Wuthering Heights | 
I‘m rereading Wuthering Heights to gear up for the 20th anniversary of Twilight next month. Also reading Sunrise of the Reaping and tossing in a lighthearted sweet romcom too for balance. Runaway Bride and Prejudice is by one of my fav sweet romance authors, Emma St. Clair.
Emily Brontë's classic novel, "WUTHERING HEIGHTS," is getting a new movie adaptation!
The movie stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi in the lead roles, and it is written, directed, and produced by Emerald Fennell.
It is scheduled to be theatrically released in the United States on February 13, 2026!

In a year of bittersweetness, this week has probably been the bittersweetest. Still, there is joy.
1. A lovely remembrance gift from a thoughtful Litten. @dabbe
2. A basil plant kit from the library, a prize for completing the adult summer reading challenge.
3. Mid-week evening Still Hour service.
4. Girls Night Out at the local shopping place.
5. My friend made me earrings for Girls Night Out at the local shopping place.

panSorry to say, but I don't like this one bit.
I found every character to be utterly unlikable. The narrative failed to engage me for the majority of its duration. Furthermore, I felt completely detached from what I interpreted as mere gossip.

The last few days have been tough, no doubt. Losing a pet is such a hard life event. But I'm slowly feeling better and looking for joy in time with #TomKitten and a highly anticipated new edition of a book I love to hate and hate to love. Maybe I'll do a January buddy read of this one; it's too sunny and lovely to dig into now, but seems the perfect thing for very grey days!

pickThis classic bears up under more than one reading. I had forgotten how utterly unlikable the main characters are. But it‘s a novel that you just can‘t put down. The story is so compelling and the ending is so satisfying. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
On the new Wuthering Heights film. Uuugh!

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.

4. My recipe box 📦 🎥 will be featured in a documentary!!
5. Nice visit to the in-laws in Neb. And lots of great barns to see on the drive. 📸
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?
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
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.

pickI adored every second of this book. The relationships between characters are so well fleshed out and intricate. The way in which it explored love, longing and anguish is incredible.
“-existence, after loosing her, would be hell.
'Yet I was a fool to fancy for a moment that she valued Edgar Linton's attachment more than mine - If he loved with all the powers of his puny being, he couldn't love as much in eighty years, as I could in a day.“
“-you fight against that devil, for love, as long as you may; when the time comes, not all the angles in heaven shall save him!“
“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!“
“You are welcome to torture me to death for your amusement, only, allow me to amuse myself a little in the same style“
pickMy 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!🖤
So much novel to screen news today!!
My late Aunt gave this to me years ago, and since she's passed, it's made it that much more special to me. 💕

I'm in my classics era (again)! I'm reading Wuthering Heights for the first time this year. I'll reread it in December since I read it every Christmas!
bailedReading through 200+ pages of a group of people all yelling at each other and threatening to harm each other... Honestly feel like this book gave me the flu. Avoid

pickMy second time reading Wuthering Heights. I figured as I was finally reading some of Charlotte and Anne for the first time, that I would re-read my favourite. After having read Jane Eyre and Agnes Grey, I would conclude that the other stories are probably slightly better written, however, I just think the story of Wuthering Heights trumps all others. The depth and darkness is unmatched and there are passages that are unlike anything I‘ve read.
I know the inside of a book is more important than the outside… but isn‘t this a pretty thing? 🌺
1) I am working most of the day, but will be leaving a bit early, It is my brother's 40th bday, so we are going out to eat where we will probably be 2 of 10 patrons as most of KC will be downtown for the super bowl parade.
2) Tagged! If it's good enough for Kate Bush, what's to complain about?! (j/k WH is def not a romance, but I LOVE it)

If by romantic you mean absolute obsession to the point of pure torture--even in the so-called afterlife, then it's got to be these two. 🤩
I lingered round them, under that benign sky; watched the moths fluttering among the heath, and hare-bells; listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass; and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers, for the sleepers in that quiet earth.

so-soWhat a despicable male character Heathcliff is.
I don't know why this man is romanticised. It is beyond me. All he wanted was to possess and destroy everyone around him.
Getting soaked in Bronte country today. It was very pretty, and very wet.
“Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living. You said I killed you haunt me then. The murdered do haunt their murderers. I believe--I know that ghosts have wandered the earth. Be with me always--take any form--drive me mad. Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! It is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!”
― Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights
pickI was a little confused at the beginning, mainly because of the characters that are introduced all at once, but once I got into the story it all became much clearer.
The plot of this book is just crazy and that‘s the genius of it. I don‘t know how Emily Bronte came up with this story but it‘s insane. The more I read, the wilder it got. My mind is still reeling
