Read in March 2016

I dedicate this review to my dear friend Jeffrey, who is a great person and writer. Jeffrey, you are incredible and you should never, ever change

SPOILERS

Jane and Mr. Rochester

More than once I have come across criticism on Charlotte Bronte for full... Read full review

Pradnya K. I'm going to read it this year, if possible in this month itself. The lead female characters are something to ponder upon. Your rating and timely quotes are motivating for this read.

Pradnya, I’m very glad I have managed to attract your attention to it. It's one of my all time favourites and I’m excited to see what you will make out of it. I really hope you like it. :)

Luke Taylor Have you seen the 1943 version with Orson Welles and Joan Fontaine? It is my favorite adaptation of this perfect work, the quintessential gothic romance. Thank you for your review, Vessey! :D

No! But I will. Thanks, Luke! :) Have you seen the 2011 version with Michael Fassbender? It is the only one I've seen. :( P.S. This isn't a review. This is me complaining that I can't write one! Unless you're thanking me in advance. How sweet of you. :)

Luke Taylor Oh! I didn't know that version existed until you told me! I must see it! Fassbender and Wasikowska are two of my favorites and I really love this story! (Thank you in advance, but I felt myself I couldn't properly review Pride and Prejudice, so, a non-review is still a review! Sometimes the best compliment we can give something is our inability to quantify our love for it!)
Best! Luke :D

Seemita Oh good to see you find some love there, Vessey! :) I would watch out for your review!

Kalliope Haha.. you made me smile with this enthusiastic snippet of a review.

Hey, look at that. I really like the way you think! :)

Thank you, Seemita! You’re very sweet and kind, as always. I love all your reviews. :)

Surprisingly, sometimes I have this effect on people. Thanks, Kalliope! :)

Lily That's a description of Rochester I haven't heard before. :D I look forward to reading more of your thoughts, Vessey!

He's wonderful, isn't he? I love him! Thanks, Lily! Hope I manage to pack up something.

Jaidee Mr. Rochester is bloody sexy and Jane is a dear angel. This book is awesome. I so look forward to your extended review :)

They are, aren't they? Thanks, Jaidee! :)

Anuradha Oh, I am so looking forward to your review of this! ^.^

Diane Barnes I am reading an ARC of a book of short stories by established women authors, and the only requirement is that the stories be inspired by Jane Eyre and use "Reader, I Married Him" as the jumping off point. It is beyond wonderful, and I have enjoyed each one so far, although I've only read 5 or 6. Different time periods, different points of view ( one has a dog named Mr. Rochester), they are delightful! The book is titled: "Reader, I Married Him", edited by Tracy Chevalier.

OMG, this sounds wonderful! I just have to get my hands on this book. And the dog Mr. Rochester! Ha-ha. Sounds great, Diane. Thank you so much for mentioning it. But what did you think of the real thing? It is certainly one of my all time favourite novels, though for now it’s still hard for me to explain why.

I'm going backwards on reviewing books on the BBC's Big Read. I'm going to read books that I haven't read, and re-read the ones that I have. Jane Eyre is ~~unfortunately~~ tenth. But hopefully, I'll review it within the year. (I'm currently on no. 198)

This sounds like a serious project! Okay. I will be keeping an eye for that review. So glad you too love "Jane Eyre". :)
