I‘m sure you‘ll appreciate that the name of our snow accomodation is a bookish play on words 😂❄️

(The photo might be a bit small to make out the name but it‘s called Weathering Heights! There is also a copy of Wuthering Heights on the bookshelf in the lounge)

Ok fine, I'm glad I finished it. The writing was good but I disliked so many of the characters. (I am glad that this version had Jacob's lines translated into the footnotes. His speech was tough to decipher.) I think Heathcliff is the absolute worst. The ending changed nothing for me in that regard. I'm looking forward to my buddy chat about it. #notalovestory

A hot tip for those of you yet to read Wuthering Heights: given how many characters Emily Brontë names for their parents, and how many of them marry their cousins, an edition like this one with a Genealogical Table in the front is really handy! That said, it's basically just a bad boy's decade-long butt-hurt over getting “friend-zoned“. Full review here: http://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/wuthering-heights-emily-bronte/

I'm not quite halfway through this and I hate everyone. If I wasn't doing this as a buddy read I don't know if I would continue. Why are so many classics abysmal reads?

I am one of the few readers out there that love Wuthering Heights so I was excited to see this at my library.

I am also very curious in reading works where the author has interpreted the classic text and have made their own story. Also Kate Mosse is a favourite.

Emily Brontë, who wrote the novel Wuthering Heights, and Kate Bush, who wrote the song 'Wuthering Heights', were born on this day 140 years apart (1818/1958).

Hoping some powerful music will make this book more exciting. I am committed to reading it. At least once in my lifetime. And I'm been trying for at least 10 years. I've never been past 100 pages before... I'm at 102 today. #cheersforme #determined

#colormepretty #coolcolors

Had a hard time rating this book. For the execution and writing I would give it a “pick”, however the book itself wasn‘t my cup of tea until I got to the last 10%. I just didn‘t like or respect any of the characters up to that point, which makes it hard for me to enjoy a book. But it did evoke intense emotion from me (just not positive emotion), which is a sign of an excellent novel. Very torn about this book but happy I read it!

Book #45: Wuthering Heights ended up being a very weird book and not at all what I expected. I initially considered this to be one of those "chic lit" books but I couldn't have been more off. This is one of the most depressing books I have read yet. The book explores how Satan himself can sometimes corrupt people into being wretched human beings...

Here‘s my other take of #Gold for #ColorMePretty
Yes! I Love Gold! 💛😆 and these Gold BookSpines on my TBR are just so gorgeous (Except Anna Karenina & Wuthering Heights are gifts to me & I‘ve read them both) 💛

Sorry I haven't been posting, haven't been feeling too well, but heres a #Shocking post for #30JuneBooks
When I first read the tagged book (many moons ago), I didn't know it's considered as #Classics but simply a fiction and I loved it. Haven't reread it in Years! So I guess I need to do so soon & hope I still like it as an adult 🤗🤞
Have you reread a book that you loved but end up hating it after reread?

#bookspine #booknerd #bibliophile

Going to tackle this one as a buddy read. Neither of us have read it yet. Hopefully it isn't one of those classics that let me down. My daughter said she liked it so that bodes well.

OMG! I saw this in the Library books sale and HAD to have it!!!!!

Wuthering Heights is full of some on my favorite, overly dramatic doofuses in school mandated reading, and every last one of 'em has what you might call a Vengeance Factor.
I don't have a lot of thoughts on the TNG ep, since it's been a few years since I last saw it. On the rewatching I'm doing for my podcast I'm finding myself appreciating Riker more, so I'll be interested to get here.

I can understand people have issues with this book but you can‘t help but love these characters, this author, and what it reveals about human nature

#quotsymay19 #breathe

The love of Heathcliff and Catherine remains unparalleled in #literature even to this day. So, here's to this beautiful, unique, and stormy #lovestory

My first thought for #BeautifulCrazy was Wuthering Heights, specifically the TV version with Tom Hardy and Charlotte Riley. The truth is I really don't like this book at all, but I will rewatch the movie of it! #AMonthofSongs

“I gave him my heart, and he took and pinched it to death; and flung it back to me. People feel with their hearts, Ellen, and since he has destroyed mine, I have not power to feel for him.” #rejection #quotsymay19 @TK-421

Even though Heathcliff changes his mind, he's only just begun to scheme his long-term revenge.

Book #25 How much they loved and how much they hurt...

Some might call them hauntings, others might say it is just a #carelesswhisper. But whatever you call it, Cathy sure knows how to get the attention of the men she wants to torment, and it doesn‘t matter much if she‘s alive or not 👻

Second read on my 100 books bucket list. Should manage a couple of chapters before bed 😏

No time for any true #selfcaresunday. Surgery in the morning & have to be at the hospital at 5:30am. But stealing a few moments out back while I chug this bowel prep in my Thunder cup hoping it‘ll go down easier, lol! 🤢

Also trying to finish Wuthering Heights since I have never read it. I must say, this is not the story I thought it was going to be. 🤣🤣 These are some really terrible people. Do people really love this? Somebody tell me why?

1) Virgo ♍️ which I seem to fit more and more as I get older
2) Recently actively started trying to lose weight and I‘m down 10lbs! 💪🏾
3) Wuthering Heights. I just... couldn‘t do it. And I hate not finishing books (I made myself finish The Scarlet Letter) but I just could not get into it.
4) Work 😅
5) To anyone who hasn‘t done it yet! I‘m not good at keeping track, lol.

1. Scorpio for western astrology, Water Dog for eastern.
2. Working on several big art things I‘ve been asked to do. Yay.
3. Wuthering Heights, ugh, I tried.
4. Either YA Bookfest or Trans Visibility Fest, can‘t decide which.

After finishing the book I ended up feeling Catherine‘s longing when she said “...my life is his. If everything else were destroyed, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if everything else remained and he were gone, the universe would seem a stranger...my love for Heathcliff is like the unchanging rocks beneath: a cause of little conscious pleasure, but necessary to my being."-Catherine Earnshaw, Wuthering Heights
#wutheringheights

I finished up my walk today with Juliet Stevenson musing on her experience of recording the audio narration of Wuthering Heights. Like Juliet, I appreciate this book even more as an adult, and especially now that I‘ve learned more about the life of the author. The scope is impressive, especially given the limited setting and Emily‘s comparatively limited “life experience”. I‘m in awe of her writing prowess.

I struggled in deciding to pick how I wanted to rate the book. I really enjoyed parts of it, the above quote is arguably the best quote from the whole book! However, as the book progressed my sympathy for Heathcliff‘s character diminished and somewhere in the middle I could no longer stand him. In class we discussed him as a Byronic Hero and I suppose it fits with his character, but it didn‘t make me like him anymore.

Finished two more school assigned books this past week!

Ready for book club discussion tonight - I don‘t tab my book - just couldn‘t read this book in full a third time. Had to tab the key scenes

I was up in the village of Haworth, home of the Brontës a few weeks ago. I stayed in a hostel and walked out to Ponden Hall the house that inspired Wuthering Heights. Well it seems it‘s up for sale if anyone is interested in a house with literary pedigree!

This is neat!
