I‘m three chapters in and I‘m just like, “why are y‘all so mean to her??” 😭😭😭 #janeeyre #charlottebronte #savejane #currentlyreading
“I blamed none of those who repulsed me. I felt it was what was to be expected, and what could not be helped: an ordinary beggar is frequently an object of #suspicion; a well-dressed beggar inevitably so. To be sure, what I begged was employment; but whose business was it to provide me with employment? Not, certainly, that of persons who saw me then for the first time, and who knew nothing about my character.” #QuotsyJune19
Doing these can be difficult when your first name begins with a difficult letter. At least it‘s not X? 😬@RealLifeReading #alphabetbookishquiz

The Gypsy in Jane Eyre is from down the Road, kind of. 😉

Pro tip from Jane Eyre for next time my heart is in distress!
pickLoving this audiobook at the moment, the version I chose is read by Elizabeth Klett, who is easy to listen to. I have never read a Bronte book before and I have recently watched the movie, Jane Eyre, on Netflix, so inspired me to find the book. Beautifully written and gentle story so far, thoroughly enjoying this classic novel like I never thought I would
#30JuneBooks Day 4 : J
J , to me, means Love of my life
My daughter & my husband‘s name both start with the letter J. And now that I've read this book, it has become one of my favorite books & one that I Love to reread

Which movie is the best? Theres like 7 of them. 🙂
I‘ve become a bit obsessed with the concept of reading secular novels as sacred texts. I really need to read Jane Eyre after this article!

pickBook #21: Continuing on through my grandfather's book collection I noticed there was a large number of books by Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters. And so I decided to sit down and tackle some of those books.
It has been so long since I have read Jane Eyre, I feel that I can't do it justice anymore. This is another of the books I need to go back to...

1. I am releasing my constant need to do things right and perfect. I beat myself up this week about my lack of discipline with the #bfc and I need to give myself more love and credit for what I did accomplish.
2. I chose this quote from Jane Eyre.

I am really loving my re-read of JANE EYRE. What was going to say? My love? My darling? My Jane? The unknown is what is so swoon-worthy. #swoon
“I had often heard the song before, and always with lively delight; for Bessie had a #sweet voice,—at least, I thought so. But now, though her voice was still sweet, I found in its melody an indescribable sadness. Sometimes, preoccupied with her work, she sang the refrain very low, very lingeringly; ‘A long time ago‘ came out like the saddest cadence of a funeral hymn.” #QuotsyMay19
“Reader, it is not pleasant to dwell on these details. Some say there is enjoyment in looking back to painful #experience past; but at this day I can scarcely bear to review the times to which I allude: the moral degradation, blent with the physical suffering, form too distressing a recollection ever to be willingly dwelt on.” #QuotsyMay19
#QuotsyMay19 Day 12: #Experience. It has been awhile since I have read Jane Eyre. I hope to re-read it this year for our #WomenReadWomen2019, and hopefully it makes me a little more prepared to tackle Jasper Fforde‘s “The Eyre Affair” series next year.
I‘ve been rereading JANE EYRE, and I am just so into it! I didn‘t anticipate how much I‘d enjoy returning to this classic. The last time I read it was in high school with a fantastic teacher. Mr. Diana, wherever you are now, thanks for being such a great instructor to a bunch of hyper, book-loving freshman.
Another quote from earlier in the same conversation: “It is the cause of God I advocate: it is under His standard I enlist you. I cannot accept on His behalf a divided allegiance: it must be entire.”
“Oh! I will give my heart to God,” I said. “You do not want it.” 🔥
#Rejection #QuotsyMay19

1) I hate the term reading slump. I prefer "not in the mood". Just because I'm not in the mood for coffee I don't have a "coffee slump". ?
2) Actually doing something totally different instead of beating myself up for not being in the mood for reading. Crafting, watching a film, cooking, baking, going for walks,...
3) Britain, fantastical worlds, space,...
4) I'm in love with Penguin's different editions of the classics
pickHappy birthday Charlotte Brontë! Jane Eyre was the first book I read in English. And it is still one of my favourite books....
Can‘t sleep. Again. Rereading JANE EYRE on my phone and hoping I can drift off soon! 😴😴😴 (Not because I think it is a boring book. Just because it will get my mind of what is keeping me awake!)
1. Horror and nonfiction are my favorite genres.
2. Sci-fi or steampunk
3. Romance
4. Sci-fi (love Star Trek)
5. Jane Eyre - classic/romance
6. I forget the name of the book. I got a free audiobook, and the narrator was so bad I could not keep listening. He sounded like Rodney Dangerfield. Totally wrong for a horror book. It was so terrible it was a DNF which I rarely do.
7. Everyone!
“...my mind had put off all it had borrowed of Miss Temple—or rather that she had taken with her the serene #atmosphere I had been breathing in her vicinity—and...I was left in my natural element...beginning to feel the stirring of old emotions. It did not seem as if a prop were withdrawn, but rather as if a motive were gone: it was not the power to be tranquil which had failed me, but the reason for tranquillity was no more.” #QuotsyApr19

“I had forgotten to draw my curtain, which I usually did, and also to let down my window-blind. The consequence was, that when the moon, which was full and bright...came in her course to that space in the sky opposite my casement, and looked in at me through the unveiled panes, her glorious gaze roused me. Awaking in the dead of night, I opened my eyes on her disk—silver-white and crystal clear.” #veil #QuotsyApr19

1. I dream a lot! I sometimes write in phone notes but not a journal
2. Real: pigs named after Shakespeare and Chaucer characters. Imaginary: dragon
3. When I was 13 and read Jane Eyre I totally thought she was my soulmate and BFF for life
4. Forest from midsummer nights dream or hogwarts!
5. Don‘t know any kids personally but encouraging them to use their imaginations to work with Shakespeare is my day job!
Some classics never fade!! Though this is the 3rd time listening to this!! #librivox

“To be together is for us to be at once as free as in #solitude, as gay as in company. We talk, I believe, all day long: to talk to each other is but a more animated and an audible thinking.” #QuotsyMar19
