(Below are the books that I reviewed and/or read this week - click on the covers to access the links.)
Firstly, I'm linking back to The sunday post held by Kim, The Caffeinated Reviewer. Click on the logo above to access her post and discover plenty of great bloggers who are dying to share their book reviews with you !
Secondly, there is going to be a new feature on this blog, a long haul feature : my Brontë mania ! I introduced it here and everything will be recorded on a single page, here.
I'm currently working on it, but here's the main idea : it seems to me I have loved the Brontës all my life, so I want to learn everything about them. Along the years, I have already read their juvenilia, novels (except Emma, Charlotte's unfinished novel) and their poetry, a few biographies here and there, but I want to pick it all back up from the start. This page will contain book reviews of course, but also TV and film adaptation reviews, internet links, a link to a Youtube channel I've created especially for this purpose. So, in fact, this page will always be under construction because I've noted enough references to study to last me a lifetime !
Aelig purrs "hi, have a great week and stay safe :) "
Brontë mania Sounds so fun. I am rushing there to find out more. I hpoe you are staying safe!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gayathri, I'm listening to some Navaratri music right now :)
DeleteYour focus on the Bronte family must be taking you into some fascinating areas... It always struck me it was a solid tragedy that such a gifted family with so much to offer were born at a time when the disease that ripped through them all had no cure. In the meantime, I hope you're enjoying your books!
ReplyDeleteIt was a gifted family indeed, and the water supplies at Haworth were really dreadful. I am enjoying them, thanks :)
DeleteEnjoy your Bronte mania! Luckily, I imagine there are plenty of resources available to learn loads about the Bronte's!
ReplyDeleteYou bet ! I have enough material to last me for years, lol ;)
DeleteI agree their story is fascinating. Glad to see you blogging again and delighted your linking up!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to be back, thanks Kim :)
DeleteSounds like it will quite a project, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great reading week
Thanks Shelleyrae, I wish you the same :)
DeleteI haven’t read much of the Bronte’s work, I think your idea is great, I’ll stop by YouTube once it’s up and running!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week.
Thanks Heather, I hope I'll be able to work on that Youtube channel more next week, I already have some videos in store ;)
DeleteYour new feature sounds fun. I hope you'll have lots of fun with it.
ReplyDeleteStay safe and happy reading.
Thanks Maureen, I'm completely excited about it ! Take care ;)
DeleteThanks for sharing...I do love the sound of your books!
ReplyDeleteI need to reread more of the Bronte books.
It's funny how re-reading them years apart, you find out new things in them - that proves they truly are great books :)
DeleteI love the sound of your Bronte project. How fun! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. I love reading about adaptations as well as books...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful kitty too!
She's a queen and expects to be treated as such ;)
DeleteI love adaptations, I have many DVDs like that and watch a lot of stuff on the internet !
Your Bronte project sounds wonderful. Enjoy! Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Yvonne, I love my Brontë project :)
DeleteHappy reading and I hope you enjoy your Brontë mania! 👋📚😃
ReplyDeleteThanks Jessica, enjoy your books too :)
DeleteI love the idea of your Bronte deep dive! I love doing stuff like that too. :) I will have to check back and see what you are doing. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks - I did something a bit similar recently with Jane Austen and have some more authors to add variety, such as Daphne du Maurier, Agatha Christie, Elizabeth Gaskell... There are so many interesting women writers :)
DeleteThe only Bronte I've read is Wuthering Heights, which was unsual, but very interesting. Have fun putting all that together, and stay safe!
ReplyDeleteWuthering heights is not to everybody's liking, it's violent, passionate and the characters are unlikeable. A bit wild ! Jane Eyre and Anne's novels are different, but with strong women - something I love.
DeleteI think I have only read one Bronte book and that was Wuthering Heights and that was so long ago that I think I should probably give it a reread. It would be a good book to add to my Classics Club list, I think.
ReplyDeleteWuthering heights is wild and passionate, it's one of my favourite novels and my sister's favourite. Not everybody enjoys it though, I'd be happy to hear what you think of it :)
DeleteLoved Jane Eyre! Have fun with your Bronte mania. You cat looks cute. Funny how they always love a box. :)
ReplyDeleteLove Jane Eyre too ! Aelig is really cute, she just meowls very loudly and expects to be treated like a queen. Cats and boxes, a love story ;)
DeleteWow a focus on the Bronte sisters!! Impressive!
ReplyDeleteYou could say I'm a Brontë disciple ^^
