‘s this deep, messed-up guy you just can‘t forget, and Catherine‘s torn between what she feels and what the world expects. Their love is wild, complicated, and kinda haunting.

Ruthiella So over the top! 😂 5mo

BkClubCare @Ruthiella - people have been messy over-reacting humans since time immortal? That is what I come to understand when I read classics. 5mo

Ruthiella @BkClubCare Well, I do think that Emily Brontë turned it up to 11! ? 5mo

Wuthering Heights | Bronte Emily

So, one of the categories for the #ReadICT (City of Wichita KS) Reading Challenge is a book that scares me.

I have been fearful of this book. For. Ever? A long time?! I was dismissive of the “girl authors” when I was a snotty snob in HS decades ago and NOW, honestly, them Bronte sisters scare me! 😳 I listened to Jane Eyre (Thandie Newton 🌟) and ❤️‘d it. Will WH give me the same reaction?

LoverOfLearning Hmmm. These books are a bit different. Jane Eyre feels much slower and more character based, whereas WH is a bit more Gothic, quicker paced and more focused on the theme/plot itself not just the characters. Hope this helps. Give it a shot. The audiobook was pretty good. But there many different audios so find one where you like the narrarators voice best. 5mo

Ruthiella Agreed with @LoverOfLearning Emily Brontë‘s style is very different from Charlotte‘s. I‘d also try the audio, not only because there is at least one character who speaks entirely in Yorkshire dialect. ? 5mo

LoverOfLearning @Ruthiella yes exactly! Ha. But I did enjoy both of these books! Not my favorite of the classics world but definitely worthy. 5mo

Tamra WH is one of my all time favorites! ❤️ 5mo

BkClubCare @LoverOfLearning I am definitely going audio. I have done enough research (too much?!) of these books that have only added to me trepidation. I did not mean to imply that JE and WH are similar- only that I feared both, in their own way. 5mo

BkClubCare @Ruthiella - I *ADORE* the classics via audio. I hope that I have fabulous experience 😊 5mo

BkClubCare @Tamra - that is part of my irrational “fear” so many have loved it, and so many have said that their stage-in-life affects their reaction. Kinda wonder if I am “too late” 5mo

Tamra @BkClubCare it seems to be polarizing because it is about people behaving badly. 😬 Go into it curious and try to let go of expectations. It‘s okay if you don‘t like it! 5mo

LoverOfLearning @Tamra agree! Go into it as if you know nothing. I found it interesting thinking about how differently we respond to heartbreak and societal differences today. 5mo

Readerann I don‘t remember too much about how I felt about the characters - but I DO remember how much I loved the writing . 5mo

Lcsmcat If you remember WH is not a love story but a revenge story you‘ll get more out of it. (edited) 5mo

BkClubCare @Readerann - it‘s a classic for a reason. For this, I am looking fwd. and why audio is my choice cc 5mo

BkClubCare @Lcsmcat - good to know 👍 5mo

Suet624 I read it years ago - decades ago - and loved it. 5mo

TheLudicReader Do it! 5mo

Wuthering Heights | Emily Brontë

Saw this posted by an acquaintance on Instagram, and I am once again begging the world to stop romanticizing this story of generational abuse, trauma, and revenge. #WanderingThroughWutheringHeights

bookishbitch I was so concerned for a moment. Yes!!!! Say it louder for the people in the back please! 5mo

Andrea313 @bookishbitch I suppose I should have edited the image with a giant thumbs-down emoji or something! Because UGHHH. The only thing tells me is that whoever made this list has never read the book. And obviously the person who reposted it has never read it, either. 5mo

readingjedi Yes! It's the antithesis of romance - horrible people being horrible to one another (and I love it!) 5mo

Andrea313 @readingjedi Right! I'm not saying I don't enjoy it! But come on, it's not romantic! Capital "R" Romantic, yes! Valentine's Day post on Insta romantic? GTFO. 5mo

bookandbedandtea Ugh yes! It's a well told- even fascinating- story but romantic it is not! 5mo

My late Aunt gave this to me years ago, and since she's passed, it's made it that much more special to me. 💕
