Wuthering Heights | Emily Bront

My first time reading this, I was under the impression this was a romance 💀 , I was really surprised how much I disliked everyone, I really hated Heathcliff, he was so UNRELENTING. Great ending, great gothic tale of revenge. I‘m happy about Cathy and Hareton. I want to watch an adaptation now but there are so many, what‘s the best adaptation? Grateful for any suggestions!🖤

Balibee146 I haven't read this book in probably 30 years...Long overdue for a re read. I tend to like TV adaptations as th longer format gives the story room to play out. There's one from 2009 with Tom Hardy which I'm sure I enjoyed ta the time. 1mo

I LOVED THIS BOOK. My god was I invested in these two. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rainbow always makes me want to move to Omaha and cook retro dessert‘s and casseroles, she makes me nostalgic for a life I never had. This is a wonderful book about friendship and love. Hope she writes more adult books

This book was cool and funny and smart. A story filled with nuance and heart, the writing was like a breath of fresh air, the characters were unique and flawed and relatable and I LOVED this book. GREAT READ!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Meh, I really enjoyed the first half, it was like a twisted romcom, the banter made me laugh and the gore was fun but the smut was really bad and I found myself skipping past it. The second half dragged a bit but that could be just me losing interest tbh. Nice twist at the end I didn‘t see coming tho. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ would have been better without the smut

Amara complicated her already precarious life so much in this book. It was incredibly stressful. The ending we got in this book was the exact result of her decisions and it was unfortunate but I couldn‘t see any other way out of it. Curious to see how this trilogy will end. I love some of these characters, I‘m scared for them and I‘m hoping happy endings. That being said, there is also a couple characters I want to see dead ☠️🤬

Fantastic book!! This book is smart and knife sharp. Annie is a robot programmed to please her owner Doug but it is so much more than that, a clever book diving into emotional abuse, autonomy and sense of identity. Recommend!! 🤖🩷 #botm

This book was interesting and creeped me out in a lot of parts but the authors writing style was extremely tedious to me. She repeated the same things constantly just rewording them in different ways and by the end of the book I was no longer invested in the story. Im sure this book was cathartic for the author to write though as she is a former Mormon and her upbringing and decision to leave the church were not easy.

This was a great little horror read. A woman becomes possessed by the demon Naamah. Honestly, you could read many parts of this book as not a woman possessed by an entity but just a woman who is angry, holding that anger in until it manifests into something monstrous. Really enjoyed this one

The first of many Beatles books I‘m going to be tackling this year ✨ heard really good things about this one from uber fans of the band and I like that it has an emphasis on not just the band but what was going on in the sixties at the time and how the two impacted each other.

LaraS Ooo looks interesting. This Boy was recently recommended to me too, I might just have to read a Beatles double header next year 12mo

Trauma trauma trauma. This book was ok but toward the end I really wanted it to end. Felt like one long therapy session. I enjoyed the main characters Matty and Logan but this novel dragged, not much actually happened and had sad themes.

I understand peoples issues w/ the characters, Josh is arrogant, pessimistic & rigid, Ari is flighty, crass (this book is definitely sex positive) & there are plenty of lines & things she does where I was like CRINGE but I loved the NYC feel, loved the dialogue, I wanted them to be together AND Josh was obviously Adam Driver (the author wrote him really well too) and the spicy scene was 🔥 Also I‘m not embarrassed to admit I cried like 3 times

Book 4 in the Creature Feature collection 🦠 This one was my least favorite, his writing style is a little choppy to me and although the story about what happened at the baseball game was cool and trippy, it was overall a little boring and ended abruptly

I don‘t even know what to say. This is a smutty novella about a woman who gets it on with her front door 🚪. The book is told from the doors POV, there is small plot involving murder and also little cameos from a couple Greek gods. Would I recommend this? No lol not really. Is this the worst thing I‘ve ever read? Actually, no lol. I‘m going to count this as a #Septemberromance read ✅🍂♥️🚪

I listened to the audiobook of this, made it my little ritual while I was doing the dishes at night. It was intriguing and relaxing, I loved whoever did the voice for Julia Day. This is a solid crime novel, I enjoyed it and would read more books from this author centered around Julia. This book really wasn‘t twisty or shocking, just a good British crime novel. Felt like I was watching a tv series lol
⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

This book was crazy. Like every chapter ended with something vaguely ominous, it was kind of ridiculous but made me keep reading. I actually did NOT expect the twist and was like WHAT. I thought it was really clever how that panned out. This was a solid fun thriller ⭐️⭐️⭐️
