Jessica Furtado is 60% done with The Favorites: Obsessed with this soapy ice dancing saga! Not my usual genre, but a friend recommended it and I was instantly hooked. I didn't enjoy Wuthering Heights when I read it several years ago (which surprised me), but I love this reimagining of that broody tale. I may even attempt to give Wuthering Heights one more chance after finishing The Favorites and seeing the upcoming film adaptation.
